The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good morning all. Strange weather this morning. I was up at 5.15 and there was light frost, sun and 6C now we have cloud and spitting rain.

Hoping to ride around 9.00 then 24 hours earlier than the government says I'm heading out to see my lad, Tom. He has Down's and supported living in the community. Two months since we saw him.

Why I don't know but I've been thinking about one of my favourite bands, Jefferson Airplane, and the oh so beautiful Grace Slick who has such an amazing voice.

Good morning people, it would appear that the highlight today will be taking some wallpaper back to B & Q, apart from that I've just got housework to do.

My highlight today will be cycling to the garage to pick up my car. hopefully by 11 am it will have warmed up.

I use durano plus on all my bikes , not the fastest but very puncture resistant. What are your new wheels ? And where was your picture taken ?

The new wheels are Vision Team 30's. the picture yesterday was taken at Witherley, just off the A5 just outside Atherstone.

Good morning fellow retirees,
A crisp but sunny morning 🌞
Today should see me pass the halfway stage on my virtual LEJOG.

Some friends who live out Wimborne way tell us that the "Egg lady" is still open for business🥚🥚.
(There are two adjacent cottages on the Cowgrove road, one sells eggs via an honesty box system, her neighbour sells Jams, referred to as the "egg lady" and the "Jam lady" respectedly 😊)

Mrs Tenkay is planning on an excursion out that way, I'm still confined to barracks.

Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🏃🚲🚶🌞

Can't say I envy you if last weeks reported queues are anything to go by.

gday gday gday everyone.
Got up at 0730. It was cold but bright and I thought a good day for a walk. Now, at 08.10 its very dark with rain (quite heavy rain)**.
**and guess what? The window cleaner is due
Its definitely a bleh sort of day which matches my mood.

The computer that has been getting slower to start up from sleep over the last few weeks is now not starting up at all.

Morning all

No frost here - but, then again, we rarely ever get one.
Going to drop MrsD off at the entrance to the Burrows this morning, so she can have a good long walk and take pictures of the orchids.
The car park is closed and she hasn't been able to get over there since lockdown started. It's her favourite place and she's been really missing it.
Meanwhile I will be cutting slabs to make a hardstanding for our wheelie bins and awaiting a phone call to go and pick her up.
