The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

Morning all, windy but hopefully dry today. Caught up with the semi and final of the Sewing Bee yesterday, very enjoyable. I know nothing about and have no interest in sewing but since happening on the programme mid last series I’ve found it an utter delight.

Morning. Had a coffee then went out for 33 miles so that's my main exercise of the day done. Hopefully get a walk later, but first it's Weetabix and banana time.

Miserable day so far but an improvement on yesterdays dreadful weather. I did put the heating on first thing though. Yesterday I thought "I cant put the heating on in June" but I was wrong
We have a few bits planned eg some shopping for the aunty but apart from that, nowt.

Dish washers !!!!!
Who is it that replaced theirs recently?? I have @screenman in mind but could be wrong.
I remember Welshie saying you didnt bother replacing yours.
Anyway....ours was 12 years old and did a good job.....until it died. We weighed up repare Vs replacement and got a new one. Its a Whirlpool.
It is so much better than the old one. Better design, more options (too many tbh), quicker and so much quieter.
A good decision

Morning all

Off to Barnstaple town centre this morning for the first time since lockdown. I need to get some new T shirts before we go away next week.

I'm going.
Mate has been on promising good weather.
I wonder what he was on last night.
As Captain Oates said "I may be some time"

I live in Lancashire as well. I doff my cap sir, chapeau. I wouldn't be on a bike today, might as well sit in the shower fully clothed!!! 😄

Good morning. The winds have eased and the rain is now a steady, heavy, persistent drizzle - the sort that soaks right through. ☹️

Two lovely pictures @Mo1959 every time you post the one from the bridge I want to ride there!! Jealous? Moi?

Today is a walking day. Plans have changed, route shortened and a decision made at 12.00. Right now I'm not taking bets on going.

Forecast is saying a chance of showers this afternoon, so might just go my walk now.

We replaced our "Naff" earlier in the year. The original purchase was a toss up between Naff and Bosch. Made the wrong choice originally but replaced it with a Bosch and its a great machine.

We replaced our Naff with a Beko, the Beko is far better quality.
