The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

I made an error last night
I normally stop checking on CC around 1700 and enjoy catching up over a coffee next day.
I kept peeping until late last night so have virtually no catchup left .

Visiting the auntie this morning**. Last week was the 1st allowed for months so MrsD and her sister went (they are her nieces). Apparently she said she wants to see me. She insisted that I take PoA and look after her money........very strange but she is lovely.
**they have built pods so 2 people can visit.

Good morning all.

Good morning fellow retirees,
Blowy and wet this morning, daughter coming around this afternoon to go for a run 🏃‍♀️
I’ll jump on the Turbo after coffee and listen to an episode of “Pilgrim” , see what William Palmer’s task is this time.
Have a peaceful day folks 👍

Glad I went out early. A very gentle 4 miles at the slowest possible speed just to keep it going. Rain came on just after I set off and it's really heavy now so glad it's done. Petzl head torch on charge ready for tomorrow.

Morning all

It's hammering down out there!
Forecast to ease off later, so I might venture down to the village.

Mornin' guys and girls. Blowin' an absolute hoolie here with rain squalls for extra fun.

I need to do a supermarket run mainly for veg so in and out quickly; order a small piece of venison for Christmas, find a small pressie for a friend and one for Mrs P.

Also need to pop over to No.2 son's house to check his tandem. I'm hearing worrying things about the cranks. Most would say BB but the frame cracked in this area a couple of years ago and was welded, the worry has to be this has failed a second time.

So a busy day ahead. Probably a plan to defrost tea from the freezer ASAP.

Really hope the new bike is ready, the current winter bike needs a new chain and cassette - urgently. Unusually I've ridden this in to the ground.

My new hobby of winding up Daily Mail readers is going really well. A very enjoyable passtime.

Good Morning All. Forecast wet and windy. I just have the cleaning to do today.
Yesterday we watched the concluding episode of Valhalla, very good stuff.

MrsD takes a Daily Mail.

For news purposes I subscribe to the New York times as the most politically objective news source available. The press and media in this country are some of the most politically biased in the world, to the point where its difficult to get a simple, factual and neutral report on a story or event. Its actually quite puerile how biased our media is, and even worse that the public let them do and and take such partisan positions themselves.
