The Retirement Thread

Finished cleaning the bathroom. Had to stop as my daughter and granddaughter came up for a walk.

Washed dishes for a second time after lunch and I now have another coffee

Nikita is a Russian male first name.

The name Nakita means Victory Of The People and is of American origin. Nakita is a name that's been used primarily by parents who are considering baby names for girls.

But TBH male or female would make no difference today.....I am knackered

Is your coffee granular or machine ?

I have both but to be honest I usually just do instant.

MrsD has had results from 'part' of her bloods.
Apparently she is borderline malnourished. Not surprised tbh as she can't eat without gagging.
What we have to do is find a way to get her to eat.
Doc is also checking for Cancer. If all that is clear she will refer us to a Long Covid support group.
Life is certainly interesting

A decent 54 miles today. Sunny but biting cold wind which was vicious when we rode in to it. Started to feel good for only the second time this year and was able to push some good long inclines.

However...........out of nowhere a friend appeared. Well I say appeared more like went by in a blur of wheels and yellow. I hit the gas, no chance. Caught him at some lights. Winter training and new bike. All I can say is WOW!

About ten miles further on I'm giving it lots of beans, cooking with gas on a two mile incline. Yep, this is good Paul.......whoosh, my mate reappears. Between gasps I asked:

"What is it? Have I got red white circles on my back??!!!!" 😭😂😭😂

Lol...wasn’t me.

Windy here too but it’s looking like being a good settled spell ahead at last.

Didn’t really think it was. Just the right group you would be in caused the comment.

I managed a bimble this afternoon, the physio was coming to see my good lady and a neighbor was popping by for a chat, so I took my chance and nipped out for a short ride, a little 25 miles. A nice afternoon, warm in the sun but chilly when it clouded over, all with a brisk cold wind. It looks like I'm going to have to check my cycle computer, the gap between what the computer says and what the phones GPS says is too large, the difference shows up more now I'm doing short rides. I'm slower than a slow thing but it was good to get out, the occasional short ride is all I'm going to be doing for now, and its a challenge coming up with short routes.
