The Retirement Thread

Buckles!!

Spoilers!!!!

Knowing that you lot can't help yourselves, I actually avoided this thread until I had finished watching the final episode (5 minutes ago...)

I suppose I will also have to take leave of absence every afternoon and evening for the 3 weeks of the Giro and then the 3 weeks of the Tour de France too!

Morning. Minus 1 here. It’s to be dry until late morning/lunchtime so better make the most of it. Too chilly for the bike so a walk/jog this morning I think.

Good morning all, 5° here this morning, rain due mid morning.

Hello the house.
Up for a pee at 0500 but managed to get back to sleep......eventually sort of woke at
0600.
Just one important thing to do. Record our "happy birthday" video for our grand daughters 18th.
Dry and 7° at the moment but a poor forecast.

Line of Duty 7/10...Spiral 10/10

I hope so

And, talking of boring films (well we are now )........I watched Dancing With Wolves yesterday. Not seen it before.
90% load of old tosh. It was so slow and went on for ever. A few exciting bits but, as I said, 90% boring.

Good morning all fellow wheezers.
A spot of gardening today. Ineed to fork over a bit of the front garden before the rain comes. One, to allow the rain to soak in more easily as it is rock hard, and two, there are a few weeds growing there and they need to come out before the geraniums go in.

Miss P is calling in around lunchtime, she is meeting some of here old school friends locally and is stopping at ours on the way past.

Probably no bike ride today as the weather looks horrible later on.

RE. the new story about some people 'breaking into' WIndsor Castle

The Evening Standard had this as part of teh article

QUOTE
It comes just days after a woman was allegedly allowed into the grounds of Prince Andrew’s home by mistake.

She entered the Royal Lodge while Andrew, was home, and was stopped by a member of staff.

The woman was arrested on suspicion of burglary and was later sectioned under the Mental Health Act after pretending to be Andrew’s fiancee and claiming she was meeting him for a lunch date.

UNQUOTE
Soo

she was sectioned when she claimed to be Andrew's fiancee - OK

Seeing this has prompted me to post a comment from another thread:

Following the moving sight of Prince Philip making his final journey atop an elderly customised Land-Rover, Prince Andrew has requested that when he goes, it should be on top of a 15-year-old Escort.

Morning all

Looks lik a typical Bank Holiday Monday forecast today - heavy rain and 60 mph winds. That'll keep the Grockle's heads down.

I am back. Very slow 10k done, nice warm bath had and now for breakfast. Already dulling over so I think the forecasted rain will be here soon so glad I've been out and done something at least.
