The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I have risen!

Had a migraine last evening and went to bed early feeling pretty sheet. Headache has gone this morning but I feel a bit muzzy headed, so I think a slow day ahead for me.

Morning all. Slow club ride this morning instead of tomorrow due to the forecast. Let's see if it really is slow or if we get more idiots riding off the front.

In other news Facebook seems full of Scots who seem to think 0-0 is a win

This came up on my Facebook memories page this morning from 10 years ago, an epic day in the saddle.

"Sore legs and arse in the house tonight, Rode the Beacon Roads cc Cotswold Outing Audax, 67miles, I also rode to and from the HQ at Woodrush Rugby Club in Wythall, 119miles total mileage covered, including a minor navigational whoops."

Thank's for the suggestion, I've slid the lower cover off and checked the reset button hasn't popped, then followed the relight procedure detailed in the instructions panel. It goes through the starting sequence, pump starts running and I can see a small pilot flame through the inspection window, but the main flame doesn't light ( I'm used to hearing the " Woomph " as the boiler fires up ) I can also hear a regular tic, tic, tic, of the ignition circuit. At this stage my strategy would be to think of @welsh dragon and her Bloomers and then immediately jump under a cold shower, but it appears that that avenue is no longer available to me...

I think people are obsessed with my bloomers.

Good morning mrs WD are you well?

Good morning peeps.
It's a grey start to the day here in Barnetshire and will probably be so for the rest of the day.
We have some friends coming down this afternoon at lunchtime, so food and ales will be partaken.
I am trying to forget the tame performance by the England football team yesterday.
Enjoy your day everyone

A necessary source of joy in these challenging times. 😁
I spoke with our Gas Lady's mum who says that it's a special family Birthday party today so I asked her not to bother as I could muddle through until Monday. She was insistent that she inform her daughter as the boiler had only recently been serviced. I worked repairing stuff for many years and know it's only too common to blame the last person to touch something for any subsequent fault, although correlation is not causation.
If I do have to wait until Monday I'll be heading off to the seashore with my " Soap on a Rope "

Anyone want a cat that's obsessed with drawer raking? It's one of these drawers that I seem to shove random stuff in and so far this morning she has hauled out a face mask, a mini bike pump, assorted elastic bands, spare pair of cleats, etc.

Nice to see them back again

I am expecting the UK to have a heatwave and with that in mind, I am going into business using my old bloomers as giant sunscreens. A bit of sewing here and there, a few patches ( multicoloured of course) a few tent poles and I can rent them out as marquees as Well. I bet people will be clubbing each other to death for a chance to ger they're a hands on them. I envisage a roaring trade.

Assuming it has one it soundsike the thermo couple to me.
I used to maintain and repair**thermostatically controlled heating thingies for bitumen boilers. When they refused to fire up 90% of the time it was the thermo couples. If you can get to it, it should be a simple replacement.
** if that makes me sound clever.....I am not.

Bonjour. Been up at least 10 minutes now and after walking Molly and getting bread from the French bakery up the road, I will go for a small ride ( about 15 miles) .
France is playing at 2 pm on BBC1, so that's my afternoon sorted.
My wife told me yesterday that we are going to Devon AGAIN on the 28th as it is our grandson's 18th birthday on the 29th . This time, my car will be staying there as our daughter is buying it from me. She is moving house early next month so our other son will be coming down then to fetch us back.
I shall miss that car as it has been very good to me so we will be down to just one car .
Hoping to be back in Wales early in July as my son is going back to Taiwan round about the middle of July so I would like to see him before that. Going to his house on my bike on Monday.
Weather is good here but forecasting rain tomorrow.
Have a good day every one.

Morning all

Off to Honiton this morning for the street market.
A bit overcast here but not raining, so that's OK.

I like a good street market so we await your report.
Too many of them selling the same tat nowadays.

Weather looks a bit yucky for the next few days in this neck of the woods
