The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

It would probably make sense but I only have 30 in the house. I might leave the ride until Sunday and pick up some SPF 50 tomorrow!

Can't you use two "coats" of SPF 30 and get SPF 60?

That actually raises an interesting question! Since the amount spread on the skin must vary wildly, surely the protection does too? It must be something like "an average thickness is SPF 30 (/40/50/whatever)"?

Anyway, I am not going to be asleep before 03:30 now so I will not be getting up early enough to do my 100 km ride. I'll make some more changes to my singlespeed bike and do a quick test ride in the morning.

Good morning folks,
Up early to see off daughter and her chap as they head off back to Edinburgh. They're going to do it in a day instead of stopping over mid way.
I'd forgotten what a lovely peaceful time of day it is, I can see why @Mo1959 is regularly up and about at this time.
Stay safe folks 👍

we pay a small monthly fee

To save me trawling back.......
Who do you use ?
How much is the monthly fee ?

 

[Dave7]

Good morning Kev......and everyone else.
Again I was in bed early (21.30), slept reasonably well but at 0430 I was awake.
Mo......our 1950 ex MOD house is solid brick** for every wall.
**the external walls are reinforced concret up to the windows.......apparently to resist seismic shock and anything the "enemy" threw at them.
The keeps the internal temperature pretty stable all year BUT last night it got very warm.

 

[Dave7]

Oh BTW.........
look wat I av just bought.

Guess what I will be doing this afternoon?
Now, where did I put my budgie smugglers

Good day. It's going to be a beautiful day. I too went to bed at 9.30 as Mrs P was watching yet more friggin' Endeavour. It was snooze on the couch or sleep in bed. Slept till 5.00am.

My cough seems to have gone. Excellent. A bit frustrated as I was supposed to ride C2C today but being poorly last weekend I had to pull out - other people's logistics etc.

I'll do some allotment work, mainly harvesting blackcurrants. I need to prepare for leek planting but it will be too hot to risk stressing the plants by actually putting them in.

I've had a brew so now it's snooze time.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Good morning all, another day of blazing sun awaits. Not much sleep last night, far too warm.
If a rebellion succeeds in overthrowing the established order, then surely attempts to restore it are more resistance than rebellion ? Yes I’m still talking James VII and his Catholic heirs.

Errrrrrr........two questions.

Why?
Is that a rifle butt in the top right corner?

Why?... mainly because MrsD cannot walk anywhere so , for 13 quid, it should give us some fun . Plus daughter and SiL are coming round for a BBQ on Tuesday.

Yes. .......that is indeed the butt of my rife

 

[welsh dragon]

Cooeee. I decided to get up after ceiling watching for oodles of time.

Going to be another hot one peeps. 2 deg at least hotter than yesterday i fear.

Stay safe peeps.
