The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Morning all

A bit damp and misty here - Dunkery Beacon is shrouded in mist. Forecast to clear later.
Off down to Minehead first thing to fill the car up, get shopping from LIDL, pick up a 6kg bottle of propane and drop in for coffee at our mates house.
Walking doggie on North Hill after that and then a spot of lunch in Porlock.

I have foolishly agreed to a shopping trip to Newcastle today, with Mrs @BoldonLad.

I am really excited about it

Hello people. Bright, sunny and dry and your correspondent feels very motivated........not sure why as his body is screaming after 74 gravel miles yesterday.

Anyway. I have to visit the plebotomist at 9.30. After which it's a busy day on the allotment and serious bike cleaning. My poor Kinesis needs a good wash, polish, lube and a hug.

Well ridiculous as it may sound in this day and age of online everything getting hold of any of those is going to be tricky.

NHS battery book?????? In 2021!

Oh well I shall have a look around in a quiet moment.

I thought that read, my knee needs a good wash.

I find the kettles limping this morning, it looks like the switch is on its way out, a generous squirt of GT85 didn't help things a lot.

It will make the water taste funny

Well think about it. The one's who'll be claiming under that will be the ones more used to paper documents.
And, as it's for a concession card, it's no different to any other in terms of proof required. Even a passport requires a copy of a paper birth certificate.

After yesterday's ride it probably still does! 😄

Mr WD has been cleaning the chimney out and I have been the labourer pulling on the string to pull the brush down inside it to clear the ash

A woman's work is never done.

Good morning from a damp and drizzly Barnet.
The dog has been out, breakfast consumed and domestics done.
If the weather brightens up, which it should I will be out and about on Le Velo

Buenos días amigos...I've been sweating buckets, the last 3 mornings I've been doing a 65 minute spin session in the man cave going around The Sella Ronda cycle route. fabulous scenery and some serious hills, pump up the resistance to make it real like. I'm sure thunder thighs PaulSB would like to do for real

@pawl Best wishes to Mrs Pawl, hope her recovery goes well
