The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good morning all, I had a restless sleep last night, and was awake by 4am.
The dog has been walked and breakfast, beans on toast, has been consumed.
I have had a bimble out on the bike to the grocers for some fruit and that is about that for today.
I shall be watching the Hundred cricket on the BBC this afternoon and evening. I have got into this format of cricket. It's cricket, but not as we know it.
Stay safe everyone

You mean you can stay awake watching it? I can't believe that.

Salut tout le monde. I believe the Vuelta is starting today. Will it be live on ITV4 or just the highlights tonight?

Football season (EPL) starts today - looking forward to it!

I don't think ITV4 are showing any of the Vuelta this year.
There will be a highlights programme on Quest I believe.

No pub lunch today, we picked up pasties and cakes from the local bakery, however we have been walking around Dulverton and it's gone very warm!
We fell into Wood's Bar as we were passing........just coz we we're thirsty, mind.

We're not impressed, my Good Lady managed to miss a hospital appointment earlier this year, we've just got the paperwork through to make a fresh appointment, first one available March 2023. we're hoping thats a mistake.

Hope it is to

ITV don't have the rights to it.

Yes - there is a highlights show every evening on Quest. It is on late tonight (11 pm) but most evenings it will be on at 7 pm.

A wonderful start already. Following last night’s game Brentford are currently head of the Premier league, and Arsenal are bottom 😁

WoW.....120 mile round trip to look at cycle luggage........you really are keen.

Restrap make fantastic kit so thought it worth the effort.

Left at 12.15 and got here at 2.00. The M62 is friggin' joke. It's only 60 miles!!

Well what a good day out. I got the piece of kit I've been lusting over for a couple of years. A 14 litre Restrap saddlebag reduced from £109.99 to £54.99!!!!
