The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

Morning it's

Put some clothes on then!

That was an expensive shopping trip...I lost my Sigma bike computer

That's bad... Lost (fell off) or stolen (left on trike but not there when you came out of the shop)?

My neighbour started doing DIY at 08:30, which probably seems a reasonable time to you early birds, but I had only been asleep for about 4.5 hours so I wasn't pleased!

I was eventually dozing off again when my pal rang to say that she was coming over to Todmorden to do a few things. I got up and went to meet her. She had heard about a new community group forming in Tod so we went along to the college where it will be based to check out the plans. They are planning a power tool 'lending library', which could be very handy. They are going to do lots of things including bike maintenance and electronic repairs classes; I might offer to help out on some of them.

Oh, ha ha ha. HA HA HA!! Sorry, my childish sense of humour, but I just got an email from the group detailing what is happening when. Two of the sessions are labelled 'FAMILY MAKING'!!! (Teaching families how to make things...)

Sitting in Boscastle waiting for the Cobweb Inn to start doing food.
The weather is alternating between blimmin' hot and sunny, to cool and cloudy.

Might treat ourselves to a pasty.*

Man eats Cornish Pasties.

It was on when I left the garage, but a half a mile down the road is was gone, turned back, but could not see it.

Slight change of plans.
Decided on curry, rice and nan bread.
Still got my walk in. Part way thro I felt a strong arm drag me into the Millhouse for a glass of Too Hoots. ....it was very tasty and refreshing.

Enough of the arm, what was the pint like?

Very nice.
Never heard of it before but would definitely have it again.

Just watch out for that arm!

Job done, gravel shifted and my wife has made me home made rice pudding as a reward.

Pasty is the singular of pasties.

We have a trellis with a climbing rose.
It looked as though it had finished for the year but suddenly a number of buds appeared and flowered.
