The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Usual rubbish on tv for a Saturday night so watched a film on Amazon Prime. It was ok and passed a couple of hours.

Good morning. Can't remember the last time I was still sleeping at 05.45 but needed the alarm this morning.

Gravel sportive today. It seemed like a good plan at the time. 😄

Byeeeeeeee..........

Good morning all, dry and cool this morning, family round shortly, need to sort out my perennial sunflowers later, they've been blown all over the place the last couple of days and I can't get down the path.

Good morning all.
Dry here at the moment but a poor forecast, poor for the week tbh.
Its paperwork for me this morning. Sport on tv this afternoon.
Have a good day everyone.

From my facebook page this morning.

Lawyers should never ask a Georgia grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer.
In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand.
He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. “Yes, I know you”.
The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?'
She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.'
The defense attorney nearly died.
The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said,
'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair”.

Morning folks Got my 'Total Bike Maintenance' book by Mel Allwood delivered, seems pretty comprehensive. Would like to get some bikes from the local tip to take apart before i damage any of mine! Come the apocalypse i wonder what bikes will be surviving 10yrs down the line...probably something uncomplicated from 30yrs ago...
Weather looks ok for a spin [less grind] Still loving the Dawes which resides on a spare couch in the living room

Good morning all from our favourite holiday cottage in beautiful Speyside. Bright and chilly. Breakfasting with the company of several red squirrels.
Holiday tv watching has been transformed since we bought a chromecast dongle, now we just plug in and watch all the stuff we want from the internet. Yesterday evening was spent watching a magnificent first women’s Paris-Roubaix, truly outstanding.
Will have a little walk this morning then will settle down to the men’s race.

, Lol, I think I need a new keyboard, it misses letters every now and again, I've cleaned it out but its no different.

Morning. I went out for an early run and regretted it a bit. The legs just wouldn't co-operate so the heart rate and breathing were way up with the effort of just keeping going. That's the worst I've ever felt on a run. Hopefully just a blip or my running days will be over if I have many more like that.

Nice soak in the bath when I got back and just finished a big bowl of bran flakes and banana. Cuppa now.

I might watch some of the London Marathon.

 

[Dirk]

Morning all

Hammering down here.
Supposed to be clearing later.
Doggie walk first, then a stroll down to the Aggi for Sunday lunch.

Thank god I'm not British

Link no worky for me. I've seen the story about the bloke delivering a tanker load of liquid cement to a building site, by the time he'd got to the site he had got a train of 20 cars following him, all the drivers thought he was delivering fuel and were disappointed.
