The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good morning. First!! @Mo1959 must be on a long walk! Still very dark but just enough light to see a clear sky.

No real plans but the allotment needs some TLC and Kinesis badly needs cleaning.

Winter arrived early on Friday.....got my £200 Winter Fuel Payment.

Morning all... Second! Out early for The Friday's Ghost Ride which was cancelled a couple of weeks ago, Swains Lane here we come!

Morning all

Doggie walk first thing, then a stroll down to the village for the Remembrance parade. The lads and lassies from RMB Chivenor always have a good turnout.
Lunch is booked at the White Lion.

Near Okehampton. Out on the moors.

Chagford way?

Good morning folks, dark cold and still, the trees at the back of us are a lovely colour and are dropping leaves, my Good Lady is still asleep and the carers not here yet.

I have risen!

Remembrance Sunday today, so I'll be donning my whistle, slipping my beret on my head, affixing my medals, and marching to the war memorial for 2 minutes silence.

Good morning folks, coffee brewing, followed by short jog to loosen up. We’ll be wandering up the hill to the War Memorial for the remembrance day ceremony, always a good turnout and a few local road closures for the Parade. Nothing else planned, have a peaceful day folks ☕️

Morning. We have a calm start to the day. Think today is going to be an OK day weather wise.

Stay safe peeps

Paul......excuse my noseyness. I thought only single people got £200?
I get £100 as does MrsD.

He's right. I think it's to do with getting into the large muscle at the top of the thigh and base of the buttock.

Morning folks think i'll have a lazy day as im planning a super long ride tomorrow [for me anyway]. Over the hills and far away where theres no phone signal, hardly any traffic, one good thing is if i get a puncture its nice and peaceful and not as stressful as mending one alongside passing traffic.
Ive been musing on how the term 'road bike' has apparently been commandeered...surely it should be 'road racing bike' for that sector and 'road bike' for everything else that uses the road.....dont think i'll start a thread on it though could start WW3

I believe it's £200 per household. Mrs P didn't qualify till September when she hit 65. I guess next year it will be £100 each or still me with £200 as I qualified first.

Can I go first? 😂😂 Yep, you're right but I think the different descriptions of road bikes are valid.

I get the £200 but my Good Lady doesn't get any of it.
