The Retirement Thread

Oh joy squally drizzle morning folks absolutely no idea what im doing today....if my bolts arrive i can put my mudguards on and then go for a walk i suppose- at least the sea is always interesting in its different moods

Cue Classic to ask why you need mudguards on to go for a walk!

I used to work with a lady that called it mizzle. Cross between mist and drizzle I presume.

That is exactly what we've got here. It is hanging in the air like mist, just a few drops actually falling, but it is as heavy a drizzly mist as you could get without it actually raining. I got pretty damp in just a few minutes of cycling and felt chilled by it.

I had them on my Discovery. I wouldn't ride at this time of year without them now.


This is my current hybrid for winter/mucky roads.

Sounds about right

It's elevenses! I have coffee and biccies, ginger nuts if you would like to know Housework is going well and on target to finish at 12.45, then sandwich and out to card games group. I'll try to muscle in on Canasta this week. Now if you'll excuse me I have a small matter to attend to in a sub-forum.

I like to dunk ginger nuts in hot chocolate

Was kind of thinking that but left well alone!

Late night, finally got to sleep 4.30am.

Got up at 9.00am, not done much since apart from vetoing the 5-miler (walk) we had planned due to miserable damp weather. We hate walking when it is wet and are not a couple who get out regardless - life's too short for self-inflicted misery. No miles walked thus far this week

Off to ASDA instead for some essentials and then a gym session followed by more retirement dossing.

There are a lot bikes that look really good with full mudguards, without them they look like something is missing.

I tried Stevia once. God it was bloody awful

Well. Had a few cuppas now and I’m not sure I’m that keen. Sort of bitter aftertaste. I should really try and just take my drinks without any sugar/sweetener and hope the taste buds adapt.

I once read that ginger nuts should be dunked in very hot drinks.
The nurse in a&e was quite amused.
