The Retirement Thread

Just had the 'Small portion' .........

It is 11:40 and I am struggling to get out of bed - as usual, I am more tired than when I went to sleep.

I had intended to turn the light off at 04:30 but my phone crashed when I was trying to set the alarm and it was a deeper crash than ever before. Normally, holding down the power button gets it started again but this time it took me about 30 minutes to revive the device and the reset caused it to lose many of its settings. (I still haven't got the Wi-Fi set up on it because the password is downstairs and I am still in bed. I am using my tablet instead.)

It is a lovely sunny day but I bet that it is really chilly outdoors. I need to buy 2 or 3 things from Aldi and should do my hilly loop to go there but I am not sure that I can be bothered when feeling like this.

If I don't normalise my sleep pattern soon then I am in danger of starting to get up at sunset, eat breakfast at 5 pm, and my evening meal at midnight!

Wrong thread I think, Mundane News thread that way 👉

Do you have a printer as I have two, an Epson and a Canon, the latter does not fire just in case you ask

Bonjour. Quite cold today because of the wind. I went to see my grandson play rugby this morning, they won 22-17. When I got home, I watched the highlights of France-All Black and was delighted with the result 40-25. Not often New Zealand loose two games in a row so well done Ireland and France.
Nothing special planned for the rest of the day. Yesterday, I adjusted the gears on my Allez and all is well now. Possible ride tomorrow or the day after, depending on the weather.

Not even in your pen!

I'll be off up the club for 1500hrs. Theres a band playing, and we're playing there in 2 weeks and I want to see how they set up. Of course, a Guinness or three may be required to help me blend in.

If its for medicinal purposes I think 3 pints is quite reasonable.

Or... Forgotten the number for the combination lock!

Mind you, the cable looked so flimsy that you could almost bite through it...

Either they found the scrap of paper with the number on, or they found a pair of nail scissors and cut through the cable - it isn't there now!

It may have escaped your attention, but 99% of the posts in THIS thread are also mundane!

The reason I quit those other similar threads is because people insisted on continuing to post spoilers about pro cycling races. Oh, er, hang on...

Sharpened ones!

Good afternoon all. The sun is just going down, so darkness will be with us soon.
It's been a busy day, dog walking, a bit of vegetable shopping for a last minute change of plan for dinner, and then out in the garden clearing up last nights deluge of fallen leaves. They are very late this year possibly because of the unseasonaly warm weather.
My old Falcon also got a bit of TLC as it's going to get a run out tomorrow morning.
Spurs v Leeds on the radio at 4.30, so that just about takes up the day.

It's going to be a cold one tonight
