The Retirement Thread

Bin lorry seems to be running late today. Usually here by now. Maybe broken down again.

Getting bored with my usual 2 hour steady rides, getting slower and slower and the bike is getting dirtier and dirtier. So this week I’ve dug out the rollers and have done a couple of sessions on the patio. Enjoying getting a nice zippy work out and without getting the bike dirty

Roofer has fixed our ridge tile. Done a good job and only charged us 40 quid.
I was expecting a lot more than that.

That IS cheap. You don't get many jobs done for £40 these days, and especially ones that most people wouldn't be able to tackle themselves.

I've got five cards now

4 more than me, but 5 more than I have sent!

Mr WD came in sweating. He was getting some wood for The fire when he saw a large brown thing in the middle of the field. His first thought was it's a rat. He went racing (well maybe not exactly racing) up the field and started stomping on said rat only to realise it was a large leaf.

I am thinking of trading him in for a newer model as this one seems to have developed a serious and unrepairable fault.

Impressed he believes he can run fast enough to catch a rat........

Was it in this thread that we saw the disappearing rat video?

Oh, @PaulSB - in case you didn't spot it earlier... You do cryptic crosswords, don't you? Would you explain this one to me:

Clue: If it's ready made, this will get me down! (5)

Answer (apparently): Reach.

Why!?

I have been trying to work out where that comes from but haven't spotted it. Any ideas?
