The Retirement Thread

Good morning, world.

It's a bright but chilly 1 degree on Planet Thanet today.

Today I will mainly be doing shopping: judging by the length of the list, we must be running low on practically everything.

Stay safe, everyone and have a good day.

Good morning all, a bright and breezy 7° here.

Morning folks [smiley] i really hoping the wind isnt too bad today. I cant be doing with rides that are ninety per cent grimace....
Re-Cuckoo's! April is when i start to hear them and being half cuckoo myself i like to imitate their call! Often ive gotten a response and the bird will come and investigate. The cuckoo in pic below did!

Enjoyed that First time round Laggan Hill this year. It was muddy but I expected it so wore nobbly trail shoes so got a decent grip.

Some amount of storm damage been cleared up there. Peeps were saying there were around 40 trees down and I thought they were maybe exaggerating but seemed a pretty good estimate judging by the amount of chopped up timber lying at the side.

Update on my post of a few days ago when I mentioned having heard a Cuckoo while out on my run. I didn’t hear a Cuckoo, I think I might be losing the plot as what I heard was a Woodpecker 😮🙁
Don’t know how I managed to conflate the two, it’s probably an age thing 😁

Oh dear...........I fail to see much comparison between them either Even a pigeon might sound more like a Cuckoo! Lol

@PaulSB I see that Harvey Elliot is a guest at your game on Monday evening. He will be on the pitch before kick off.

Billy Elliot's younger brother?

Morning all...I don't know why but the last couple of weeks I've not been waking up until at least 9am. Not complaining but when the better weather comes I'd like to get up earlier to make the most of it.

If my dodgy knee allows it there's an evening Brompton ride today which I'd like to do, and do a bit of night photography as well.

I've been for a bimble this morning, Stoneleigh, 26 miles, a ride that didn't go according to plan, I was going to do part of my Weston Under Wetherley route in reverse then stick an extra loop on the end to take me though Stoneleigh and home., I got out to Weston Under Wetherley and the road through to Cubington was closed, HS2 work, so I had to retrace my route back to the Leamington rd, turn left and ride a short distance on the Leamington road then turn right to get back on route. It was an early start, out by eight o clock, cold, murky at first but dry with no frost or ice and quiet roads. A good couple of hours out riding, I'm still very slow bur I'll have to put up with that for now, I enjoyed the ride.
