The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

A very pleasant morning, hazy sunshine, coolish, not much wind. Enjoyed a fine little circuit of the country lanes this side of Linlithgow, saw lots of lambs
@Tenkaykev I hope Mrs T is enjoying her birthday as best as she can in the circumstances, at least she’s picked a nice day for it

We are having fish and mushy peas today.

Gorgeous day here.

I am glad to be alive and have every intention of living as long as I can to claim as much as I can in pension payments. I never feel like I don't want to be alive.

There is only 1 life that we get and I am going to make the most of it.

You might come back as a lamb!!

Thank you, just been for a socially distanced walk around the back streets of Porty. There’s a very good Tapas place on the High Street called Malvarosa, we’ve eaten there several times. They do an excellent vegetarian paella, you can have it as a takeaway, it comes in a traditional cast iron pan that they charge a deposit on to ensure you return it😎

Back down the dentist this morning, dressing on the site of the extraction, antibiotics prescribed and told to drink through a straw , I felt a right prat in the cafe drinking my coffee through a straw. I helped my good lady into her wheelchair for lunch in a favourite cafe then pushed her down to Morrisons to buy some bits and pieces for our eldest who's visiting for mothers day, very pleasant walking in the spring sunshine, though hard work pushing my Good Lady round.

A new take on EV's/e-bikes?

Happy birthday, Mrs Tenkay. Hope you feel better soon.
Lots of boring crap to do today but it is a beautiful day outside. Some days it is a privilege to live here.
BTW, my grandad used to say how easily bored you are is an indication of your intelligence. I always wondered if that meant stupid people are bored easily or take wonder in everything?
Be safe and well.

57 miles done today, first ride in shorts as opposed to tights this year. Wind was not as calm as Google Weather told me / lied to me / make it up as they go!

Masses of security at the Oil Refineries in Ellesmere Port, had the private road, which you can normally cycle down, closed with guards everywhere. Had to turn back and use another route.

Don't know if they were expecting "green" protestors or Russians!!

Maybe they recognised you from on here and with a Russian Spy sounding user name you weren't in with a chance of getting through. 😁😁😁

A lovely sunny afternoon here.
I got the chairs out in the garden and MrsD managed to get down there. We had 2 very pleasant hours in the sun.

Just had our latest pension increase. Between us we receive approx £400 per week.
Now, we paid in all our (50 years) working life so feel entitled but it does help.......particularly as our leci and gas has just doubled.

MrsD gets her state pension next month.
Just as well as she's just found a new handbag shop.
