The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning folks Im busy in the garden today, i made a big planter for a climbing rose as the soil close to the house is rubble/foundations. Still i did manage to excavate and put in some compost-the rose has about 22" depth in the box and 18" of soil below-should be sufficient.

You need to build a shed now for the bike!

To be fair, although not a spy, my user name is a Russian footballer from the 60's

Well a spy would say that, they wouldn't admit to being a spy. I smell something fishy.

You haven't posted piccies of your new place yet.
How does it compare to your old 'shed'?

Weekly shopping to do and then we are off for a small picnic.

Have a good day everyone.

Slow cooked ribs are smelling very nice. I have given them till 1400 so they fall off the bone.

I’m no longer able to attach images to my posts. I follow the usual procedure and click on the “ attach files “ button. This takes me to the “ Photo Library/take photo / files “ button, I can select a photo but then nothing happens, no upload progress that I previously saw.

Isn't that a photo attachment?

I think I am starting to feel the need of an e-bike Not long back a 20 mile bimble but it's just such hard work now.

Surprised the thread you started @Chislenko hasn't been shut down. It's gone downhill a bit like so many used to do in here.

Yes! Strange that the normal “ photo / thumbnail “ dialogue and progress bar weren’t showing, nor any indication that the photo had been chosen for upload. I’d rebooted my phone to no avail, but I’ve just cleared caches and all website data in Safari and that has sorted it out 👍

Where is everyone ??
Busy morning here.
Dishwasher to empty
Tumble drier to empty.
Then........
I am putting ribs on to slow cook. If the fit I will use the slow cooker, otherwise a low heat in the oven.
I will report back later

Before or after eating them?

Different scenario, but my trike is heavy and I found that I was very slow on hills, which is not unusual
with trikes I found the backs of my legs would ache after long rides so I bought a motor, that was the best thing I ever did, it is there if I want it just to push me along.
On the flat and going faster than 15.5 mph the motor is not being used so you are still getting the exercise, OK maybe not as much, but it's still a work out.

@Dirk, there's a C-130J to the north of you, 28,000 feet up.

Well I got off my bum and went for a bimble. First of the year. It's scorchio here.
