The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. Another overcast but mild one here. I got myself out for a gentle 19 miles on the hybrid while the roads are quiet. Off for a bath.

Well I did get another couple of hours kip which is good. Thought I'd pop in while having my coffee.

To the surprise of the whole club membership bar the six involved yesterday was a big red letter day for my club. We had four women racing in the club colours. Huge achievement and very proud of them. 👏

Good morning all.
It looks like being another nice day.
After yesterday's busy day, my legs are a bit stiff this morning.
Today will be quite different. A bit of gardening, followed by a short bike ride, and then an armchair ride while I watch Paris Roubaix on the telly box.
No roast dinner for us today, but a large brunch, sausages, bacon, black pudding, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and bubble and squeak and toast. With a pot of tea to wash it down.
That should keep us going for the rest of the day.
Enjoy your day everyone

Morning folks my tomato plants are complaining about there accomodation....no heated greenhouse and theyre shivering in their pots ive sowed some more just in case they start to look ill. Hardy annual flowers are doing well so will have a splash of colour with chrysanthemums/cornflowers/marigolds and like. Made another large n long planter for a south wall and sowing morning glory but wont be starting them until its much warmer and then they will romp up the wall When i lived in zummerzet i either made a wigwam or tied a string to a tree and they grew up that

A gorgeous sunny day here and really quite warm.

I have tidied the pantry. I have to keep on top of it otherwise Mr WD tends to just throw things in when we get back from shopping .

Just back from my jog. Managed to keep moving without taking a walking break. 6.5k, took a different, quieter route along the " Red Brick Road " which crosses Canford Heath nature reserve. It was originally " Lady Wimborne's Drive ", a road she had built to take her in her carriage from Wimborne to Poole without having to set eyes on the Pleb's 😮

Where do you keep your pants?

Yesterday was the first day since the end of September that I didn't need any heating on at all in the house. In fact it was so warm that I also had to remove the blanket from the top of my (mid-weight) duvet, and not wear bedsocks or a tee-shirt in bed.

I woke up too early again. I have been playing computer games and doing a crossword but it is time to get up. I want to finish the upgrade of my s(d?)inglespeed bike and get a test ride in. I have less time than I thought because my pal has announced that she is gracing me with her presence this evening - I reckon she thinks that I have bought her an Easter egg (I have). I will be cooking a veggie curry later.

She is not into pro cycling so I will watch the last 2 hours of Paris Roubaix after she has gone to bed. I enjoyed the 2nd edition of the women's PR yesterday.

I noticed that Prime video now has the final Daniel Craig Bond film free to members. They were charging a lot to view it last year when it was released. It is very long (about 2 hours 40 minutes) so I might split it over 2 evenings.

Action stations!

While I was growing up we had a walk in pantry, today they would call in a down stairs bedroom

Talk of Spring might be premature... Temperatures dropping back down again for at least a week after today!

Just think yourself lucky that Ester hasn’t set up a “Tomato Line”, or, maybe she has?

Only by a couple of degrees.

Are you saying Welsh Dragon isn't a real person?
