The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good morning from a rainy Amsterdam.
Back home today on the 13.47 from Amsterdam Centraal.
It gets back to St.Pancras at 17.00. Not bad going.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Neighbour along the road very kindly gave me a voucher for £100 for giving him my previous Garmin Fenix. Very kind of him and far too much but I have put it towards this so only costing me a fiver.

Morning. Much more cloud today. Not sure if the sun will make it through today. Seems less breezy though so nice enough.

I enjoyed Grace last night. Little bits of the book were coming back to me as I watched it. Another one next Sunday. I have The Split tonight. I’ve resisted the temptation to binge watch and just wait for it coming on each week. Oh, and I will have to catch up on Gentleman Jack too as I missed it last night.

I can’t decide what to do exercise wise today. I was on the feet a lot yesterday so I should really try and get out for a spin today.

There's too much wrong with that. Granted, it's based on "decoded diaries"* which the author of modern day book has managed to "decode". But a sieve has fewer holes than it.

Her father was a miner, as was his father before him. She being born not too far from where the Brontes were.

Local council were all for buying what remained of one of her buildings and returning it to its former use. Run of course by the council. Led me to asking if they were being serious about it. The council owning and running a casino and brothel within sight, at the time, of the Town Hall.

*The Brontes used a similar code, but theirs remains unbroken.

Give and ye shall receive...
£105!! That should last a lifetime at that price.

I wouldn't have paid full price for it at that price, but it looks quite versatile. Good for running on a cooler morning on its own, or for layering under something when it's cold.

I wouldn't have paid £105 either.

No more fleeces required by you then.

What's with that damn wind? 11 degrees here, but feels like 9 with windchill and the forecast is saying not much change until May!

I was going to nip out on my bike before my parcel is due to arrive but I think I will walk instead.

If the parcel comes early enough maybe I will wrap up for an evening ride.
