The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Still no cycling mojo so a 5.2 mile walk done. Cold to start but the sun eventually broke through. Rain due this afternoon though.

I have put too much milk in my porridge this morning. It's more like gruel!

An offer I could easily resist in the co-op; £3 each, two for £6!

Lol. Bet some people will still buy 2 though.

I like the 3 mint one.

I'm out for a little bimble, currently having breakfast in Palmers garden centre in Ullesthorpe.

I cycled down to parkrun, sunny but chilly, Mrs Tenkaykev knocked a minute off last weeks time so she’s pleased with that. Just finished brunch, a hodge podge of veggie sausages, baked beans, spinach, fried tomato, toast and a couple of Halloumi burgers that needed using up.
Have a peaceful day folks ☕️👍😎☀️

Another couple of miles walk before lunch and before the rain arrives. It is clouding over now so maybe not far away.

Next door have disappeared so I am enjoying some peace and quiet without constant banging and dog barking......bliss!




.............and it's nearly here The ground and river are actually needing it.

I've been for a bimble in the spring sunshine, I haven't been far but I've done the longest ride I've done for sometime, I've ridden 35 miles out to Ullesthorpe and back, I've also had my first mid ride cafe stop for a while, Palmers Garden Centre, the ride wasn't really long enough to warrant a stop but I hadn't done one for a while and I don't know when I'll get another one so I stopped. Bike was running lovely, nice and smooth and quiet, the work I did a few weeks ago had improved things nicely. It was a beautiful morning for a bike ride, bright sunshine and little wind, I was out about half eight and it was decidedly chilly but when I came out of the cafe it had warmed up nicely and I was overdressed, but it was a cracking ride and I enjoyed that.

Not sure if it’s still there it sometime since I have visited Palmers.They use to have the old CTC winged wheel sign on the wall near the entrance.Thinking about it it may have been before Palmer’s took it over.

I vaguely remember the sign, I don't think its there now though, when palmers took over they doubled the size of the cafe.

Nipped across the road to the country store for lunch. Ham & Cheese sarnie on malted. Washed down with 3 cans of 'Above the Clouds' 6.2% IPA. Very nice.

Back to the van to sleep it off now.
