Good morning all fellow wheezers.
Nice and sunny outside
Out with the dog and MrsP for a long walk through the woods this morning.
This evening I am meeting up with the Old codgers from work. Another recently retired train driver is joining up and we are meeting up for a meal and a couple of drinks.

This is the pensioners thread you know......
We always speak to fellow walkers and when cycling speak, nod, smile, wave as seems appropriate to fellow cyclists. If we are gravel/trail riding we always acknowledge walkers and sometimes will when road riding if it's appropriate to.While I was out this morning there a a few cyclists about.Most would give a nod or a wave.However there appears to be few who if you give them wave they give a look that seems to be what the f****is he waving at.
Are these the new breed of cyclists most riding high end bikes.I suppose those of us on here of more mature years are just more friendly
Every driver who treats us with respect gets a smile, wave or thumbs up.
Life's too short.

Good morning. It is the most glorious fresh and sunny day. Must have rained overnight but I slept soundly for 9 hours and heard nothing. Morning weigh-in at 72.3kg, calorie counting rules! Yeah! Pleased with this.
Not sure why I haven't bobbed in the last couple of days. I seem to have been busy but can't remember with what. We did have a VERY grouchy small person visit yesterday. 🥺
I have a committee meeting this morning, coffee with injured cycling buddies at lunch and must pop down to my LBS. Tomatoes need feeding and tieing-in, possibly some side shooting to do.

And finally..........thank the Lord they say.........we had wonderful light in the village yesterday evening. This pic captures does it some justice but not enough.
Good morning folks,
A good nights sleep, Mrs Tenkaykev got up, emptied the dishwasher and made the coffee before I’d woken. There’s a parcel arriving today, when we were at our daughters in Leeds on Monday we didn’t fancy carrying too much luggage so we put all the excess into a cardboard box ( 10kg! ) daughter sent it yesterday, it’s on next day delivery and will arrive today. It’s been a revelation when visiting family, we always travel by train, so send the bulk of the stuff on an overnight delivery and do the reverse on our way home. That way there’s no heavy cases to lug between London stations.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Wow - that's what I call service.
I sent the circuit board, off the fire in the caravan, to be repaired. Dropped in the post on Monday afternoon, received repaired unit back this morning!
Just brought the van back home as it's easier to work on here than at the storage yard.
Had lunch and now I'm going to dive into the van and reassemble the fire.
Wish me luck.

I’m inclined not to notice mine as it’s lumped in with the council tax.
