The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. A damp and dismal start here. Having eaten far too much yesterday and loafed about in the afternoon, I must get out soon for a decent walk rain or no rain.

Happy with a 4 in Wordle this morning. Don’t some people like to complain for the sake of it in here some days re the spoiler. Still baffled

Wet here also Mo.
A nice chill day ahead with sport on tv.

Morning all, bright and sunny here.
Uncle Ernie has stumped up 4 x £25 prizes this month
Now listening to Tony Blackbum on the radio, and drinking the first mug of tea.
Sainsbury's are delivering a few things between 10.00 and 11.00, so I will get the dog walked before then .
More armchair TDF today.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Morning again. I should have held off going out as the rain is now off. Never mind, it's looking more promising for the next couple of weeks if I can believe the BBC weather forecast.

Morning all , raining here too.
BBC weather forecast is pants . As a sailor I’ve tried most of the weather sites and in my view the Met Office one is still the best . 😀

Morning all

A few things to do this morning, then hitching up at lunchtime and towing up on to Exmoor.
Nothing on the PBs for us.....again!

Good morning folks, I've been for an early bimble, out the house at half seven, rode my Brinklow loop and covered 24 miles, the rain started as I was riding past Coombe Abbey having already turned for home, I donned my rain jacket and carried on, as I turned into Nunts Lane a couple of roads from home the rain stopped, I got home looking like a drowned rat. I didn't quite step off the bike and into the shower, I had to get the papers and help my Good Lady with the commode first, but I would have if I could. Up until the rain arrived I was enjoying my self, it was my first ride in a fortnight and I was starting to miss my cycling.

Same problem here. It's rained all night and was still raining 15 minutes before set off time for the meet. Decided to stay home. Just checked the messenger group and everyone decided the same but delayed for 45 minutes by which time the sun was shining but I didn't see the messages!!! Beautiful morning here now and the forecast for next week is absolute PANTS!

My memories on facebook this morning,Lol

Hmmm.......well good morning though I'm not sure about the good. Dropped out of the club ride. See above. Now it's beautiful. Still I have jobs to do. Just finished building the new IKEA bathroom vanity unit ready for the plumber next week. No swearing involved. Discovered the joiner is coming next week to fit the last new double glazed window. Damned expensive windows for this house. Old cottage subject to an Article 4 direction which means the original windows can only be replaced with exact replicas. Every window is a different size so the frames have to be handmade in wood. £1000 for this one which is why we've done them slowly over the years. It's a swivel window as well otherwise it's impossible to clean from the outside.

Lots of other jobs on. Apply for Mrs P's pension and buy her extra years. Ironing - the one cheap task of the day. I'm on the club bar rota tonight and I guess I'll find loads more to do. For one thing British Gas owe me £20 as compensation for a complaint I made. Nothing has happened so now I can complain about the complaint.

Oh and no extra sprinkles from Ernie.
