The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

You've done the whole of Welshland?

I just noticed it and changed it. Smart arse

Good morning, it's bright and breezy, sadly I can't say the same about your correspondent. Shocking sleep. Bed at 10ish, woke at 2.00am, read till perhaps 4.30, tossed and turned and fitful sleep till 7.45.........................I may doze later.

I have a small white wash on the go, this is mainly to try and rescue some white things which went in with the coloureds three days ago and came out a tasteful shade of pinky orange. I have soaked them for three days, looking better so hope this wash will solve the problem! Time to feed the guinea pigs, yes there are still three live ones, then a mountain of ironing before I go to the allotment to harvest more of nature's bounty.

I was invited to go to north Wales today for a very serious bike ride. Glad I declined as I'd have felt awful at the end and after last night's sleep even worse at the beginning!!!!

There are washer sheets that you can buy to take up the colour that might run. Might be useful.

My granny had one of those. I remember nipping my fingers in it.

PS....................if you're tempted to watch Sandman on Netflix. DON'T!!!! Mrs P treated us to the first two episodes last night. Absolute shite, there's another eight to go which I know she'll watch.

I have a new hobby, sticking red hot needles in my eyes.

Ooooooo, thanks. I'll see if I can get those before the lady of the house finds out what has happened. I have indulged in secret soaking so far...................you know how it is.

New series of Van Der Valk starting on telly tonight. Hoping it's decent.

Do they recognise you on the phone, though?

One does.

We had one when I was a boy, I remember the cat getting its tail stuck in it.

Are you sure you didn't put it in?

Here you go. Don't know how good they are or if they will work once the colour has been in it for a while, but have a look.

Van der Valk replaces Murder in Provence. I watched the first one last night. Another pile of s***e
A good cast but a really poor storyline and script which obviously didn't inspire the actors to do anything near there best work.

Morning again. My little bimble ended up being 37 miles so quite happy with that even although the back was niggling a bit. I think pushing into a headwind on the way out didn't help so I was glad of a tailwind back home. Just up through Comrie, St Fillans and along the side of Loch Earn to Lochearnhead and back again. The wind was making the loch quite choppy so the yachts were all bobbing about.

Looking forward to my porridge now.

Well done Mo

I'm watching the womens road race at the moment and trying to stay awake.
This is not very exciting.
