The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

No one else daft enough to be up yet ?
I made an error yesterday. I got very tired early evening and instead of dozing in a chair I went to bed.........been awake since 0330.
My Bro and SiL coming this afternoon. The Chinese takeaway is open so that is what is on the menu.

I don't think you'll manage to finish an entire takeaway. Can you get a couple of doggy bags each to take some of it home?

Oh yes.... I forgot to boast that I got wordle in 2 today .
I just chose a word I thought was never going to fit and BINGO....4 greens.

If you have you have to ask How much, you can't afford it.

Good morning people, I've been for an early bimble this morning, my Brinklow loop, 24 miles, lovely bright fresh morning, longs and a long sleeve jersey, but warming up nicely as the morning progressed, and with it being a Bank Holiday Monday it was very quiet which made the ride even more enjoyable. They've been having a Scarecrow Festival in the village so the ride through the village was interesting with all the scarecrows dotted about.

Hope any pedestrians were more cautious than one particular lady viewing the Scarecrow in Desford She appeared. from between parked cars without checking the road was clear pushing a baby buggy Luckily I was riding very slowly and was able to brake A street narrowed by cars parked both sides of the road you push a child buggy out before making certain the road is clear.Really



I always recall in road situations like that the words of my advanced motor cycle instructor He always revered to them as suicide alley.

Imagine trying to heat it!

Goosnargh must feature on there somewhere.

After crossing the M6 you can see the route kinks 90⁰ left - that's Goosnargh. The route follows Church Lane passing the village green and The Grapes, both on the left.

Well hello. Just me? Quick Paul, think of something interesting to say, grab their attention while you can. Hmmmmm..................the problem with turning electrical appliances off at the plug is this. Every time I sit down to watch a bit of telly I find myself thinking "why isn't the remote working?" until it dawns on me.....................

Speaking of dawn it looks as though we have another good weather day on the horizon which is just as well as small person is here later and she loves to be outside. We will have to go looking for cats. She's obsessed with cats. Lives with three and you'd think it would be a relief to get away from them but no. Our village is full of cats, can't move for them and can we ever find one on a Tuesday? No, we can't. If ever we do it won't want to be petted!!!

There that was interesting. Thank you Paul for keeping us entertained with our coffee/tea.

I have email to catch up on. See ya later.......
