The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

I've been to the small local park with our granddaughter. There's one of those small circular roundabout things that looks like a large lifebelt on an inclined plane. I was forced to lie on it while she and a friend she'd made span it around 😮
When we got back I made macaroni cheese which came out rather well. I've just gone online to book my 5th Covid jab for Monday morning 💉💉💉💉💉 Unfortunately the only available slots were early morning, otherwise I'd have ambled down the road to recover in my favourite pub.

Quiet on here yesterday I see.

Just remember, paper £20 & £50 notes cease to be legal tender on the 19th of this month.
Spend 'em while you can!

Morning. I really meant to be up earlier to enjoy the peace and quiet usually found on a Sunday morning but must have nodded off again. I don’t really mind as I love the feeling of actually getting some sleep!

Quick cuppa and I’ll head out. Another quite cool start.

Coooooeeee. A co start here but it's bound to warm up later. I can see the sun shining.

Ridley is on tonight so that's the night TV viewing sorted.

Stay safe peeps.

Good morning from a misty Coventry.

Good morning folks,
Bright and sunny in coastal Dorset. I’m a bit knackered after yesterday’s activities followed by playing in the park with our granddaughter. I’’m planning to set the turbo trainer back up, we packed it away for the summer guests, I’ll need to check what subscriptions are available or free.
Have a peaceful day folks ☕️☀️👍

Good morning, when the day is dawning on a Lancashire Sunday morning....................doesn't have quite the same ring to it. My toe doesn't throb as much as it did last night. In a rather dozy state I had a quick look before bed and wished I hadn't. Sock back on and I'm now trying to summon up the courage to have another look.

Decided not to ride this morning and my buddy messaged to say he's had a really bad night's sleep and is staying home. Now I don't feel I've let him down. Today is going to be another doing day, mostly on the allotment and bike cleaning which is next. Just cleaned out my saddlebag and the assorted bits of crap essential emergency equipment I carry in there. Got soaked last week and everything was damp, gritty and generally horrid. Wrapped my pump in new cling film as well. People always ask why I do this? It's so it doesn't fill with water in a thunderstorm folks. Works!

Found a Terry's Chocolate Orange at the back of the cupboard yesterday. My No.1 priority is to go out and buy another one before Mrs P wakes and arrives downstairs. The evidence also needs disposing of.

Morning all

Can finally slob out a bit now after all of our house viewings have finished.
It's been driving MrsD barmy, having to keep putting everything away.
Sunday lunch booked at the Crown, West Down.
We're off to Watchet on Wednesday with a list of things to look at and ask about at the new house. Meeting up with our best mates in Watchet at lunchtime and staying in Minehead overnight.

Well yesterday was one to forget. It was my turn for upchucking . Any tiny thing I managed to eat came back to say hello.
I have just had a mug of peppermint tea in the hope it will settle things.
Golf is on tv.....thank goodness they haven't cancelled that.
