The Retirement Thread

Do I go for a ride or mow the lawns that are getting rather long.

If you don't mow the lawns you will regret it.
So go for a ride 😊

Good morning all.
Dog walking done.
This afternoon I am off to the Cambridge corn exchange with 4 other friends to see the Australian Pink Floyd.
I saw the originals once before back in the late 70's.
We have heard that this tribute band is endorsed by the originals and are very good. It will be a late night though, the last train home is at 2335,which means we won't get home until around 0100
Enjoy your day everyone

I've seen the originals twice, Knebworth and Earl's Court. At least I think the small figures half a mile away were them. No live large screens back then. And Pink Floyd so no improvising.

How many "bessies" can someone have.
I always thought you could only have one bessie.

I've got 4.
Don't do favouritism.

Was that the original originals or the original tribute

Just a thought, if a tribute band breaks up but some of the members continue, would that be a tributary?

It's the one where eleven grownups kick a bag of wind around a field....

And they get paid loads of money for it

Decided that given the weather forecast for the rest of the week the lawn won

 

[pawl]

You know the answer to the question.

Yep mowed the lawn

 

[pawl]

Get a ride on mower. Problem solved.

Unfortunately the lawns aren’t big enough for a ride on mower Plus the garden is split level.Four steps to negotiate

Got my car insurance renewal from Hastings @ 40 quid increase ......no reason, no explanation.
I just phoned them to say I could get it at the old price elsewhere.
5 minutes later they agreed to match what I told them.

Had a bloke coming round this lunchtime so, by the time I was up and awake and ready to go out, I had a limited amount of time for a ride

so only managed 10 miles - but several steep bits to make me feel better about it.

delay wasn;t helped by finding a chain ring bolt was loose - discovered the thread was knackered and had to find the spares and replace it

Not that impressed about the quality of bits and bobs that Raleigh used to make the bike - I have had 3 bolts break and be replaced by the LBS with stainless steel
and now I have replaced 3 out of 4 chain ring bolts due to broken threads

seems like they have skimped on the little bits - not so nice when you saddle flies off when you are sitting on it going uphill!!!

Blimey 5.15 and it was totally dark.

Busy day today, three machine loads done, one load on the clothes horse, both beds changed, down the cosy cafe for lunch and a bike ride done this morning, unfortunately our evening down the club has been rained off, its a 15, 20 minute walk to the bus stop and its piddling down, sitting in her wheelchair my Good lady would have got soaked, its a shame as its a a good chance to get out and socialise.
