The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

I'm trying, unsuccessfully so far, to talk myself into a short bimble before lunch.

Didn't fancy the roads so took the mountain bike, just for 7 miles. Enjoyed it, but was getting too warm so glad I wasn't going further.

Nearly lunch time I suppose. It'll just be the usual sandwich for me.

I need a few bits from Sainsburys, as as it's nice I'll go by trike

@Dirk £80 for a multi-tool? 😲 This is not the same thing as I have stuffed in my saddlebag???

Nope.
It's one of these - you'd have to have a big saddlebag!

I think I need a haircut, there was an old biddy sat on the chairs at the cash out at Sainsburys, she started waving at me, I looked around to see if it was anybody else, but it was me she wanted.
I went one and say are you OK, I'm fine she said, but I thought you were my daughter.
With the price of hair cuts these days it might be cheaper to buy a skirt.

Soft southerner me. 16⁰ is going to be great for a quite demanding walk. 👍 Shorts are tempting so I've compromised with zip off legs.

You have zip off legs ? 😂😂😀

Phew. Roasty toasty walk done. That’s 2 walks and a bimble. Hoping it’s eating into some of my excess lard Obviously a wealthy visitor at the distillery. Lovely Lamborghini

Thats been a pleasant day, helped my Good Lady into her wheelchair and pushed her round to the Cassilax cafe for a spot of lunch then pushed her down to the club to spend the afternoon having a drink, playing Bingo, and doing a bit of socialising, we didn't win anything but we had an enjoyable afternoon then caught the bus home. We had a cuppa and I had nap, I got the washing out, then put the curtains I'd washed and dried earlier back up and tightened up the loose curtain rail.

Oooo.........the noisy neighbours have stuck the roof box on their car. Here's hoping they're going away, even for a couple of days.

Just back a wander round to the supermarket. Yet again over £30 just for two little bags of shopping.

£30, how many bottles of wine was that?

This afternoon we had three Magpies chasing each other round our back garden, they were making a lot of noise and it ended with one Magpie hiding underneath our big fern while the other two were on top of the fence above it looking down, I stopped watching them then came back later and they had gone.

Think they’re doing a tractor run through the town for charity again. Can hear the engines from here and tooting horns.

Any little "Fergies" or Fordson Majors?
