The Retirement Thread

Well that was some night at the Irish club. The REM tribute band was truly amazing.
0200 when I crawled into bed.
Now you would think that entitled me to a good lie in but the gods of duvets said otherwise and it was 0600 when they made me get up.

It was the rain gods having a laugh with me as usual. It was dull but dry when I first got up and had my usual cuppa and browse. Out the door for my walk and literally within seconds the rain started and got heavier all the way round my walk, only for it to ease when I was almost home. I need to find some way to outsmart them. Maybe a disguise or something

Good day. Bright and very breezy, 20+ gusting to 30 I reckon. Heavy rain forecast from 10.00. Another diabolical night. Bed for 10.00pm, wide awake 1.00am till 5.30ish then a couple of fitfull hours sleep. 😩

The club had to cancel our annual track race day due to weather forecast. I also cancelled the slowest of our Saturday rides for the same reason.

Another coffee, stretches, breakfast and then allotment time till the rain comes.

Out tonight to friends to eat followed by Canasta. I'll need to sleep first, probably through the Ladies' singles final.

Good morning all
Plan to go out for a walk later on if the weather is okay.
It's nearly five weeks since my Inguinal hernia op and i'm still going to give it a few weeks until i try to venture out on the bike.
We are going out later on to my sons house to look after our three grandsons.
I hope everyone has a good weekend.

Right - off to Little Moreton Hall today with the annoying Grand-daughter (who stayed overnight last night)

it is good for her to get away from her 2 brothers - who are quite a bit younger than her - for a little bit - also gives her parents a bit of a rest

so - we are doing the cultural bits - as her Mum and Nan keep her well up with things like shopping and stuff which we do'nt do so much of!

anyway - no cycling today from the look of it!

I have belatedly risen!

Playing a gig tonight, won't be home until the small hours so permitted myself a rare lay in with the delicious Mrs D.

Managed to get my rear lawns cut and the caravan washed before the heavens opened.
Now sat on our verandah with a cup of tea, watching the birdies feeding.

Heinz? I enjoy a bowl of tomato soup and bread too. Haven't had it for a while.

Sunshine and showers with a strong breeze, it started pissing down when we were getting on the bus to the cafe, by the time we'd got to our stop it had stopped and now the suns out.

Yup, just happened here too. Was starting to feel too warm in the conservatory and then the heavens opened
