The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

I have been for a bimble this morning, the first one since June, I've ridden my Brinklow loop, 24 miles, I'm seriously unfit, I felt like I'd done century ride when I got in having only done 24 miles, Not a nice morning for a bike ride. warm,windy and grey with intermittent light showers, I had a bad start to the ride I punctured about five yards from the house and had to go back in to fix it, luckily it was the front which isn't too bad to change.

Salut. The kids have gone back now and peace is restored. Two of our daughters are on their way up to stay for the week end and keep my wife company when I go to France tomorrow. One of them is staying a few days.
Whilst walking Molly this morning, she caught a wasp in flight and got stung in her mouth in the process. Her lip is a bit swollen but we gave her some Piriton which should control it.

We went to town. Mr WD put his prescription in. We needed a bit more cash on case the farmer came with some more wood and Mr WD wanted fish and chips.

On the way back, the heavens opened and I could hardly see through the windscreen

No! It should have been you're mid wales, not your mis Wales.

Fair point - I only corrected one bit - didn't notice the other part!

Apparently the grandkids are arriving between 2 and 3 for a sleepover
was intending to make the 4th bedroom functional but it hasn;t happened - so the little one will have to sleep in the travel cot as usual rather than in the old single bed that is currently crammed into a cupboard in bits

no chance of another ride today as there are preparation needed!
roll on "start of term" - not something I often said when I was a teacher!

I had scrambled egg on toast. Mr WD had fish and chips.

Survived parkrun without coming a cropper. Felt quite nervous and made sure to keep to the centre of the trail. 38 minutes as I have lost a lot of fitness. Mrs Tenkaykev ran her 50th but a glitch means she's not showing in the results 🤔 I bought a cake to celebrate so we will eat it anyway.

Went out for an Indian meal last night and whilst the food was nice it wasn't a great experience.

It was too brightly lit (hate that) and it just didn't have that 'authentic' Indian restaurant ambience.

Apart from the lighting being too bright the modern wooden floors, 'granite' table tops and an Eiffel Tower picture didn't transport us to a faraway place. We didn't research the place well enough is our conclusion.

Call us old-fashioned if you wish...

Hope you are all enjoying your day thus far!

Just back from the hairdressers and nipped into the supermarket on the way home and bought a tub of Hagen-Dazs strawberry cheesecake ice cream. I am about to scoff the lot!

Feeling manky all day. Had a couple of naps.
No appetite but will force some beans on toast down later.
Hoping to feel better tomorrow!
