The Retirement Thread

Water butts now full. Gone from bone dry to 800kg of water in less than 90 minutes.

Ooh, that was a big and close thundery boom!

Mrs @BoldonLad's Alzheimers symptoms are advancing, slowly, but surely. Although she is physically very fit (more fit than me!) she cannot reliably deal with remembering how to operate gears, brakes, and, deal with traffic, so, our cycling outings have been at an end for over a year now.

I slip out for a quick solo ride, either early in the morning, but, our sociable daytime rides, with coffee, cake and a laugh, have come to an end.

Last week, I bought a Hase Pino Steps, semi-recumbent tandem. I did take Mrs @BoldonLad along with me, and, we had a "trial run", before buying. Today, we had our first outing in our home area, doing part of a route which Mrs @BoldonLad is familiar with. We only did a little over 7 miles, but, I am pleased to say, it all went smoothly, and, Mrs @BoldonLad is a convert. I think we should be able to resume "coffee and cake rides" in the near future 😂

That's a bitter/sweet post.

What a ****ard life can be as we write our final few chapters!

Good to hear that you are making the most of the situation and long may you enjoy your semi-recumbent tandem. 😍

Sometimes think it would be nice if we could live our lives in reverse!

Ah, but maybe if we kept the memories of the mistakes we made when we were younger. It would be amazing.

Just nipped around the Co-op, it was dry when I started out. When I came out the shop it had just started raining, by the time I got home I was soaked right down to the skin. It's only 200m away.

We've had a couple of spots of rain, but that's all. The forecast is still for heavy rain and thunder.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. 👍 Apparently I share my day with the Dalai Lama.........he's even older.......
