The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

I purchased a bamboo running top and wasn't impressed as it got heavy and clingy as the sweat built up, something that the usual synthetic ones didn't do.

I feel synthetic materials make far better technical clothing than natural ones.

I noticed that my Merino wool base layer after todays sweatish ride smelt of damp sheep.

It does of course raise the inevitable question of how do you know what damp sheep smell like!

I’ve smelt the front of a few folk on here’s tops on a wet day in sheep country.🫣

Dogs to the garden centre for lunch.

Spent much of the afternoon working on my next OU assignment. I only scored 84% on my first assignment, and I'm determined to improve upon that. If I dont get a double first this time I'll be mightily pithed.

How is Bruce's limp?

Evening folks this weather is getting to be a drag... soggy all day here in Brora and nowt much to do did go for a stroll along the beach and on my return noticed a large cherry tree had dropped all its leaves so went and got my wheelbarrow and added them to my compost....so that was my exciting day!

How is Bruce's limp?

Its disappeared already, so presumably nothing torn or broken.

Its probably just a sprain or suchlike, butnp it keeps recurring. At 4 hes far from ancient so im hoping a week of short then gradually longer walks will fix it before slowly reintroducing his ball.

He absolutely loves his ball so would be devastated if he couldn't have it any more, but ifmits a persistent issue I would do that. Labs can be prone to joint problems and the like so if it proves to be a persistent issue id do that, grudgingly, to reduce the risk of more serious problems in later life. But I'll see how we get on going gently again and building back up.

Always beware of a man with sheep sh!t on the front of his trousers.
