The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Reset the tyre pressures on Mrs D's motor. The on board comouter thing is really sensitive andnI think the cold had caused half a bar drop in pressure and had upset it.

I've been wearing them around the house. Initial impression: The website recommends going up half a size from your usual size. I have on very wide and short foot and one " normal " foot. I usually go for a 9 - 91/2 to fit my normal foot so upsized to a 10. With the Inov8 wide fitting I feel that I needn't have upsized. The rear heel box could to with being a bit snugger, they seem to have made that part of the show wider too.
Overall a very good and grippy shoe. Got them in the " Black Friday " sale. I signed up for the newsletter which gave you a 10% discount, the small print saying that it only applied to full price items. I tried it anyway and it did indeed work.
EDIT:
Imelda Marcos Mrs TKK is really pleased with hers, she went for the ladies wide fitting and she says she will be looking to wide fittings on further shoe purchases.

Interesting you say that. I have since read reviews from others who say the same and found the heel awkward and loose no matter how tight they laced them.

It means you can't go out after dark.😁

Talking of tyres. When I was on the way to the metropolis on Monday an amber light it up. I has no idea what it was so of course I ignored it until I parked in Aldi. Found out it was tyre pressure. They looked OK. Google said I would be safe unless the light started to flash, then my tyres could blow up.

When I got home Mr WD checked the pressure. The back offside tyre was down by 1.5lbs. Wow Scary or what 😆

The bins twin brother is here, and of course he wanted food as well. He was just back from Leicester. He had an interview for the fire service that way

I wish him all the best.
My grandson has tried in multiple areas but they all have many years waiting lists.

He has my upmost sympathies, at least he managed to get away.

Well I have to admit that my thong is very small. Not bad considering I got it from a charity shop but still small.
TBH I did question why it was so small and the girl told me it was originally made by a company in Chorley and caters for the locals

Yeah, it's very tricky finding XXXL in our local shops.......sometimes I have to go to Manchester........

I thought that tiktoks were those little minty sweeties 🤷‍♂️

Nah, those are tactics......

I popped out to the garden to get a couple of bay leaves for tea. That was just before 6.00. The frost was down and the grass crunchy underfoot.

A friend drove to Aberdeen today. He said snow conditions in the Borders were very bad. He's had to leave his car in a village five miles from his son's place. His son picked him up in the 4 x 4.

More snow is forecast.
