The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Lunch O'clock.

I had no breckie today as, for some reason, just didn't fancy eating. Shared a bowl of chips in the pub so am getting rather hungry now.
I might have an early curry.

Cracking last ride of the year. 35 miles with 2600ft climbing. Sunshine, no wind and dry roads.

 

[Oldhippy]

It was sunny on my ride out but goodness it was cold on the fingers and toes.

 

[Chief Broom]

Managed a ride today before the snow arrives and it was quite a workout....battled a strong headwind which on higher ground buffeted me all over the place, did feel invigorating though in a masochistic kind of way.. scooted back home on the A9 as it was a tail wind
* and still havent seen another cyclist!

They are selling them as a special in Lidl this week. I'm sure they are a good thing but I can't see myself wrapped up in one.

Mrs P has one. They're magic.

Granddad is nackered. The Enormous Crocodile was very good, all the kids loved it. The Lowry also had a children's cut and paste craft room and storying telling area. We listened to Angelica Sprocket's Pockets, brilliantly done. Lunch out and home.

Very relieved we went this morning. There must have been a hundred vehicles queuing for the multi-story. I imagine many frustrated parents and cross children.

We have tea, biscuits and the Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe on the telly. Granddad is going to snooze..........zzźzzzzz

My grandchildren are all in thier 20s so they all help granddad now. The granddaughter needs prodding and things takes days whereas the grandson is more proactive. Both good "kids" though.

I've given in. Heating now on.

Bit of a bonus this afternoon. 2 hours of Sounds of The Sixties on R2 .
Coming to an end shortly.
I do enjoy 60s music. My new smart speaker is great in that respect.

Mine also. I refuse to sit here feeling cold.
Now if that Welsh woman would visit and bring her new electric blanket i could get really snug.

Riverside trail walked. A bit too busy for me but quite pleasant. It’s got much milder than it was earlier.

Stand up, be a man......................, and, go to the Garden Centre 😂

Look on the bright side

Garden Centres often have a cafe!

Just been reading the Echo

Apparently, a man has been on the roof of a building near Prescot Town Hall - where my wife comes from

no word of what he wants or why he is up there

but he has been there for over 14 hours

YEA GODS!!! - he must be freezing!!

I knew someone would comment on it
