The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

I know - Initially I thought the woodpecker was trying to expand the hole so it could use the box itself after the tits had abandoned it
but then I looked it up and was quite shocked!!!

Glad I didnt see any details - seeing a Sparrow Hawk eating a pigeon under the holly bush while the pigeon was still kicking its leg was enough!!!

This post was in my news feed this morning:

Pleasant snooze has been snoozed 💤 👌

I just read that in February there is to be a 3 day celebration. During those 3 days the man will always be right.
The dates are 29th, 30th and 31st.

Last commutes on saturday (posted here ; https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/your-ride-today.173254/page-2357#post-7573084).

And yesterday celebrated my retirement with a wander around Cambridge and the odd pint of Adnams Old Ale in the Cambridge Blue.

As you are learning, Retirement is hard work, but, somebody has to do it 😂

As it happent to have a mortar bomb and was wondering what to do with it this got me interested.
Google tells me thatvover 500 people per year manage to do this and are admitted to hospital.
Read on.......
Approximately 400 cases of rectally inserted foreign bodies requiring hospital removal occur annually in the UK, based on data from 2010–2019. Cases have been increasing, with nearly 518 removals reported in the final year of that study, mostly involving men (85.1%). These incidents cost the NHS over £338,00 annually.

Sometimes I think I am a perfectly normal person

Then I read something like this and realise that the "normal" point is not where I thought it was

My FB reminded me that I posted this 2 years ago.
Seems about right.

I was busy today.
Got up
Scratched my bum
Sat down
Had a kip
No one understands what I go through every day.

Ride ridden.
Almost bottled out as that easterly wind was brutal but really glad I did. Lovely dry roads. 28miles with 2500ft of climbing so a pretty hilly one.

WOW! We didn't expect that. Our forecast was 6/7mph winds. We got a blistering easterly. This was a bit of a problem. We rode to Ainsdale where one has to stop for fear of cycling into the sea. AInsdale is on the west coast. If one lives inland an easterly is a problem. 31 miles home into a headwind!! Much of our route was flat, across the Lancashire mosses. No hedges. No trees. No shelter. Still 67 miles in the bag.
