The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. Heavy rain all night and it’s still raining. I could do with getting the legs stretched and some fresh air though so I will stick the waterproof gear on and do the riverside trail.

Good morning all.
A cool rainy start to the here, the heating has kicked in but that could of been because MrsP has intervened and cranked it up.😮

Tis wet by the riverside, below and above.

Morning.
Another lovely day. Warming up here as well, around 24C and that's ideal for me when cycling. Still pretty warm going up a climb though!
Good news is although we're back home Thursday that's when UK weather picks up. Nice timing.

Banana Custard for brekkies as I had some custard left over from last nights Sticky Toffee pudding 🍮

Off to Minehead on the train this morning.
Doggie walking on the beach, then back to Watchet for lunch in the Star.
Still haven't got the Wisp running.
Reckon it needs an new carb.

Impressive miles/climbing, Binky: well beyond my capabilities 🤣

Rain?
Masses of hail here on Sunday:

Yesterday was “go look at a few cars” day….ended up agreeing a deal to replace my aging & (mostly) trusty XC60 with a Jag FPace. Must finally make me properly old: first Jag 🤣

Hopeful it will do us proud, although we were slightly sad giving up on our old one: bought from new almost 12 years ago 👀
As our daughter put it “aww, it had a good run” 🫣

Onwards & upwards…

Dont think I've ever even sat in a Jag apart from a mates old E type.

Wet and breezy here in East Cambs but the rain is needed so won't complain and the forecast is dryer for the tail end of the week.

Not much planned today and arms are a bit sore after the Vaccinations yesterday, also bit of a headache this morning.

May nip out to the shops if it's not too wet as we need some of the nice milk rolls from the nice bakery to take to the beer festival tomorrow.

Also may get my arse in gear and get sorted with listing the All-City frame and the Tern folder that I'm trying to sell.

Oh and will have chips today from the mobile van that comes on a Tuesday

Just seen a Kingfisher hurtle by on a low level fly past.

Morning all.
Yesterday was not a good day, I felt rough all day. Much better today.
Must shave and shower then might** do Mo, get my wet gear on and go for a stroll.
**I say might as the forecast shows lightning possible all morning.

A beautiful site, even if its brief

Very lucky here @Dave7 saw a Heron land a little earlier right across from the boat.

Good morning from a soggy Dorset. Mrs Tkk was feeling chilly so we put the fire on last night 😮. Walking group this morning and consultation with knee specialist for Mrs Tkk this afternoon.
Daughter and her chap are heading down from Edinburgh on Thursday, on their way to France. Typically their Camper Van is playing up with the fridge and lights not working, they've changed fuses but still no joy. The company that did the conversion is no longer in business 😕
