The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good Morning, Grey, breezy and 80% chance of rain at 08.00, your local bunch of lunatics pensioners have 79 mile ride planned to Gradely Bonksers. It's quite a feat to turn a ride into a 79 miler from Chorley to the Southport area - the most direct route is 50 miles there and back. The forecast has been spot on so far today, which means it probably will pee down at 08.00 which is when we will make a decision. I have heavy duty wet weather gear ready.

This week? Monday was a great childminding day - an absolute delight. Tuesday's child definitely had one on her! Geez. The poor little mite was tired, a bit poorly and just didn't know what to do with herself. That's very unusual for #3SP. Ah well, so it goes. Today, if I don't ride there are household chores and this evening we have a u3a social event. I'm running the bar. Anyway I need to crack on as I have a list of small things to get done before I go riding.

@Dave7 I keep meaning to ask. Does your Aldi still stock the burgers you recommended? I've only found them once at mine. Where they in the "Specially Selected" range or the "Oakhurst?" I thought they were very good.

A teeny tiny Landie 🤣
Surprised the tax is so high 😳

Had a Pint of Science this evening.
A bit wiser about fruit flies & the earths magnetism, DNA and ants, plus more about granite than I ever thought I needed 🫣
Naturally I can’t remember anything, but it was a nice pint.
Another session tomorrow at The Real Ale Classroom - a proper place of learning 🤣🍻

I know. Considering it's only a 1.3 engine.

Cooooeeee. 11 deg here. We had monsoon rain yesterday, and it was really windy overnight as well.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all.
A cloudy and breezy start to the day here.
All the usual things to do, and I'll get out on the bike for a while later on.
MrsP is off to a floristry course this morning, and out this evening to the Sadlers Wells theatre with her mate.
Another busy day in paradise.

Busy morning so far...
I've topped up my little bottles of shampoo & shower gel, that I use after swimming, and put the last dregs of shampoo into the new bottle..
Also replaced a bit of white blu-tac that holds a cable to the edge of the window cill that has become unsticky where it holds the curtain nearer the wall..

I need a coffee ☕

Morning all

Market day today, so we will have a walk down to the harbour to see what we can buy.
I serviced the MZ last night in readiness for a ride out tomorrow with my best mate.

I've just taxed my car online. £325 for the year

I prefer my Nissan Joke 1.5 dci £20

I quite enjoy listening to people who really know their stuff too, mainly about human biology, health and nutrition and exercise but a fair amount goes over my head when it gets too advanced.

Looks like another day with a few showers but not as heavy as yesterday.

They had some more advanced ones we felt might go beyond us….mind you, they are very short sub-30 minute talks, so maybe not.
We are off to another tonight with a pal which sounds interesting 🤞

Morning, it looks damp outside

Paul, the answer is, i dont know. Ive been making my own so haven't checked. I am due a trip in the next few days so will have a look.
TBH I cant remember which ones they were, can you ?

We were going to get a Juke once. Its looks nice but the boot was too small for our needs.

WoWZA... ..I went back to bed and slept really heavy, just got up but not woken up yet.
Not raining but looks threatening.
