The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good morning all. A little cooler this morning and a bit of a breeze.
Market day today,I'll cycle up there, we need some fresh fruit and veg.

A strange phenomenon late last night, when I had a cold shower before going to bed, the radiators in the upstairs bedrooms and the towel rail in the bathroom were slughtly warm as if the CH had come on. The CH and the hot water were turned off so couldn't have fired up. I am presuming that because of the heat the water in the system had started to circulate by capillary action
Anyway, enjoy your day everyone

Morning all.
A strange nights of interrupted sleep. I dropped off OK but suddenly woke at 02.30 so I was up googling and listening to music till 04.30 then I slept fine till now.
Feels quite pleasant but its still 23° in here.
Have a good day peeps.

Cool and quiet on the riverside with just the sound of birds. A heron just landed looking for breakfast I imagine.

What????? Ketchup with cheese on toast? Sacrilege.........at the very least. This delicacy should be unadulterated or, occasionally adorned with chutney, preferably homemade, or mayonnaise, Hellmans, only Hellmans.

I will admit if I'm feeling indecisive I will sometimes have one slice straight and the other accompanied with a relish of some sort.

Even more so considering that the cheese was a " Barbers Crunch " extra mature cheddar ( mature cheddar is the one true cheese, all else ( except halloumi) is a pale imitation. ) The annoying thing is that I saw the almost depleted bottle sitting in the fridge door and thought I would use it up to make the fridge a little less cluttered.

Good morning from a toasty Dorset. Sleeping with the windows open lets more noise in and I was up and about just after midnight investigating a banging noise from outside. Nothing apparent so went back to bed.

Morning all

Off to walk the pup around Horner woods this morning, then dropping in to Watchet street market before lunch at the Star.
I cut a load of metal yesterday to make 8 more clutch tools for Bantams - think I'll leave the welding for a cooler day.
Was told, last night, that a former work colleague had died from aggressive cancer. He was only 68.

Morning.
Another absolute belter on the way, boiling already.
So, what better than a hilly 40 odd miles. Mate I'm going with suggested one of my other routes which is 65 miles but I think that might get a tad toasty and once committed at half way point no quick route back. Todays ride offers contingency to bail early if required.

The seemingly endless search for a new pack for the Cervelo is over. Why is it a new bike often requires new everything else.........or is it just me?????🤔🤔

I do enjoy a well packed saddlebag. Mrs P came downstairs while I was doing this, she should have been sleeping.........she gave me one of those withering, pitying looks that wives are so good at...........you all understand, don't you??? A well organised saddlebag is a thing of great beauty requiring years of practice to hone one's skills..........or a serious case of OCD???

A lot cooler today so will get a short ride in this morning ;was going to be longer but LucretiaMyReflection messaged me about some routes for Friday so will just get a quick one in today.

Thunderstorm last night and actually had a bit of rain! Not enough but it'll have to do.

Got some gardening jobs to do for the rest of the day.
