The Retirement Thread

[SpokeyDokey]

Weather looks decidedly evil tomorrow in SE Lakeland. Same the rest of the week, too.

Big week ahead on the health front. One day of 'routine' blood, ecg and basic health tests and a meeting (different day, grrr! as it's a 100 mile round trip) to meet Consultant for last biopsy results.

Lots of chasing up crap on my tasks list, too (estate agent, roofer, dentist, etc) - usual retirement stuff!

Not much else to do re bad weather apart from doss, read and natter to Mrs SD for the rest of the week.

Have a good week ahead, all!

Good late afternoon/early evening. Grey and windy but it's been a good drying day........the downside to this is the mountain of ironing that awaits.

@Drago hello. Good to see you.

A busy day, an admirable amount of admin completed and a lot of allotmenting achieved. I'm rather pleased.

Mrs P is cooking, I thought it would be me, so I'm relaxing with a G&T...........large.

I'm excited, well very excited. Tomorrow we're taking #1 and #2 for a picnic and day out. #1 is staying for a sleepover. They get on very well. I'm sure we'll have a great day. Granddading is wonderful. We're going to

Sunny start here but a lot more cloudy now but no rain.

Some planting done and some admin also , will have a check over of the Faran after Fridays ride but won't have to mess about with the AR Stayer as the tyre has held up overnight.

Well the check over ended up being a good clean down including washing the Grepp fabric bar tape and cleaning the Brooks Cambium saddle with some Schwalbe soap, plus cleaning out the Honjo mudguards and giving the inside of them a spray to help against some corrosion of bolts etc.

Lovely day with grandson, 11, as mum took a trip to London to watch the Arsenal parade for kicking pigs bladders.
We went on a bike ride, walked the dogs & played chess. He's actually quite good & I'm quite useless but I did win best of three 😂

He also tried my freshly made Banana cake & custard after our Spaghetti Hoops on toast for dinner.. 👍

I bought a can of white spray paint today for a project, got home put the bag down and the can suddenly split o the seam. Thankfully a bag for life so wrapped the top over and stuck it outside to let it leak and hiss in the bag. Unfortunately the receipt was also in the bag and is now in a white puddle of spray paint.

Was that to circle all the potholes

That's a cool bike. What's the group set and the tyre size? They look meaty.
