The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good afternoon. Lashing down with rain last night. That's cleared. Instead it's windy, sunny, heavy showers and hail!!! 😲

The small one is asleep. Mrs P is sewing while watching Homes Under the Hammer. I know.

Have any of you considered the outcome when a 19 month old finds a box of 24 acrylic pens? It can be quite spectacular.........still I needed something to do while she naps...........

Could be worse

Mien was sick once

when she started to feel better we thought she was asleep and she found some of her paints

so decided to try painting the wallpaper and carpet

The bottom screw thingy next to the whatsit needs tightening, have you had a torque on it? It needs checking before you put it on the doodah.

I have something that I thought some wise and knowledable people might be able to help me with





but they were out so I though I would ask you lot



anyway - I was just in a local Co-Op

as I was walking in 2 ladies were walking out - sort of late 20's early 30s age


as we passed I heard a snippet of conversation


"after that I had problems getting my suspenders back on"



now I am sure that there are many ways in which this can be interpreted

but I am wondering what the rest of the conversation was


anyone any ideas???

Out for a stroll, 1st one I've managed for a week. The spirit is willing but the body is weak.
When i get back i have a curry to make for me and the family. It will be a chicken jalfrezi with a few of my own additions. SiL likes it hot hot hot but jalfrezi is as hot as I can take it.

Had a biblical downpour just after the walk so lingered in the small greengrocers until the worst of it had passed. Had some cheese with Soda bread and a handful of grapes for lunch, now it's snooze time...

No idea but as a teenager, back in the early 60s, it was a golden age for us lads as mini skirts were in but girls still wore stockings and suspdenders. Above the stockings was the giggle band cos if you got that far you were laughing.
Ive come over all weak now, I need a lie down

In a pervious life I worked as a cook in the military, I was once asked why I didn't make a hot curry, only once.

worked OK

Acetone was better

Noticed before that my last ride on Strava seemed a bit short

Anyway - I took 2 photos while out
seems like the ecording stopped when I took the first one
then magically restarted when I took the second


so Strava assumed I had gone between the 2 in a perfectly straight line

thus cutting several miles off the ride

This has happened before - once it added about 10,000 miles, riding through the Bering Straits in winter is damn cold!! - but that could be fixed by cropping in Strava

so I thought the GPS stuff is "just a file of data" so it must me possible to correct it


which I have now done - not perfect but much closer to where I rode

Shows how much use the speed records on segments are!!!
