The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. A rather cool 6 degrees at the moment but dry and sunny. Better get out and enjoy it as the showers are due to return by late morning.

I enjoyed my day up in Aberfeldy yesterday with my old neighbours who are up for a week’s holiday. Pleasant walk done, nice lunch out then back to the cottage for a cuppa and a good catch up blether.

Monday - started on our efforts to walk round the Island 👍
It was chucking down until 11, so a late start and a mild 20km 👍
Did have to negotiate one dicey cliff edge: the “path closed” sign had been moved at the end we went in 😳

Yesterday was calmer, so managed 27km from Shanklin to Quarr Abbey 💪
Even then, there are a few diversions: the KCIII Coast Path is not as complete and tidy as they might have you believe 🙄

Ankle & knees aching this morning, but an early start, hoping to make it to the Horse & Groom, another 25-30km ahead 🍻
My hopes we might do in in 4 days have been revised to 5 - nothing if not flexible 🤣

Good morning all.
I am meeting up with some of the retired railwaymen for breakfast later this morning. I will cycle to the venue, it's about 9 miles away and hilly so it will be a good workout. I might have to dodge the showers though.

Good morning all. A wet day ahead, again.
Lunch time cabaret to look forward to. I might force myself to have a shave before that.

Morning all

Not much doing today, just tidying up a few odds and ends, plus a trip to the Post Office later.

Dogs walked.

Was sunny and bright when we headed out, now clouding up rapidly. I hope it holds as some hairy arsed plaid shirt wearing yorkie munching trucker is supposed to be popping round.

Neck still hurts. You might recall I went over heavily on the ice last winter and wrenched my back and neck, too a week or so to recover. Think I must have slept a bit awkwardly onnit the other night and aggravated the neck again. Its not killer, just enough to warrant a Class 3 level grumble and moan.

A friend of mine was over on the IOW a couple of months back. There has been quite a bit of erosion on the coastal path and some of it has dropped into the sea, other parts have had landslips covering it.

Morning.
Nice and sunny again although still breezy unfortunately as I'm planning a ride but better than rain.
