The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

I have been painting doorframe. It is a boring job but someone has to do it.

Chicken casserole today. And its raining slightly, more like heavy mist

There's a man upstairs painting. He popped his head round the door a little while ago to let me know he was heading out for lunch, and " did I want to check the colour " to which I replied " nah, Mrs Tkk chose it, I am sure it's fine " it's great having tradesmen in the house, Mrs Tkk buys posh biscuits and I get to snaffle a few and say " Crikey, he's really getting through the biscuits " 😁

MrsD got out of the car this morning, tripped and face planted the tarmac.
Had me worried for a while, but no bones broken, luckily. She's now feeling a bit sorry for herself and is bruised all over.

Ouch. That looks painful and might feel worse over the next couple of days.

I‘ve been out and pulled some weeds out. It’s brown bin day tomorrow anyway. Only did the front. The back is a mess as well but my back can only cope with about half an hour.

Been grey here with the odd bit of sun but still quite humid.

Have done some fettling today on the BH's Kona mostly on the rear Magura brake, seems ok now but we'll give it a test at some point, the cranks also needed a look at.
Also checked the tyres on the fleet and did some re-arranging of tool kits and bags, still not 100% happy with the OG set -up with an old Alpkit bag replacing a bulky Restrap one.

Later got some leaves and courgettes for this evenings curry and emptied the compost bucket.

Tonight is quiz night on Beeb 2 so the brain will get a work out tonight.

A BIIIG snooze has been snoozed.
Think I will go and make a chicken stirfry with noodles as I am hungry.

Snooze snoozed. Painkillers for my back today, made the snooze deep and snoozey.

Didn't get a sleep today as we had the gardeners butchers round cutting all the shrubs back.

I did that once but found my bits kept getting wrapped around the pedal cranks

Yeah - I would be worried and wear and tear on some bits

air flow over the head area would be more aero than it was when I were a lad though - unless I wore a helmet
which bring up other possibilities for "jokes"

Morning all

Taking my CRV in for welding, prior to getting it through the MOT.
Once it's got its ticket, I'll be looking at PXing it against a Freelander 2.

If I may ask... I seem to recall that the CRV has given sterling service, is there a particular reason for not sticking with the CRV range?

"I fancy a change" is of course a valid reason 😂

Personally, I am currently looking at the Kia PV5 Passenger MPV.
