The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

They’ve put mirror man up again in Loch Earn. He was removed for a couple of years for some reason.

I’ll need to get up to see him at some point.

Spoils a beautiful view imo.

Good morning gang.
A better sleep was had as I only woke at 5 with the need for a pee.
Still cold at just 1°.
TV sports day for me, especially the cup final this afternoon.
Have a nice day
@ebikeerwidnes have a nice hangover

Good morning all.
There is a heavy frost outside and a lovely blue sky with no clouds.
We are off to Hatfield house later on, it's the dog and daffodil day with agility, dog shows and various other dog related events going on.

Coooooeeee. -1 for us again but it's sunny again.

I quite like seeing sculptures like that. They can be beautiful. There is one In Cornwall I understand that's supposed to be king Arthur. I've only seen photos of it but it's gorgeous.

Stay safe peeps

I have risen!

Good morning folks. I can hear Mrs Tkk putting all the old crap back into the cupboards of the new kitchen where it will remain undisturbed until the kids eventually take it to the charity shop/ council tip. Cynical, me? Nah, just a realist 🤔
On a lighter note, the sun is shining and I plan to go for a run. Just a week to go until our 10k race in Saltaire. Plenty of time to train up, long run today, hills on Tuesday, speedwork Thursday, taper down Friday and race on Sunday 😁

Morning. A bit duller today and just 3 degrees, but shock, horror I have been for a short cycle. First ride since last September!

Just under 14 miles at a very slow 12.2mph but it’s a start.

Morning all

Nice sunny day by the looks of it.
I'll have an hour in my workshop before we go out for a stroll up to the Railway Inn for lunch.
Talking of railways; it's only 7 days to go before the WSR starts running again. We'll be doing a round trip on the first train next Saturday.

Just noticed that @Chief Broom seems to be MIA - not posted since Jan 6. Hope he's OK.

Snow Woke seems to be getting a bit of a slamming!

Huh - I seem to be lucky that way - I don;t generally get proper hangovers
partly because I always drink water before I go to bed

I just feel a bit subdued the morning after

I did feel that Liverpool was rather busy last night
after a while I also realised that there was a lot of people wearing green

eventually I realised it was the Saturday before Paddy's day
In Liverpool - which is half Irish

I should have realised - Paddy's day is also know as my wife's birthday!

so I must remember to wrap her present today at some point

The only thing I've ever been given free is the clap.
