The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

As it's our wedding anniversary a tandem ride seems appropriate.
Then to the toon this evening for an expensive neet oot.

A song for the day

One can live in hope

I thought you were in Cheshire!

Oh dear. A blue tit has fallen down the chimney and is currently inside the wood burner. That will be a job for Mr WD. He can get rid of it.,

Our next door neighbour suffers from Ornithophobia. I once had to get a crow out of her woodburner - what a job that was!

Anyone want to wash my car for me? No, I thought not

It's going in for an MOT on Thursday and it's too embarrassing putting it in in its current state. The rubber round the windows is turning green it's so long since it was done. Lol. To think in my younger days before my back started playing up I used to wash my car for fun. Be lucky if it's twice a year now.

No hand car wash guys near to you @Mo1959?
There are a couple of places that charge £6 and they do a grand job. Doesnt take them very long either. When I think of the time and effort getting all the stuff out and putting it away its worth it.

Tandem ride complete. May have been a mistake as Mrs. jg reports being a bit sore now.

Tandem at rest outside the National glass Centre.

Had some snap at the Glass Centre then got caught in a shower on the way back. About 30 gentle miles.

What did you do to her?

 

[jongooligan]

What did you do to her?

I jinked left, she jinked right. You can't do that on a tandem.

We eventually got to Manchester to meet No 1 grandson.
We got there early so walked around Piccadilly......why anyone would live there is beyond me but there are 1000s of apartments being thrown up.
We had lunch at W'spoons......very impressed for the price although the pint of Doombar was not the best.
Back home now, sat enjoying a pleasant whisky.

@Dave7 I agree re living in the area but my son, 32, would disagree. Manchester I think we could agree is a vibrant city for young people. I don't like the idea of appartment living but the young seem very happy with it. My lad has been knocking around Manchester for 12 years and loves the city.
