The Retirement Thread

[jongooligan]

Bench Mark.

We're right up the top of Swaledale. Beautiful walk today. Lots of Oystercatchers, Curlews and Lapwings. Didn't see another soul. Back at the campsite now - we're the only ones here.
Off for a mooch to the Farmer's Arms to see who won last night's darts semi-final between them and the Fountain in Hawes. We were too tired and emotional to stay until the end last night.
Retirement is the bomb.

Wot appened to the sunshine? I left this morning in bright sun and by the time I had crossed Coventry it had clouded over and I didn't see the sun for the rest of the ride. Also it wasn't as warm as they said it would be, I left my woolly hat, gloves, overshoes and winter jacket at home and used a light zipup jersey instead of the jacket but though I wasn't cold I wasn't very warm either. The best thing about this morning though was it was done in silence, I had some money given me for Xmas and spent some of it on new cycle shoes, now whilst they were very nice they drove me up the wall creaking and nothing I did would stop it for more than a couple of hours before it came back, so I brought some more shoes,, cheap ones from Decathlon, very nice but very narrow , my little toes are not impressed.So another good mornings cycling, 56 miles covered and a good gossip in the cafe, we had a good turn out.

I'm always struck by how busy this thread is in the morning and quiet in the evening...............does everyone go to bed at 8.30??? Or watching recordings of Midsomer Murders missed because of an afternoon nap.

Certainly happens here and then I get "Why don't you just go to bed?"

Where you lie down, staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep.
