The Retirement Thread

[GM]

Morning all. Up and raring to go. Showered, breakfast, and washing in the machine, next take the dog for a run and then gardening and hopefully a ride this afternoon. Cinema this evening, not sure yet what we're going to see might be Fisherman's friends. This old retirement lark certainly keeps you busy!

A chill morning so far although I was up early.
About to do some exercises.
I am riding again today.....just another 10 miler. It MUST surely be warmer than yesterday .
Mrs D is in town getting her new specs re-fitted then I think a visit to the pub calls.

Just in to my second week of retirement practice. Actually this is my second week off sick following my nose operation on the 15th. One side is clear; the other still a little blocked. I have the resto of the week to practice, then it's back to w**k for one final week then that will be full time employment finished for ever. Really looking forward to that final day.

Anyhow, so far today I have fed the fish, replaced the bulb in the oven, replaced the filter to the extractor hood. Now sitting down for quick relax before going on a short ride.

and washing in the machine,

You have a machine to wash in? Does it get to all the wrinkly bits?

No......I will be escorting her.
I should finish my ride** around the time she gets back.
**I am leaving it later to let the day warm up. My face and head got very cold yesterday.

Fed the fish as in pond or aquarium?
I fed my pond fish today for the 2nd time this year. They just ignored it for 5 minutes.....then the first one tried it, then they all got stuck in.

I originally rode over to Cosby, but found the cafe closed down, so I headed for Sutton Cheney but rode past the Greenacres garden centre on the A447 near Cadby and thought I haven't been in there for years, so popped in for a coffee and teacake.

Lovely here as well, but we haven't lost that biting cold wind yet, I'm wearing longs and could have done with gloves as well, but I'm seeing people in shorts as well .

No wind here at all. A gorgeous spring day. Of course it won't last.

Pond. They (goldfish) disappear into the weed over winter so you never know how many survive the cold months. The sunny weather has brought them out so I fed them for the first time on Saturday. It does take them a couple of minutes to realise there is something to eat. They are pretty slow at the moment, but some the summer, they will be waiting for feeding time.
