The Retirement Thread

What's the Whisky(Note spelling) drinking?

Bog standard blended with a drop of lemenade in. Its a case of quantity over quality.
Its a nice relief when told its clear so a few drinks followed by an early night beckons

I'd stick to lemonade with a drop of whisky, from here on.

Good news though.

As you may have all forgot I got rushed into hospital in Turkey 10 months ago, herniated disc. Anyways, my leg muscles just vanished in a week, it took all my concentration to straighten my left leg let alone put any weight on it. Yet this afternoon I had what I consider my best ride since, 15 miles in under 60 minutes, a long way down on 10 months ago but it certainly felt good. I still have a lot of pain in the muscles of my lower back, I still have severe pins and needles in my left leg and my left knee feels like I am kneeling on a broken saucer when I kneel down. So, I am sitting here feeling happy that cycling maybe in my future still.

That and the pain management people phoned on Thursday, they were supposed to call before February 22nd, I am seeing them Wednesday, so that should be interesting.

Not sure why I wrote that lot.

Well done and hopefully there will be further improvements over time

I didnt reply last night (other things filled my mind).
Not sure how long Ive been on the 'old farts' section but dont recall any of that. It sounds awful and I am glad to see things improving for you.
Do you have a history of back problems or was it out of the blue ?

Morning all. What a nice day.
I have some jobs to do but plan a 20 miler around mid day...... when it warms up.
My phone (bbc weather) is showing rain all day tomorrow and Thursday so we should make the best of it.
A BBQ is planned for later this afternoon

Good day everyone. Glorious weather at the moment and I think will last the day.

A lot of pottering type jobs today. Including letting the bees out of the front room. This is now a morning ritual and I'm wondering if we have a nest. I love bees, hugely important insect but not living permanently in the house!!

Do you have a cavity under the floor? perhaps in there.

Yes we do have a cavity floor. Problem is we have a wood floor with interlocking planks.The only way in is with a saw!!

TBH I'm more concerned about the bees than anything. I like bees! Strange though it may sound.
