The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Morning fellow curmudgeons.
Felt a bit 'off' yesterday - aching legs, restless, unable to concentrate - had a poor night, but feel a bit better this morning.
Off out looking at hill forts again this morning - amazing history all around us in Britain. Might even find a character Cotswold pub to have lunch in.

Hate to say it but the right hand front looks too big and the front needs to be flush with walls.

Morning folks safely home. Grey but warm and still. Back to reslity, washing done and hung out. Off to check allotment now.

Club hill climb event tonight. This morning will be spent putting up warning and traffic signs. Somehow I've been roped in to running the sign on point. Not sure how that happened. Forecast perfect for this evening.

Mrs P still asleep. Not much changes.

Arms or legs?

Arms or legs?

Legs
The pocket on my Ron Hill trackers had come undone, my new shorts needed shorting (I hate shorts that are too long) and a new hem to my training suit, all done with just one hiccup, but soon sorted

My grandson has just bought himself a Honda 125 second hand from the place he will be doing his CBT next month.

Might be a bit costly though?
