The Retirement Thread

[172traindriver]

Morning. Been out for a quick 4 mile jog before the weather closes in. It's already really blustery and rain is now on. Always a nice feeling to have got something done before it arrives.

Saw the item on BBC news about the womens Tour of Scotland.
It's going to be rough out there

God, yes forgot that kicked off today. Will be interesting! Through this way tomorrow when it's not quite as bad.

And today's offering........

There was a young man called Train driver
Who thought he was Lady Godiva
On his bike he would ride
With his legs open wide
Shouting come have a look for a fiver.

Me neither............the odd glimpse of a trailer for it has me wondering what is wrong with people that sit glued to that!!

And a good many other reality programmes.
Absolute s##t the lot of them. People must be pretty sad if they sit there watching that stuff and then spend all day talking about it

Nope, the only notable worthies currently are Dennis Lawson and Ewan McGregor the actors. Met Ewan a couple of weeks ago on one of the walks.

Is he friendly when you just meet him out and about?

Good morning - Lots of rain overnight. The first lengthy spell we've had in quite a while around here. The plants in the allotment will be very happy.

Being a fair weather cyclist, the prospects don't look good as regards a bike ride to see my brother this afternoon.

Ah one of those! @Mo1959 me neither. One of my best friends, highly intelligent, is glued to it with her daughter. Quite beyond me.

Thats the thing that gets me......intelligent people glued to the tv.
If it was Jeremy Kyle types I could understand it.

Yes, although he wasn't for giving away what he was currently working on! His mum is lovely too. Often meet her with the pooch.

Remember that Big Brother............people actually used to get up during the night and tune in and watch them sleeping! Beggars belief.

Morning all. Yes lots of rain over night and it's still raining. A good day for decorating!

I went down to the Doctor's (Ithink there is a song title to be had there), and showed the receptionist my hand. I now have an appointment for 9.30 this morning.
Sitting in a cafe with a mug of tea awaiting said time.

I took some yesterday evening but it has continued to blow up. Maybe I need something stronger. It is continuing up my forearm at the moment.

That doesn't sound good. Hope they get you sorted.

Was it definitely a wasp? I once had a horrendous bite from a horsefly that got infected.
