The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I have risen!

Been up a while, Muttley already walked just about to heat up George Clooney's liquid. I didn't think it was that cold, but in the ruts around the farm where I walked the dog there were hints of frost here and there.

Good morning.

Got up at 07:00 after a better night’s sleep for me. Asleep at 11:30 ish, awoke at 03:00 (no meteors to be seen) then at 04:30, 06:00 (took some pain killers) then up at 07:00. Knees are getting better slowly.

Would like to get out on the bike again as I did on Sunday, 7.5 miles but it is a bit too gusty and cold at the moment. I’ll do a couple of sessions on the turbo instead to start building up the muscles.

Otherwise it’s watching the terns diving for sand eels outside the house. They really are spectacular.

Morning campers.
The sun is shining, what could possibly be wrong with the world?
The usual cycle of dog walking, gardening and may a bike ride out and about.
Another day in paradise.

Morning all. A bit of a restless night, it's my turn to sleep with the dog this week. Since the boy has been self isolating in his studio in the garden, me and wifey take it turns to sleep with the dog. The boy made the big mistake of letting him sleep in his bed when he was a pup.

Had a mishap yesterday afternoon, putting a new chain on one of the bikes. I broke the chain took putting the pin in the link, schoolboy error, got a new one coming in the post. Have a good day peeps

Worth getting a decent chain tool. I originally made the mistake of buying a cheap one on eBay and the pin bent on the first use. Got Park Tools now and seems much sturdier.

That's the one I'm getting from the good people at BikeTart.

Mo, how's Bodgit & Leggit next door getting on with the carport? I've got a similar issue with our neighbour's extension unfinished on our side due to the current situation, it's a bit of eyesore.

They have currently taken the perspex back off and seem to be painting it. The brother has put an edging on that looks like it will take a gutter once the perspex is back on so at least the rain water won't hit my wall. I'm just glad I got the exterior of my house painted a couple of years ago and my gutters replaced last year or it would have been a nightmare for tradesmen squeezing themselves in the gap.

Good morning.
Mo, I went to bed at 2200. I tossed and turned for maybe half a minute then remember nothing till 0600 this morning
This morning is exercise bike morning followed by weights and situps. I may have a walk to the co-op later as they have the only bits I need and it gives me over a mile walk.
Just enjoying a coffee before anything else.
Have a good day all.

A good nights sleep, you must have a nice clear conscience (is that how you spell it?)

Yes thats definitely how you spell 'clear'
Never had a problem sleeping but always had problems waking up. I can wake up and get up but it takes ages to be fully awake.

Bonjour tout le monde! Yet another beautiful sunny day here in North Wales 😊 and more painting to do! Apart from that, nothing planned. Will be walking Molly up the mountain later and turbo session this afternoon. I might also cut the grass as the bl**dy thing keeps growing regardless.
When I am in my shed on the turbo, I keep looking at my two other bikes hanging up on the wall and they are beckoning me to take them out for a ride. I really feel sorry for them, life is not fair.
When I opened the fridge earlier on, I also noticed that we are running low on cider so I must add it to the shopping list next time I go. Dehydration is no good for you. 🥃
