The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

A late good morning to all.
My plan was to be out at 0700 for an 8 mile walk and then I thought "why bother, I will let Mo do it for me".
You let me down Mo as you only did 7. Nip out and do another mile will you.....ta.
But I really did over sleep and am not in the mood for much. Lawns still need mowing and as rain is due tomorrow I must do it. No, really I must....really.

I, personally, could not be arsed with all that. I would rather waste £50 and buy a new one.
I had a mate (not seen for years) that could not sit.....he just had to find some diy to do. It makes me tired just thinking about it.
But...... I take my hat off to those that can and do .

I'm like you. I think I am inherently lazy by nature. Even takes a lot to get me to do housework!

I love watching other people work. I could sit and watch them all day.

Morning all.Bit brass monkeys here this morning.

Well, it had to be done.

No hairdressers open, during lockdown, and, Mrs @BoldonLad needed a hairdresser.

What can be difficult about that, I thought, it is just cutting in a straight line.

Hmm.... Mrs @BoldonLad has retired to her "hairdressing room" to attempt to rescue the result.

Don't think I will be asked to do that again

Morning all. Wondering what to do first, mow the grass for the third time this week, or wash the windows for the second time this week 🤔

@Tenkaykev I've been doing something similar to your turbo LeJog, only on the rowing machine. I row along with a YouTube video of the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, makes it a tad less boring!

 

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning one and all, my apologies for being late on parade today. I jumped on the Turbo first thing and sort of got a bit absorbed with getting past Launceston
Mrs Tenkay is back from the shops with fresh croissants, she's on the turbo at the moment so I'm gazing at the croissants and waiting for her to finish 'cos I'm hungry!
I had an email from Brompton regarding the 2.6 challenge that is happening tomorrow in lieu of the London Marathon. Fold / unfold your Brommie in under 26 seconds. I've suggested a challenge amongst our local WhatsApp Brompton group. Honour bound not to cheat, slowest gets the first round in once the lockdown is lifted

I hope it's not the one where the boats got swamped

Just back from my morning bimble. Bit windy over the top and the roads haven't got any smoother over winter!
Still, reasonably please with that, considering I've had a 6 month lay off from any real cycling. Still a ways to go to get up to the 17.8 mph average I managed on this anti clockwise loop a couple of years ago.

Well I've had a nice ride. Just making a sandwich and cup of tea. I don't often eat pork pies but right now I'd swap my Cervelo for one!

I might read the paper this afternoon........

Another pork pie lover here, with a slight suggestion of mustard, 'perfecto' .... currently having a mashed banana and jam sandwich, listening to pick of the pops, my era as well

Now I happen to have a spare pork pie at the back of the fridge.
I think the best before date was 2016 .
Where shall we meet for the swap??

Banana and jam . How were you ever allowed on this forum.
On the plus side, I am also listening to POTPs......I was so in love with Francois Hardy
