The Retirement Thread

[gavroche]

Salut tout le monde! again today but no plans to do anything so just a lazy day till bedtime apart from late afternoon walk with Molly ( she had one this morning too ) and on the turbo later. I have more fences to paint but next door's car is right up to them so don't want to splash paint on his vehicle, hence lazy day till he goes out. Now time for a 🥃 and a spot of lunch.

Another cracking morning for an early walk. I think it's going to be warmer today than yesterday. I might manage a short tootle on the hybrid just taking it very easy.

Lovely photos Mo. My favourite is the second one, I wouldn't mind that hanging on my wall....10/10 gold star.

Done another couple of hours in the garden.
Sat back with a sarnie and a couple of beers to admire my handiwork.
Can't be arsed to do any more now.
Time for an afternoon executive power nap.

I've been over to Countesthorpe this morning, 57 miles, out of Coventry though Woodend to Shilton, and on through Withybrook, Ullesthorpe, Gilmorton, Peatling Parva and, peatling Magna, then turned onto the gated road to Countesthorpe, stopping by St Bartholomew's Church to eat my cereal bar and catch up on my phone which had been pinging most of the morning, rode into the village past the garden centre thats normally my cafe stop, it looked very sad quiet with an empty car park, then turned to ride back to Peatling Magna and retrace my wheel tracks home. Another ride in bright sunshine with a strong breeze, cold at first but warming up as the ride progressed, I wore Summer tights with a winter jacket and gloves and was cold at the start of the ride but too warm once I'd turned for home. I'm getting used to these straight through rides without a stop, on the first one one my legs faded away quite badly towards the end, on this one I was close to home before they started to fade.

Word has always been that you have a big box

0C this am, 21 this afternoon. Going for a small wheel ride with my compadre from across the street on the bike shown below. Then to plant a few snow peas, praps mow the lawn, paint the floor of my sheepherders wagon with deck paint, eat a lot, go to the grocery store, walk the Geriatric Pooch and generally laze around. Some days it is so nice out you want to live forever. Today is one of them.

Sitting on the patio after a morning sanding the porch back to nice bare oak.

The wooden thing in the middle of the lawn, well I think it might be one end of a bench for the table, not sure yet though.

32 mile spin on the hybrid since it’s so gorgeous. Legs felt surprisingly ok after yesterday’s hills.
