The Retirement Thread

Before.

Any odd looks whilst out walking?

Just climbed off the turbo, day 19 of my virtual LeJog. I'll be passing Manchester tomorrow.

The route I'm following gives a total distance of 1613 Km, so far I've covered 674 Km so quite a way to go with some big lumps ahead.
Some days I'll just gaze at my avatar as it inches its way along the map on the screen, other day's I'll listen to my " Learn French with Paul Noble" audiobook, but the most enjoyable is catching up on some fascinating and informative episodes of the "Naked Scientists" Podcasts.

I've also been pondering about Covid 19. I remember reading about villages that escaped the ravages of the Great Plague. I expect that with modern society being so mobile the chances of an area remaining free of the virus are negligible, with the exception of Ambridge of course

I very much admire people who can sit on a turbo like this. I've used a turbo when recovering from illness but I couldn't at any other time. I listened to old vinyl, one album was enough for each session.

You'll probably pass Chorley - pop in for coffee. Our village has so far been spared. We know people who have been ill but no one living in the village.

I'm not sure if there is more than one Chorley in that neck of the woods. If there is a Coronation Recreation ground there then I've been there on a previous occasion and had the dubious pleasure of sleeping on the concrete floor of the groundkeepers hut. IIRC I had to leave the door ajar due to lack of space and it got a tad chilly in the early hours.

Not meant in any sexiest terms, as my Dad's older sister drove lorries pulling anti aircraft guns around the London area.

👍👍👍

All the folks in our little close (nine houses) have been out in our respective front gardens this afternoon. Though we're no more social than most, it was a really convivial atmosphere. Lucky to have decent neighbours.
The last time we were all out at the same time was to clear the snow during the snowmageddon of around 8 years ago.

You're right there is a Coronation Rec in Chorley. Perhaps I'd better not ask about your sleeping arrangements.....
