The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Morning all, the sun is shining, the wind is blowing and it's cold.
Out with the dog soon and I finally got a click and collect slot at Sainsburys. This is the first big shop for 8 weeks. So off to London Colney this afternoon, it's only 5 miles away so we won't be long.

Tease 😀

It is cold here and a tad breezy at times. I have to take my car to the garage at 9 am so will ride back from there. So probably a massive 6 miles in total for me today.

I dug out my winter Wooly hat and gloves

I have risen!

Mrs D has been moaning about my beard being halfway down my chest, and I've been ordered to tidy it up. Unfortunately, her orders were no more specific than that and as a result I am now sporting a handsome set of friendly mutton chops.

I have bimbled already. 27 miles on the MTB for a change. Mr Garmin says the average temperature was 36.

Underfloor heating is great unless you turn it off a week too early.

Does it take a while to heat back up?

Morning all... Just tucking into my porridge and toast. Depending on the weather, it'll be jobs out doors or indoors.

Be interested in the report on the wheels DaveR

About 20 hours.

We have a grammar stickler amongst us I am doomed.

I changed the drive belt on my flymo and all seems to be working. The thing is only a couple of years old so the life seems a bit limited. This one is for the front grass as there is a nasty steep slope and no chance of doing anything about it as it is solid rock underneath. The back has a different machine where the switch is a bit of a lash up but works ok. The other older flymo has a switch which does not turn off and is kept for emergencies. Why do I keep buying their rubbish?
Sunny day so far but very cold. Got plants to go out but mebbe by Wednesday the temperature will be up and a bit more stable.
