The Retirement Thread

[IaninSheffield]

When I had an allotment Sawfly were a pain.If I remember correctly I used Derris Dust to control them .probably on the band list now.

Lost half the all the foliage on two of my bushes a couple of years ago when I happened to be away (for only a few days) when the little blighters started feeding. There are some nematode remedies these days apparently, but I've never been keen on putting anything on plants that will at some stage (hopefully!) be entering my digestive tract. (I know. Most of the fruit & veg we buy will have been blitzed by pesticides during their lifetime)

I seem to remember reading something about Woodhall Spa ,something called the cinema in the woods.Think it was spelt Kiinima in the woods

Kinema, it is a great cinema up to date films at 10 year old prices. We go about 6 + times a year, still has the organ come up out of the stage at the interlude.

Well that was an interesting day. 2 miles from my daughters place and my chain snapped, first time that's ever happened to me in all these years. Fortunately there were 3 LBS's nearby, unfortunately none of them could fix it for me. That will teach me to go out without any tools. So I had to call international rescue to get my son to drop the Brompton off in the car, and take the road bike home. Apart from that we had a good ride around an almost deserted London, even got a photo of a fake number 10 .....

So Good Morning. It's grey, cloudy, 11C and spitting with rain.

This morning we, that's me and one friend, are riding to our usual Monday cafe in the vague hope they are doing takeaway. I have packed a sandwich - old school or what? Sadly I have forgotten the route.... so it will be Wahoo navigation till the brain kicks in. A 60 miler this one. We need to start getting some distance in after weeks of 30 milers, I've ridden 40 at this distance.

After this? Well my car and Mrs P's need washing. The bike will receive TLC.

I have risen!

Good morning people, a bright and breezy morning, out on my bike later, and then I must put in the rest of the plants I brought yesterday.

Good morning fellow retirees,

Another sunny day ahead🌞

As the lockdown unfolds, my steel grey manly mane is starting to draw even more appreciative glances ( think Richard Gere going through a hippy phase) 😉

Yesterday I watched a few YouTube tutorials about cutting your own hair, seems a doddle to me. Later today I shall be home barbering, what could possibly go wrong?

Assuming all is successful then I shall be offering my services to Mrs Tenkay 😁

Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚲🏃🚶🌞
