Bonjour les retraites et futur retraites. 
today but still a bit cool at the moment. Off to take Molly for a walk and then, I believe my wife has work in store for me. 
Might go for a long walk then.

I don't remember it as Breezey, though I guess that must be right.
My brain keeps repeating Jimmy Greaves, but I'm sure that's not right.
Hold on ... it's coming I think ... Jimmy Edwards? The trombonist I mean.
Alan Breeze. Comes to mind.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I am too young to remember that.

I am totally astonished. Went to the coop this morning 0830. Only one person outside in the queue and when I got in I was able to get nearly everything I went for. No green vegetables such as cabbage tho’ but got a cauliflower instead. It has only taken them about 3 months to get the shelves stocked properly.
Started off a typical West Highland morning ie dampish but mild with little wind. In a month or so midge heaven for them but hell for us. Sun is now out and it looks like a nice day in prospect so triking time again.

We were due to travel up to visit our daughter in Edinburgh yesterday.
Next trip up was scheduled for September with a visit to Tiree, fingers crossed about that one.

We'll have the Bowland Rural District back, stolen from us on April Fools Day 1974.Good morning. Paradise revisited. Thanks for the rain Lord now it's sunny. 12C and still.
Heading out with a great friend at 9.00 for 60+ miles in to Lancashire's undiscovered and beautiful Ribble Valley.
I need to pot on my kale today and find somewhere to plant courgettes and sweet peas. We are heading for a highly productive season but I've overdone it a bit! Not an inch to spare. Hoping the garlic come ready early as I need the space for autumn/winter kale.

I have bimbled. Gorgeous day here. 11 miles done with virtually no traffic on the roads. Lots of signs telling people to turn round or go home.

Back to marmalade....I used to buy a couple of big jars of ...
from Costco every time I went there, but haven't been there since February before the lockdown. I've got a supermarket delivery on Friday I think I've got a Frank Cooper jar on order. Oh well, I'll have to make do I suppose!

Phew! It's thar'ot out there!
Just back from my ride.
Only did 15 miles because of the heat and the fact that I'd forgotten to take my bidon.
Still, I averaged 17 mph which ain't too bad I suppose.
That'd be good going on a cool day, very good at this temperature.
I'm inspired - will try again after a light lunch.
I've done a 20 mph average on that route before now.
Think me legs is gerrin' owder......

You could consider that a decent amateur TT pace on a course with a hill or two.
I'd not manage it these days I don't think.

Hello all, I’ve been following this thread for a few months now, hopefully you don’t mind me posting to it from time to time. I had to give up work last summer and have no intention of working again so I guess that makes me retired. I’m still struggling to adjust to it though.
Today is glorious here in Edinburgh, 20 perhaps 21 degrees and, quite possibly the best day we’re going to get all year. Enjoyed a couple of hours along the East Lothian coast this morning, now back to an afternoon of lockdown.
