The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Just got back from beer run and doggie walk.
Drove back around the coast and it appears to be very quiet out there. Maybe yesterday's fiasco has frightened folk off.
Currently sitting in the garden enjoying a fresh Cornish crab sandwich and a pint.

The beer looks good but I have never enjoyed crab. We did have crab fish cakes in Cromer which were nice.

Little 23 mile spin on the hybrid. Wrong bike for a breezy day plus I was overdressed. Never mind. A few more miles before the weather takes a turn for the worse for a few days.

Good afternoon peeps. Back from a lovely 5 mile walk in Hertfordshire partly along side the river Lea. Only two other people in sight.

Well, I did go out on a ride and covered 20 miles with some uphills at 13%. I also now know that 13% is my limit but more than enough on 30/34 chainring. I am still planning to put 40 teeth on my cassette though when my Lbs re-open.
I really enjoyed the ride with some very scenic views over the Conwy valley. I must take my camera with me next time so you can see how beautiful my area is.
Having a cider now 🥃 after my shower and Molly is giving me the eye to go out for a walk.
A man's job is never finished, is it?

I'm just back from my scan ( Senior Citizen Afternoon Nap)

I don't usually succumb but this morning I ran a hilly 5k and then jumped on the Turbo trainer when I got home. As Fort William was in view I pushed on for longer than usual and practically fell off the bike with exhaustion.
Time for a coffee and a slice of cake 🥮🍮

Our front garden is looking colourful

We got rid of our washing line many years ago. We were innundated with Starlings and fed up with clean washing covered in purple poo.... from the berries they ate.

Cormorants are worse being bigger birds. Also mostly purple but they certainly do not eat berries. My boat ended up strung with bits of rope and net to keep the b's off and a spike on top of the mast to stop seagulls roosting there. Quite funny when I first put it up as they came in with landing gear deployed and then almost too late realised what was about to happen eeeek.
Don't start me on otters and their mess.

@Dirk
While on your rambles, if you happen to go this way.....at any time, no rush.......let me know what this place looks like.
I know at best you can only see the outside but any thoughts appreciated.
If you never go that way....no probs.

You have a nice bush Welshie. It could do with a trim though imo.
What is that rectangular thing.
