The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good morning world. It's a beautiful sunny and still morning and the forecast is good.........unlike the next few days. We had a spectacular thunderstorm last night and enough rain to keep the allotment going for a month!! Good stuff.

Today I will be limping around the place and not doing much. A good walk yesterday but I pulled a calf muscle at four miles. I then had to walk three miles of the Pennine Way across Marsden Moor. Walking over an uneven surface was tough. Eventually reached a tarmac road where it was agreed to leave me while the rest of the group walked the remaining three miles back to the cars and drive back to get me!!!!!

To cap it all the chippy was closed.

Feels better this morning but I've no idea how long these things take to heal. I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike.

We have another load of wood coming this morning so my job for today is to help load it onto the trailer so That Mr WD can move it up to the log store.

That will be my exercise for the day.

Guten Morgen. Croissants are in the oven, Mrs G talking on the phone , Molly sitting next to me and the sun is shining so might go for a ride early afternoon if it remains like that. Have a good day everyone.

Well, new Rubino Pros just delivered and I have a new chain sitting waiting too. Shame I don't seem to have the enthusiasm to fit them! I need someone to clean and maintain my bikes so that I can just ride them!

When you say "you can barely boil an egg" does that mean you boil them in the nude ?
If so please count me in for breckie tomorrow

Wouldn't that depend, a lot, on if your curry "really works" or not?

Not even if he brings some of his curry.

Re the curry.
When I follow a recipe I always end up tasting and thinking ahhh it needs some of this.....then it needs some of that etc. So last night I just made it up as I went along.
TBH it smells a bit strong this morning. I can see I will be adding sugar?? mango chutney ?? coconut milk ??
Hope this works

School dinner curries always had sultanas in them. What was that all about?

Woke up about 0530 with a severe leg cramp. I was walking in a dream to look at a box where I had ordered a new washing machine but apparently had been sent a fridge instead and the cramp hit me.
Need to get out for more exercise I think.

Why not? I just play it by taste and add whatever I happen to have available. I like to add a bit of coconut when I have creamed coconut in the larder.

And the cramp was to protect you.

Really hot out the back of the house now. I eventually mustered up a bit of enthusiasm and got the Cube out of the shed. Wheels off and old chain off and a quick wash. It now has a shiny new chain and a new set of tyres. Do I dare risk a little ride to check all is ok. Lol
