The Retirement Thread

[pawl]

Yeh the hills are full of them, and bears too and don't mention the sheep, they are the worse, they don't understand the Highway Code and walk on the roads as if they owned them. Better off in bed at this time of night, at least I can reflect on my ride, it might send me to sleep.

Hills round here are much nicer there full of the Sound Of Music

Morning all

A day to avoid the beaches judging by the sound of the amount of traffic heading that way.
Our beach car park was full by 11am yesterday and was still full at 7pm. That's busier than at the height of the season! Hopefully, things will tail off a bit once the initial 'escape lockdown' frenzy has settled down.
So glad that I booked our 3 weeks away, in the caravan, well before the sites were told they could open. Most sites are fully booked now.

Hills round here are mostly filled with the sound of panting cyclists, I'm planning to head for Willoughby this morning, mostly a rolling route, just Mill hill and Huningham hill that qualify

Morning.

Im nearly a full time member of the team, my proposed retirement date is 31st July.
Retired at 47 and 7/8s.
I’ve had to have umpteen operations and other issues to get to this position so I don’t really consider myself lucky but I’ll be making the most of it!

onwards and upwards..

I have opened all the doors and windows, shut the curtains and have a fan going already.

Up at 0630 and a nice looking morning. Washing machine on while having breakfast for an early start. Coffee done and ready to go. Flashes of lightening and thunder followed by heavy rain so change of plan. Good job I have a tumble drier as no point in putting anything out to dry outside.
However facebook tells me The Glass Barn will be restocked with bacon, hams and hopefully black pudding at 1100 this morning so need to get revved up to get there promptly before it is all gone.

I changed my mind about walking and decided to have an early spin instead while it was still relatively cool. Over across to my old village and stopped for a lovely catch up with one of the increasingly few people I still know from growing up there.

Weetabix time now. If I want any more exercise I can have a leisurely stroll later.

We could be in for some stormy weather this afternoon.

Morning all... Up early to put the towel out on the sunbed, pretending I'm on the Med . Back to bed with a cup of and do the daily Sudoku challenge until 8.30. Out shortly with Alan🐶 for a run, Alan not me!

Would that be what they mean by the rhythm of the night, or is that something else.

2 x 3 foot deep fence post holes dug so far and 1 to go, the thermometer thingy attached to the fence I am working next too is saying 32 whatevers, it is very nearly beer time. I think maybe I did not choose the best day this week for digging holes and putting up fencing, but I seldom get things right so no need to change the habits of a lifetime.
