The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Not sure if any of our retirees on this thread follow the pro racing but a quick recommendation for Mitch Docker’s Life in the Peloton Podcast, now absorbed into The Cycling Podcast. Most informative.
Anyway, handing back to the actress discussion...

Where's this taking place then.

In Drago’s bed.

In Drago’s bed.

Definitely no chance of a silentnight there!

Sort of reminds me of the Sunday I had my heart attack. Decided to ride home when I felt better***.......... straight past Blackpool Victoria Hospital, home of the Lancashire Cardiac Centre. Less than 48 hours later I was back......the staff mentioned I could have saved everyone a lot of bother 🤔

*** I didn't know I'd a heart attack!! 😀

I was the same, I didn't realise I had had a heart attack, as the pain was mostly in one shoulder I thought I'd done the shoulder.

I spent half an hour tonight sweeping up bodies, It was amazing how many dead flies had accumulated on our window sills.

Why not the vac, get everything in one go.

Yep, I just felt rubbish, no energy and a dull ache at the back of my rib cage. So much for chest clutching!

I chose the dustpan and brush.

It was four days later when I tried to do a bike ride and couldn't that I realized it was something more, as soon as I got on my bike I was in pain and it felt like an angina attack, I went down the walk in centre waited my turn and ten minutes after I got in with the doctor he was phoning an ambulance to take me into A & E, and I was straight though A & E and straight into the cardiac ward, on the Monday I had another stent put in bringing my total to 5. I was annoyed with myself, having had angina in 2008 I should have realised on the Sunday what was going on not dismissed it as a dud shoulder.

Night all.

Hoping for a silent night!

Went for a short ride of 17 miles and 830 feet of climbing which probably occurred in stretches totalling a mile or less. My youngest son and his wife are coming up from Denver Co so there's a little tidying up to do here at Casa Squalida. Went and got some takeout for Mrs 12's birthday lunch since sitting down in restaurants aren't on her menu yet. Coming back took the pic below of a stag sauntering across the road in town. Bold as brass and would not be hurried. There are several gangs of urban turkeys here who act the same way and their toms run up to cars wanting to fight. Riding by the river this morning I saw some reddish brown object floating in the river and was wondering if I was seeing the head of a drowned ginger person until it reached the far bank and crawled up the bank, being a red fox who was swimming in the river. I've read foxes like to bathe to get rid of fleas. Sure never saw a fox swimming before.

Any sign of a gingerbread man?

My ginger son calls himself the gingerbread man

And you've seen him since you saw the fox getting out of the river?
