The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

The designers of these games virtual cycling experiences could really have some fun with adding realistic Hebridean touches. Driving wind and rain, midges, ferry crossings, delayed/cancelled ferry crossings, midges, finding everything closed because it’s the Sabbath (certain islands only), and not forgetting the midges Such fun . There’s a few good things too

Oh but it is so beautiful. I've ridden from Barra to Stornoway and until I got there had no idea there was somewhere so stunningly beautiful in the UK.

I rattled on about it so much four French friends insisted I take them the following year.

Well what an exciting ride!!! On the way home decided to have a dig at a local climb. I'm approximately 0.25 mile from the start, cooking on full gas at 25+ downhill.........and the friggin' Waste Collection Operative crosses the road 20 metres in front of me. I screamed at him, he stopped, I missed him by inches, and then he called me two words beginning with f and c......for cyclists.

Housework and supermarket next...

Geeeez

I said my letting agent were useless – knock on the door “Hi I've come to repair your ceiling”, but they haven't repaired the leak yet !!!! this guy has just driven 22 miles to get here and now has to go back again.....he was not happy

I bet he was even less happy when you answered the door in your birthday suit! Hopefully a signed copy of Tales From Topographic Oceans will calm him down.

I would not open the door naked to anyone, I know many on my naturists forum do as they say I have a “right to be naked in my house”, but for me I show respect for them so I normally grab a dressing gown.

You hang a dressing gown on your love lolly?

Had a few problems which have taken most of the day up (just put a thread asking for help/advice) so not been on to speak to you oldies
Re my herbal tea** this morning..............it was not too bad. I have also started to drink more water. When I worked from home I drank lots but have developed the bad habit of going without.
**I will definitely try it again tomorrow.
@Mo1959 do you use 'tea bags' type of brew from the leaf....that seems a bit of a faff to me.

Thats it! Job done! Our through lounge is as empty as I can get it, I've run out of space, boxroom is full, back bedroom is full and the kitchen is full, I've left just enough room in the kitchen to access the fridge, food cupboard and bin and thats it. All thats left in the lounge is my computer table and the big unit.
