The Retirement Thread

[12boy]

In my country the police are likely to be the source of violence. Drago, sorry to hear about your bloodwork. Hopefully my diabetic tendency is controlled by starving myself. Yesterday I was almost out the door for a ride on my 4th favorite bike when I had the first real episode of Menere's disease in many years. Within minutes the vertigo was bad enough I could no longer walk. By taking diuretics and drinking a lot of water it eventually abated. I had hoped to be past this crap but apparently not. So today I will go on yesterday's ride. #4 bike is another folder....Here's a pic of the little devil. Same wheelbase as an average hybrid although it looks stubbier.

They're fairly cheap as well. From £5 - £25.

I'll say it won't all have been football supporters either. University just up from there, pubs on two of the three sides and the hospital on the far side.

Our daughter was a MH Nurse at Jimmy's and I think one of the wards overlooked the Square ( might be misremembering)

Just mowed both lawns. Doesn't sound much but the way I have been feeling....that is good.
Felt better yesterday....not as weak or wobbly and even better today (apart from the self induced hangover).
I can even feel a bike ride coming on. Not tomorrow but maybe Wednesday. Heres hoping.

What a difference a day makes although the time is also a factor. After a nice peaceful run yesterday today was totally different and convoys of cars and motorhomes heading in the Dervaig direction. Only one frustrated local pickup and all the rest were strangers. I was probably more of a problem to them than the other way round as I held my position in the centre of the road to the next passing place tho' the way they accelerated past indicated their feelings.
According to my neighbour the Main Street is choked with traffic as he was trying to do some food shopping but just gave up as large groups of tourists were in front of him but going into the shop one at a time We just have to hope that when the virus appears here as given the numbers it seems inevitable that the Coop shop is not involved as that would be it shut for probably a couple of weeks.
Cheery soul ain't I.

Sad. These people are so selfish. Just care about themselves. Are they not capable of seeing what the massive results could be.

In Snowdonia they were packed in like sardines. The roads were blocked by parked cars on both sides of the road.

Following on from posts about motorhomes I just lifted this off our local FB. The two spots nearest the phone box are blue badge only.

Parking is end on to the railings. Wonder why some want to ban them from Main Street?

You are, St. James is outside the city centre. It's the Infirmary nearby.

Finished off the last 2 episodes of Mrs America this evening, still not understanding the half of it but utterly enthralling nevertheless, well worth the effort. And quite an education, well for me anyway !

Morning. Still up with the larks.

Hair cut after lunchtime. Looking forward to getting it chopped but not sitting with a mask on for the duration. They make me feel a bit claustrophobic.

Morning all, looking nice today. Cutting out the new plug sockets is my planned excitement today along with a couple of dents to play with, have fun.
