The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

I feel it is now appropriate to make a more formal appearance - one shouldn't be too sloppy and casual about these things. Good Morning to you all. Looks like a greyish, cool day with some sun is heading our way.

Today is a walking day. I look forward to these but this one will be the first serious test of my calf strain from weeks ago. I've done some flat, towpath walking but nothing more. So the picnic is packed - the picnic is as important to a walk as the cafe stop to a ride!! Lovingly crafted barm cakes, mini Melton Mowbray pie, boiled egg, crisps and an Aldi caramel wafer bar. A flask of coffee will be prepared five minutes before departure.

We are crossing the border today. Passport is up to date, visa acquired as we head to the very beautiful Malham area. I'll wave to @classic33 if I see him. We will bring all our rubbish home for the very excellent Lancashire refuse service to deal with!!!!!

Morning all, dry today. Cloudy bright as they used to say on film exposure instructions.

Why do I always laugh when I see the word faggots It's just such a strange word and always makes me chuckle for some reason.

The word faggot has many meanings, some of which we're not allowed to use these days.

Plug socket cutting out day, another 5 doubles to be fitted to the lounge as the 6 that are already in there are all in the wrong place, it seems.
