The Retirement Thread

[dickyknees]

Red Arrows have landed in RAF Valley and it seems we are to be treated to a practice display.

We won’t be going anywhere near the end of the runways as the place was inundated yesterday so I would imagine there will be utter chaos today.

Car MOT done.
The old girl went straight through again with one advisory, which I'll get sorted at the end of the month.
Two sites booked for the caravan.
Going to Dartmoor on Monday for a few nights, then on to Bodmin Moor for another few.
Weather's not looking brilliant, but we don't care.

Berberis thunbergii probably the variety 'Rose Glow.'

I'll leave you to decide if you're too old to move it

Youngest grandsons got their A level results today. Jake was happy, but Alex had a couple of his results downgraded. The school is appealing those. Luckily he got what he needed to go to Aber uni. His place is confirmed, his accommodation is confirmed. His grants etc are all In place. So good news overall for both of them.

My 7 year old grandson is spoilt rotten by his parents and my wife, so when I dare say something, I am the baddy and end up in the dog's house.
Best stay out of the way then, for now.

A well timed bimble. Just back as the sun has broken through and the temperature is rising.

Just started to lash it down here To be honest I have not been tolerating this hot weather very well.My own fault .Tuesday I had a short ride a16 mile circuit but stupidly decided to give it a bit of hammer Couldn’t stop drinking when I got back.Yesterday felt very rough.At my age I should have known better.

I blame Strava doing segments for over seventy fives.Current temperature 17c.Not mine but outside.
