The Retirement Thread

I've never looked at it.

You haven't missed much. Everything there is mundane obviously

 

[Paulus]

Ive popped in there occasionally with a bit of mundane nonsense.

But that thread is 6 months older.

And that one is full of uninteresting Crap Twaddle.
This one is for the more mature, intellectual, intelligent, good looking members

Washed all the bikes ready to hang back up in a nice clean garage. Forgot I slipped 20 miles on the bike as well today, third time I have done that in the last 4 days, I also keep catching myself looking online at gravel bikes, the enthusiasm is growing for the bike again.

Morning. Up and with We are in for a windy day with occasional showers. Not sure what to be up to.

Morning all, got us both booked in for a swim at 8.45am first one for 6 months, it will not be easy as I find it hard after a layoff.

 

[Paulus]

Morning all early risers.
Still dark outside.
I shall be out with the dog soon for an hour or so, and then around and about on the bike picking up a few bits and pieces.

Another day in paradise.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Morning everyone. It's cloudy with the occassional bit of sun peeking through the cloud. Very still.

Today we are walking a section of the Witton Weavers Way - Witton is an area of Blackburn which used to house many cotton mills. Our target is to walk the length of the circular walk in stages over the coming months.

Currently drinking and catching up on episodes of The Bridge Mrs P has watched but I haven't. Can't work out how this has happened. Then will be time to make our picnic and do a few light domestics before we set off.

Good morning fellow retirees,

Sipping my first coffee of the day and watching a coupe of hardy swimmer braving the waters of the Firth of Forth.
A walk in to town is planned as Mrs Tenkay wants to go shopping for clothes.

Walking up the Royal Mile yesterday we passed a couple of the tourist shops selling Scottish memorabilia. Seeing all the various Tartans started a train of thought. @Drago has told us of his Scottish ancestors, perhaps his Y fronts are in Clan Drago Tartan, the coarse woollen weave having woven itself into his body hair over a period of time, making their removal nigh on impossible.🤔

Any musings on the design of the Tartan?

Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚴‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏃‍♂️🚶‍♀️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

First of all.....thank you all for your best wishes.
Scan is complete and shows everything is fine (apart from one dead kidney which happened during my cancer op).
Problem is I am no nearer to the cause of the problems.
Whatever it is affects both of us.
We have an inspector coming Tuesday to test our water supply in case there is somehow any contamination.

I have had one kidney since 1981 so you can survive on one no problem.

I borrowed a gravel bike for a weekend and was impressed.
