The Retirement Thread

So.......if there is absolutely no rain forecast why is it hammering down ?

Morning all, windy again today. A bit of blue sky but mostly cloudy. More showers forecast, I’ll try to get a ride in before they arrive.

Yesterday’s Tour stage was a bit of a zinger !

Morning all...As Paul said a bright start to the day, so hopefully a productive day, may even get a ride in later.

Going dull and overcast here and looks like it's going to rain. Quite cold as well

Bonjour tout le monde. It is Mrs G birthday tomorrow so we are going to see George in Asda to buy her some new clothes, as this is what she wants. Restaurant booked for 1pm tomorrow too and will get flowers and card later.
Have a good day tout le monde.

Most of the time we have at least one vase of flowers in the house, I usually buy them when doing the supermarket shop.

My son buys me flowers for Christmas and my birthday.

I do find your discussion of portion size interesting since even now restaurants in this place are judged by how much you can eat and secondly how good it is. There's a place in the booming metropolis of Hudson, pop. 300 that serves a relish tray, dinner rolls, pirogies, cabbage rolls, an iceberg lettuce salad and then a 72 oz steak. I was groaning before the steak and baked potato arrived and mine was a puny 16 oz t-bone. The worst of it was it was all really good so all the preliminary stuff was too good to eschew. Get it, eschew?
Today it was 35C with snow on Monday so Mrs 12 wanted to go to the lake. (Actually a reservoir caused by damning a river....most natural western lakes are tiny). So we did and I took a few pics. This area has yielded a lot of dinosaur fossils, mostly from the layers of red rock. I didn't get a pic but the iridium layer which supposedly was created by the meteor hitting the earth and causing the great extinction is clearly visible. This being the beginning of the Labor Day weekend and every space was filled with giant trailers, each with a noisy generator going full blast. This place is about 30 miles from our front door. And yeah, it took me all afternoon to get that rock on the other one in the first pic .

You even carved them so they'd sit closer to each other.
