The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Goode morning. You are lucky ebikes have not been mentioned or @Drago will try to sell you one as well.

Lol......I am trying to resist one of them until the legs give out completely.

 

[screenman]

Be quiet.....you're selling one to me!

And me, I find myself looking everyday and everyday the amount I might spend goes up.

Morning all.
A pleasant though cool start to the day.
I got up for a pee and it was dark. I was shocked to see it was 0600......so dark.
This may not seem much but I made a veg casserole yesterday. For late lunch.......
I had 2 lots + chips
MrsD had half portion + chips.
1st proper meal for weeks. Add to that, she didn't sleep during the day.
Dare I hope we are turning a corner**
** this is just conversation....not seeking sympathy
Coffee has been enjoyed but I have no set plans for the day. We will see.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
Another sunny morning. No bike riding for me though, I have to clear the front room and then lift the carpet not only there but in the hallway, stairs and landing in readiness for the carpet fitters tomorrow.
Fortunately they are taking the old stuff away when they are finished.

I borrowed one for a weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed it both on and off road. Very comfortable and easy to throw around corners etc.

TdF question.
Has the winner been decided yet ?
Does it ever go down to the last day ?

Yes and no, respectively
Potentially the green jersey is still up for grabs and there have indeed been occasions when it has been decided on the last day. But Sagan appears to have conceded this year.

Edit - just remembered that the famous Lemond-Fignon duel was on the last day but that was a time trial not the road stage that is usually used.

Think I'll gomfor a ride on my ebike.

Another beautiful sunny morning but 6C when I got up at 7 o'clock. Could not be bothered going out as fed up with the same route all the time these days at the same time of day. Unless we get locked down again I am looking forward to getting off somewhere different to perk me up a bit.
Even the regular tourists are getting fed up with the flood of people coming here and the human excrement problem seems to be annoying them as well. They hope they go back to Benidorm next year and take their behaviour with them.

Cooeee. Seems like a nice day here today.

I heard on the news that around 260.000 people have cancelled their T.V. license and it's cost the BBC about 40 million pounds. I bet a lot more so the same thing in the near future.

Stay safe folks.

If I was on my own the TV would go, I can get most of what I watch on catch up.

It's really just a procession today. Now that we know the winner, I'm not sure I will even bother watching...........anyway, it clashes with Countryfile!

I don't think the highlights are on till tomorrow.

Don't forget to brush off the cobwebs from your other bikes when you come back.

 

[Drago]

Get your ebike running,
Get out on the highway,
The battery to adventure,
The charge will go my way,
Oh darling gonna make it happen,
Take the charger in a loving embrace,
Select maximum assist at once and,
Hum slowly into space...
