The Retirement Thread

[oldwheels]

Bloody hell OW......you really love those holiday makers don't you

In moderation I have no problem with them but nowadays they are in large numbers and inevitably some of them bring their ill manners with them. As I have said before they seem to regard us as a theme park and everything is for them and they do not need to conform to normal behaviour. The fact that people live here who do not serve the tourist industry never seems to enter their heads.
Just to demonstrate that I have not lost all sense of humour I rather liked the Janey Godley/Nicola Sturgeon sketch tho' I suppose you have to understand the accent.

Brekkie eaten, first trip back to the car with 4 large bags of shopping done, now got to go and find Pam again, TK Maxx at a guess as she loves a jumble sale.

I only buy from fleabay now if I am desperate. Just about everything on there comes from China. Either that or the item you order and the one you receive bear no resemblanceto each other at all. The whole place is a rip off.

You can normally tell if an item is coming from China or elsewhere by the time it will take for delivery. If the item is in the UK, delivery will be fairly quick. From overseas sometimes a couple of weeks.
Many of these companies from overseas will have an address in the UK for the order, not always a physical address, but just a website.

Off to Donny for brekkie this morning, seems a long way to go but it is worth it.

You realise of course, that with Doncaster being part if Scotland, legally, you are not allowed to travel there.

Just found out I've not yet joined!

We're shopping in Nuneaton, currently having lunch in the Cafe Lounge.

Walked around Warbstow hill fort this morning. Built around 2500 years ago and abandoned in the 1st century ad.
It's the 2nd largest and best preserved in Cornwall.

Currently in the Archer Inn at Lewannick 'avin a spot of lunch.

The version I saw on twitter had sub titles for the hard of hearing.

Postie bringing these today for the MTB. Save some of the crud coming up hopefully.

I had some very similar for years on my MB and never had any problem with them. They certainly keep the majority of the muck away from you.

Back ‘home’ in HMP Lothian, the doors clanged shut behind us as we crossed the Forth. Perthshire seemed to be getting an absolutely glorious morning as we passed through, but grey and damp here. I don’t suppose we’ll be able to have another trip away until late Spring at the earliest.

I need an afternoon nap.
Back to the van, cuppa tea and a bun, heating on and...................relax.

Sadly, I couldn’t be bothered going out to enjoy it. Must make more effort tomorrow.

Oh, I see Rangers beat Celtic today. Thought I heard a cheer from across the road. They must have been watching.
My team St Johnstone beat Hamilton 5-3.

Got back from my ride about an hour ago. We got lost - spectacularly lost! Twice! The planned 50 miler turned in to 76 Four adults, total cockup.
