The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

I've given up on the BBC weather app as since they dumped the Met Office as information supplier the forecast has gone to pot.

Now using the MO app which is proving very accurate and frequently updates. Also started using Netweather app on @Mo1959 suggestion - too soon to comment on accuracy but the radar images work well.

Met Office says it will stop raining here for an hour or so

Radar map say it could be longer - but it looks like one of those days when rain clouds form up from nothing

BTW - I have been using Windy for weather radar

Well I'm certainly not the Sleeping Beauty. I'll give you 9/10 for spelling - missed out a "t". You could have had 10/10 but didn't show your "workings out."

........ and 🌬

The rain is on and off here. Just done some houseworky stuff. Jesus wept. Where does all the dust under the chairs come from.

80% is dead human skin.

Solution: Don't sit on the chairs.

WOWSER! I feel human. We have an alarm clock in the spare room. Someone left it set for 11.00 so it woke me. I can face the day now.

and very breezy and I'm heading up to the allotment.

Afternoon all. Feeling a little better today, a least I went out for a walk in the showers. Weather is ok now , fingers crossed as mrs exlaser is going out on her bike . Me, I am waiting in for my phone appointment with my doctor which will be after 2.30. and before 5. 00 . Good job I don’t have anything better to do. 😂😀😀

I've been shopping

 

[ColinJ]

Swedes and turnips. Both are yucky.

Def mushrooms

Not a big fan.

Was it you that I remember posting about not liking broccoli? And sprouts? And cabbage...?

It's all healthy food, and some of my favourite things to eat. What do you actually like?!

Dirk, been meaning to ask you for ages, but since you're talking about names, do you know a chap named Ronnie Newton from the East end? he was into racing in the early 70's, I think he did the Isle of Man. A mate of mine then, we used to go to Judo.

Name doesn't ring a bell.

Please do... it interests me.
BTW when I were a lad in 1963 the bike I always fancied was the Ariel square 4.
Did you ever ride one/own one ??

Only ever rode a 4G a couple of times.......but........I knew Norman Vanhouse, who had a hand in designing it; and I also knew Tim and George Healey, who built the Healey 4.

In fact, I used to drink with George every Monday night in the early 80s.
