The Retirement Thread

Come on guys, lockdown or not? I am guessing yes.

Probably a fudge of some kind.
Scots have been told not to go the England and return unless in dire emergency but will it work the other way and what is to happen with the many I saw coming to a Scottish island with few medical facilities? Will they have to go home asap as before?

Did Boris say when the news conference would be or was it the news stations? Don't believe a word they say.

This is my old winter bike I have to use till my new winter bike is ready!!!!

Cervelo is in the kitchen drying by the radiator - special permission granted. Wheels out. Full degrease. Very careful polish tonight or tomorrow and obviously an adequate lube.

She will then be tucked away in the garage for winter.

I do that for MrsD most weeks. Not sure I would be arsed for a bike.

Ah... Fireworks - I'd forgotten all about that business this year!

It sounds like someone up the hill from here is having a bonfire party. Either that, or the War of the Roses has kicked off again...

It seems that Sean Connery has died at the age of 90. No just told me.

Good morning all. My wife got up early to put up balloons and banners for my special day but , unfortunately, it will only be me and Mrs G to enjoy it. I have had loads of messages and cards from the family and can't wait to all get together again. Zoom tonight.
The children pooled together and bought me a Garmin watch, one of those that does your heart rate and loads of other things. I will study the instructions later and then wait for the weather to improve before I can try it out. I also had two beautiful blown up pictures of Molly on canvas from my wife and a 2000 pieces jigsaw of Molly from my son. I have really been spoiled and am so grateful to have such a caring and loving family.
Very wet day today.
I have heard that we will all be on strict lockdown next week. In France, they can only go out within 1km of their home or 10 minutes.
Stay safe everyone.

You get any cake!!

Thanks to everyone for their kindness. I'm certainly better that I was, the cuts healed remarkably quickly - (they always seem to, it's my one superpower) - strange how some bruises formed right away and have healed, while others are just erupting after two weeks. Why do the late onset ones hurt more? Does anybody know?

The later set of bruises can be due to the medication. Many painkillers also thin the blood, which allows "secondary bruising", as the first set caused by the impact heal. They also tend not to be as noticeable, tied in with the fact that you're watching the first ones fade.

I bimbled this afternoon, 41 miles over to Ullesthorpe and back, a straight through ride, no cafe stop, I pulled into the cafe carpark and did a u turn then rode home. The rain stopped dinner time and the sun came out so I grabbed my gear and my fixed and headed out, it was damp under foot with plenty of mud leaves and water about so I had to be careful in places but the ride out was fun with the tail wnd, but the ride home was a slog. I gt my timing right and got home for the start of Italy v England, now watching France v Ireland.
