The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good morning all fellow virus dodgers.
Another grey start to the day.
It's 0 degrees outside, forecast for a high of 1.
Second mug of tea being drunk whilst watching last nights MOTD.

Dog walking to be done and a turbo session later.

Day three of dry January, all ok so far😄.

Stay safe everyone

Morning all

Groundhog Day.....again.
Main highlight of the day is we're having roast Goose for dinner this evening.

Oh dear so you’re going to “ Cook Your Goose”

 

[BoldonLad]

I have drunk coffee, perused the Internet and done sod all else.

You mean there are other things to do?

 

[welsh dragon]

I think we are having braised beef today....or something else maybe

Think my goose was cooked a long time ago.

Good Morning All, about zero degrees here and with another cm of snow from earlier this morning.
Nothing planned for the day.

6.8 mile hilly trail walk done. It was hard going. As a cyclist, it pains me to say that I think mountain bikes are ruining the trail using it in the winter months. All the muddy sections are deep channels and high ridges where their wheels have been and they are currently frozen so it's incredibly hard even to walk without going over on your ankle. Running would be impossible I think.

Very cold so definitely porridge this morning and a nice hot cuppa.

We have the same issue in my area. As a cyclist I despair at some of the behaviour I observe on cyclepaths, tow paths, shared use paths.

We have a lot of footpaths which have been ripped up by people on MTBs.

Honestly think it would be better if they could keep off them at this time of year and maybe just use them April to October when it's firmer and drier.

Good morning everyone. Light cloud, sun, no breeze and +2⁰C here. No sign of frost. Hoping to get a two hour ride in around lunchtime.

Meanwhile it's breakfast and ironing.

Anyone for skating

This would certainly be a good start as much damage is caused in winter months.

As a walker and cyclist it winds me up no end on shared use trails when two things happen. A rider approaches from the front, makes no effort to slow and clearly expects me to stand aside. The other is a rider who approaches from behind without a sound until I hear the wheels. I'm happy to move for anyone who acts reasonably.

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

Not something I ever divulge but sometime between 1930 and 1940.

Hello peeps.
Cold......1° at the moment.
I got up at 0700 and heard a voice from under the duvet saying "get back.....I've just turned over for a cuddle". So 2 hours later I am up .......call me Mr willpower .
Re food....I have no idea.
