The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Good morning all.

It looks less of a day out there than yesterday. I had trouble getting off to sleep last night, when I did I was woken by Danni moving about early this morning. She's already out on her bike, while I'm just thinking about breakfast. I might well bimble, but I'm expecting to see that she's been further and faster than me as increasingly happens.

Have the best day you can. xx

Lower the pressure in her tyres by about 5psi, it'll slow her down a bit.

I usually pump her front one up extra hard and lower the pressure in the back - that way she's going up hill all the time.

(Anyone know why emojis have stopped working?)

Looks like we'll be having new neighbours soon - just checked on the estate agents site and next door is listed as 'Sold'.
Nice to know how much ours is worth.

Now thats where you're going wrong, its all that hard work that's making her fly.

T'were the single toilet that swung the deal. No need for two in such a small house. We reckon it'll make a great little holiday let this summer.

Bookings already being taken.

Try it the other way round in that case, make it seem as she's going downhill forcing her to slow down.

Funny thing is as much as I try, I just can't seem to manage to stop her disc brakes from rubbing - evil grin - (bloody emojis won't work)

@monkers - I'd get a bit more creative and put a youth cassette on.

(bloody emojis won't work) Works for me

I thought about filling her frame with lead shot - but I think I've already been cautioned that it might just make her stronger.

Good morning. Looks like a half-decent day out. I'll visit No 2 son a bit later as I think he's done something to both his phone and tablet which prevents him calling us. It happens from time to time but usually I can monitor things closer when I pick him up for the football.

I'll have to sit on the doorstep to do this.

No other plans and to be honest not much else to say. Feel good, perfectly happy but well that's how it is today

@Dave7 any news?

Hi Paul.
They are keeping her in all next week and operating towards next weekend.
Thay say they will be giving her physio throughout the week but they have been saying that for 8 days now

I have just had breakfast.
Guess what it was......go on guess.
You give up?
OK,, it was banana and custard.
I cannot remember when I last had that but it was very enjoyable.
Lunch will be mixed salad with ham, boiled egg and maybe a bit of cheese.
I hope this is my appetite returning

Good morning all fellow virus dodgers.

Todays highlights will be a bimble to the local shops, I fancy a lamb steak for dinner with mash, peas and carrots. MrsP wants me to get a cooked chicken, she's not keen on lamb. I also need some fresh fruit and vegetables.

Milan San Remo on the telly later, and I will partake of a few ales whilst watching.

The grass needs cutting, again, maybe a job for tomorrow.

Stay safe everyone

Lamb can be very fatty, which I don't enjoy but the flavour is superb.

I like banana and custard too, but maybe not for breakfast! Still, if it's what you fancied and gets you eating, that's great.
