The Retirement Thread

.......and he can stuff the newspaper up his jumper on the way back to keep the wind chill off like the cyclists of old did

I did that once in June it was so cold and I do not regard myself as a cyclist of old. 1956 probably.

Dry and sunny just now but still strong wind so high wind chill and snow showers forecast for later.
Tomorrow looks like a possibility for getting out but still periods of high winds.
May try leaning the trike seat back a bit more to give less wind resistance.
Temperature seems to be going to rise a bit by the weekend.

That's better. I have just added someone to my ignore list, well actually it's the only person on my ignore list .

Only one I have half the bloody fourm on my ignore list

Lol. Sounds like a good idea! Any interesting posts continually get taken over by the same opinionated few and it puts anyone else off getting involved. Safer in here

Just as all the snow has all but gone, it's started to snow again

Forecast says we could have a shower here but ok so far. Off to the supermarket shortly. I have a notion for something different but don’t know what. Lol. I will browse.

What is it about the British media? Let's make a positive in to a negative. We seem to have enormous success with these vaccines both in backing the right one and administering it.

The Guardian is reporting the MHRA are reviewing data to investigate if the AZ vaccine is safe for under 30s. There have been 18 instances of unusual blood clots in 18.1m vaccinations but the overwhelming advice is the vaccine is safe and the risk benefit is hugely in favour of the vaccine. Fair enough. Decent reporting.

A Daily Express front page headline has popped up in my news feed:

AstraZeneca vaccines could be BANNED for young Britons - UK investigates rare blood clots

I despair.

Rant over. Porridge and clean garage next.

A nice comfy pillow with an angled mirror would allow you to lie almost flat. Chop the bottom off a down sleeping bag so your feet can reach the pedals and you’ll be snug. Try not to doze off though…

Very cold and frosty here, but the great April Poshshire Snodrift of 2021, all 1 cm of it, vanished overnight.

It 'wanted' to snow here but I sent it in your direction.
I am kind like that

What sauce on/with the clean garage?
Will there be enough left for mid morning?
