The Retirement Thread

I need another jacket like a hole in the head but just received this

I think it will be perfect for brisk walking/jogging when it is cool but not freezing. Windproof quilting on the front but a lighter breathable material on the back. Two external and two internal pockets too which are always useful.

Right, going out to give the car a wash.

Not sure whether to try and cut the grass before it rains, it is getting a bit darker outside, or procrastinate and leave it for another day.

The latter

Definitely the latter.........from a World Champion procrastinator!

Good day to you all. A very hard frost last night. 0⁰ in the sheltered backyard so I suspect it's around -2⁰ to -3⁰ in the open. Glorious sunshine, clear sky and breathless.

@Mo1959 how is the wrist? @dave r @Dave7 how are the Mrs Ds?

Nothing urgent to do. The new systems put in place for club rides seem to be working. I might look at a few tweaks people have suggested but only those which can be automated. It's been nice to get a few thank you messages on this as it confirms people are happy.

Need to change the seat post on my Kinesis. Might clean the bikes, their not dirty, just for pleasure. I do need to do a full chain, cassette and rings degrease. I've bought some Squirt lube to try.

A word of warning. If you're ever doing a Google search to find a supplier of Squirt lube be sure to include "bike" in your search term............either that or spend ages clearing your search and browsing history.

Haha, reminds me of the time Mrs Tenkaykev was searching for a bike helmet to match her purple Brommie 😄

Just done a load of washing and my washing machine was making a hell of a racket, no not Mr WD, an actual washing machine


It is about 15 years old now, so I might have to invest, in a new one. Depends on whether Mr WD can fix It.

15 years is probably quite good in these days of white goods obsolescence.

I live in unsurfaced gravel lane so I have to wait for rain to lay the dust , otherwise it’s a waste of time car washing .

Car cleaned. Paused part way through to allow a hail shower to pass.

It was just a wash and leather, a quick glance at the vaccy, and check the underbonnet levels. Only took 45 minutes, but I'm bushed and feel dizzy.

Ive got some heavy health sheet going. Im trying to fight it but its quickly grinding me down. I hope to be able to reveal more inside of 2 weeks once the specialist confirms which way its going.

Bloody miraculous I’d say Mo, what with having to cope with Welshies bloomers on a regular basis.

My rule for life , don’t do today what you can put off till tomorrow.
Paulus I joined the NUR instead of ASLEF , because I was told NUR stood for no use rushing.

Small pole in the ground, attach a rope to it and the mower and make your own "crop circle".
