The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Chilly but pleasant walk done. Started the car up to warm up a bit while having a coffee then will pop it round. It's probably only done a few hundred miles since the last MOT.

Good luck @Dave7 and Mrs Dave.

A cold start here. Allegedly 2 deg.

Stay safe folks.

Washing is on the line. I'm fed up but know I'm being sensible. Months ago I tweaked my left wrist, Sunday I aggravated this and after yesterday's ride I literally couldn't lift the tea pot. I've had to pull out of tomorrow's TT25 and make myself at best 50/50 for Saturday's planned gravel ride. Two rides I was hugely looking forward to.

Better safe than sorry and I must rest it.

So today I'm going to Boots for a wrist support! Barber's for a haircut. Small amount of bike fettling - remove mudguards, replace seatpost, fit bell (gravel bike). Seedlings to prick out and seed to sow.

Hi

Did anyone else watch the new 3 part psychological thriller on ITV last night....."Too Close". I thought it was good. Back on again tonight and tomorrow night.

I thought it was a good start to the story. We will watch the next two episodes.

I thought the actress playing the disturbed woman played it pretty well. I found her quite scary.

Woke up to bright sunshine and a cloudless sky. We have a weekly Veg box from a company called Able and Cole, we used to use Riverford but they got too big and the quality and value really suffered. With Able and Cole everything is of very good quality and well presented. They also do stuff like bread flour which is no more expensive than buying it from the Supermarkets. Anyway, I digress, it would seem that it has been a year since we started the veg box and todays delivery contained an extra bag. Inside was a hardback recipe book, two cans of organic soft drinks, a weekly meal planner and a Packet of Scottish shortbread 😋

Mrs Tenkaykev and I be catching the train later, we're heading off to a village Pub, the Black Bear in Wool. Big beer garden and a good selection of beers ( it's a Camra Pub ) Our friend who booked it said that the landlady said she has blankets if it gets cold, the weather is forecast to reach a heady 12 degrees and sunny. They do veggie / vegan meals as well. It will be a good way to celebrate our 25th Wedding anniversary, we were originally going to organise a wedding reunion but the current circumstances rule that out.

As an aside, I was escorted to the Wedding room by armed Police officers ( and no, it wasn't to prevent me getting cold feet and legging it 😁)

You didn't tell us you were a dangerous criminal out on home release!

If you found her scary , she must have been absolutely terrifying

You mean a bit like Line of Duty? No, I'm not OCG, it was just circumstances at the time ( though I would say that if I was a hardened criminal wouldn't I 🤔😉)

The Dr. seem a little disturbing as well.

I've managed to get out for a bimble, 21 miles, its a beautiful bright and sunny morning with only a hint of a breeze, theres flowers blooming in the fields and on the verges, blossom on the trees, its lovely but freezing cold. I did my Birchley Heath loop so it was a bit lumpy in places, I was surprised to do the loop in a hour and a half, if I'd realized I was going that well I'd put an extra loop on, rides out that side of Coventry are usually quite slow. Bikes back to its normal stealth mode now I've done the front wheel bearings. So another good ride, it was just too short.
