The Retirement Thread

[Juan Kog]

I have risen!

Still not feeling brilliant, so not up to riding a bike. So im going to go for a nice walk round the forest instead.

Is that your own personal forest where you hunt wild boar Elk and poachers foolish enough to venture in there.

You ever seen the film Southern Comfort...?

Morning all

Had a couple of light showers so far this morning - looks like the forecast was correct for once!
Hitching up in a couple of hours and heading home after 3 weeks of very acceptable caravanning weather.
Got to wait a whole 2 weeks before we're off again.

So.....a sh*t day yesterday.
A brief summary.
Arrived at hospital at 06.50 to be told Saturday's Covid swab was "inconclusive" so she had to take another.
3 hours later**......no results so the aenethetist opted not to operate.
They gave her some food n drink.
5 minutes later results came back GOOD.
Unfortunately because she had now eaten they couldn't operate.....so sent her home.
What a total cockup.
Should have all been over now but sadly she has to go through it all again WHEN they give her a date.
**she spent those 3 hours alone in a waiting room.... shaking and very upset. Inhumane really.

That's awful for you both. It's bad enough psyching yourself up for such an ordeal for it to be cancelled and have to go through it all again.

Nice walk done. Short rain shower to start and a chilly easterly. Just the teeniest dusting of snow on the hills that you can just about see. Lol. Bluebells are slowly appearing now too.

Morning all...Covid test done, all boxed up and ready for the courier to come and collect it, hopefully all goes well for Saturdays hospital appointment. I think that's going to be the highlight of the day, the rest of the day is tackling the Ivy that's grown up behind the shed.

Have a good day folks!

Good morning. Well it's sunny spells, grey cloud and a north-easterly. What am I supposed to wear on today's ride? Hmmmm? Gone for summer kit plus gilet, arm warmers and leg warmers. We shall see. 🤔 That I'm ready is highly unusual so mustn't hang around long or I will be.

Heading out to the Ribble Valley today and some serious climbing. To be honest the mojo is missing but hope it's in the garage.

That's about it really. Bike to ride and I don't think there's anything else I should be doing if I wasn't riding.

We have had some rain. Lots more to come today I think

Did you watch Viewpoint again last night? It's not bad. Quite like it being on every night. Not long to wait to see what happens. Lol

I did. It's quite good and like the fact that it is on each night for a whole week instead of once a week.

It’s must be frustrating when you can’t remember what happened when a whole week has elapsed since the previous episode..
