The Retirement Thread

[Juan Kog]

OH-NO what have we started, this could become as angry and bad tempered as N & CA The smoothies versus the crinkly wrinklys .

If wearing a jacket, do you just iron the front of the dirt and the cuff?

I have done that , then when the day unexpectedly warmed up I had to keep my jacket on at work.

I iron everything, except towels as it flattens the piles

Piles ,You can get a cream from the chemist .

By the way, Thank you is the correct spelling and usage. Two words, not one!

ps - Morning

And less effective at doing the job they were bought for. Add conditioner, when washing them, and they're next to useless.

Owdo

Does that include your undies ??
Ohh, sorry, you don't wear them .
Do you iron your own wrinkly bits??

Heat tends to aggravate piles I think. Cold compresses are the answer.

Sit on a bucket of hay*, old country remedy.

*Granted, it may be harder find in a city centre, but not impossible.

One questiom
WHY ?
Who the hell is going to see your bed linen??
MrsD would religiously iron eg handkerchiefs until I got her to see it really doesn't matter.....life really is too short.

Nobody will see my bed linen, but theres something very nice about slipping between freshly ironed sheets, more so if I've not long been out of the shower.

I've been for a bimble this morning, 32 miles with warm sun on my back and bird song filling my ears, its a cracking morning for a bike ride, I've ridden my Claybrook Pava loop, and at a good pace for me, got back having averaged 14.2 mph, I don't do that very often, last Saturdays ride averaged 13mph. I was in shorts for the first time this year, needed a base layer and a long sleeved top at first but by the time I'd turned for home it was warm enough to to have got rid of both.

On the way back I rode into Monks Kirby turned past the Denbigh Arms and noticed they had got the wellies on the fence again, they put them up and the local children plant them up.

Morning all... Just spent a delightful 45 minutes at the Podiatrist, my feet feel brand new now. I think that's going to be a Saturday morning treat every couple of months for me

Have a good day folks!

Not something I’ve tried yet myself, but always remember my mum saying how good it felt after going.

Well done. Same distance as me earlier. I find it’s just a nice distance without being too tiring. My average was up this morning too, but it was the good carbon bike that was responsible and not my legs!

I'm not normally someone who likes being pampered but it is a rare treat though. You should try it Mo!

Don't think I've worn a jacket since I retired.
