The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good morning. It is wet! 😠 Not raining but has been drizzly. Everything feels very fresh. 14⁰C and I have a cycle clothing dilemma. 🤔

Congratulations from yesterday to Mr and Mrs @Paulus 🥂🥂 Which arboretum Batsford or Westonbirt?

Well guess what I'm doing today? 🚴 Sometimes I wish I could report something else, something different. Tomorrow? Housework. Feeling a bit pissed off this morning if I'm honest.

Weather permitting I will be giving the Kinesis major TLC this afternoon. After three gravel rides, +/- 160 miles, last week she needs it. Rode 252 miles in total last week.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
It's a sunny and warm start to the day.
MrsP and myself are off to the Cotswolds for a couple of days to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary which is today we got married on the 13th.

Yesterday's bbq went really well at our friends place.

Stay safe everyone

Congratulations

Why not just stay up and then you might sleep tonight?

Gosh, it's getting windy again today. I suppose I should watch the Scotland match but I can't seem to get excited about the footie much just now.

...... but I can't seem to get excited about the footie much just now.

I never could.

I think it will be a good game, evenly matched.
I will be cheering for Scotland.
