The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Good day people. A beautiful day is dawning though at 8⁰ it feels a lot cooler.

A BIG day ahead. Granddaughter is coming for her first full day of childminding with us. Tuesday will be our regular day. We decided to do this so we see her on a regular basis and help the parents with childcare costs. My first task is to collect her at 8.00am.

Regular readers will know Tuesday is also housework day. How will this pan out?

It took me three hours to warm up yesterday after my ride. Mrs P came home from outdoor activities frozen. Ridiculous.

Granddaughter, “ Grandma, why is Grandad sleeping?” - Mrs Tenkaykev, - “ Grandad gets very tired” - Granddaughter “ Grandad, wake up, let’s build another den”” 😀😀

Good morning all, beautiful here, wall to wall forecast all day.

Morning all

We have a bit of sunshine this morning, at last.
Got to nip into Honiton for some shopping first thing, then doggie walking and lunch.

I am back. 32 mile spin done. Chilly to start but not so bad once the sun got higher in the sky.

Looking forward to breakfast now.

A Question For You

Would it be ethical/right to keep something on loan, which was listed as destroyed/put beyond any further use by water damage. Claimed for on the insurance and the claim paid out.

Items taken on loan in the week before lockdown. Building secured upon lockdown, and next entered after the damage was caused five months later. Computer records only, with all computers rendered inoperative. No records of who had borrowed anything.

No it wouldn't.

Would I do it?

Perhaps, depends what it was and who I'd be depriving.

Morning all, band practice today, so will probably cycle there and back (30 mile round trip).

Better than a club ride as there won't be any morons increasing the speed constantly

😭 Getting depressed by all this talk of rides, my arm's improving but still nowhere near ready to ride yet, I've almost written this year off. Can't wait to get back out on 2 wheels.

Good morning peeps.
At least it's not raining.
Once the dog has been walked and the domestics done, I will be out on the bike for a while to keep the legs ticking over.
MrsP has her pilates class and is then going to meet up with one of her ex nurse colleagues for lunch in St.Albans. the day is mine more or less.

Another day in paradise

 

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning folks,
It's finally stopped raining! Time to head out to the shops and stock up on a few essentials.
Mrs Tenkaykev will be back from her travels on Thursday, so I must make sure everything is tickety-boo.

Morning all...24 points on the first round of Pop Master, and a mere 21 for the second round

Mrs GM and her friend are walking the dog this morning so my turn for the housework.

😭 Getting depressed by all this talk of rides, my arm's improving but still nowhere near ready to ride yet, I've almost written this year off. Can't wait to get back out on 2 wheels.

I feel your pain!

Have a good day folks!

Depriving no-one as the replacement has been paid for and is on it's way.

I've been for a bimble this morning, I slightly extended my Birchley Heath loop and rode 25 miles. A bright sunny morning, but cold for the time of year with a brisk cold breeze, but at least it stayed dry. A slower ride than some I've ridden lately but rides to the north of Coventry usually are, its a bit lumpy in places that side, and add on the breeze slowing me down as well. it was another good couple of hours out on the bike and I'm not getting the chance to do that very often.
