The Retirement Thread

[BoldonLad]

Good morning everyone. @GM I hope all is/has gone well for you. @pawl and Mrs pawl, just caught up on this one, good wishes to you both. 🤞

We had rain all night and it's still drizzling now. Slept for eight hours, that's three good sleeps in four nights. I was nackered last night after doing little all day, I don't know what I had last week but it's taking a while to get over. I'm already wondering if I should ride or not tomorrow.

It's Tuesday so we are granddaughter minding and housework day. Mrs P did all the laundry yesterday, unusual. I must go now as have to get granddaughter at 08.00

I'm 67 today - it seems to have arrived too quickly.

Happy birthday

Have to haul a 6ft mattress up a stairs today and it will be a tight squeeze , any advice ?

If it’s a new mattress and comes vacuum packed don’t do as I did and open it downstairs.After much struggling and cursing managed to get it into the bedroom Mattresses do not bend easily

Good luck

Good morning to one and all. Happy birthday to some, and I hope hospital visits go well for others. And I hope you win in the fight with the mattress.

We had rain all night here and this korning looks decidedly soggy.

Stay safe folks.

Morning all. Chucking down in North Wales today.
Still suffering from the man flu, over a week now. Headaches have gone but still got a chest full of phlegm, so much coughing which annoys the missus.

Not been on the bike for over a week now due to this. Beginning to miss it.

Good morning all from a soggy Barnet

Happy birthday to @PaulSB, the years seem to fly by.

Good luck to @GM and MrsPawl.

Todays bimble will be to Morrisons to stock up with bottles of ale, as we are off to Suffolk on Thursday with our friends at their sister in laws cottage.
With all the panniers on, front and rear I can get 20 bottles safely stowed.

Another day in paradise

Morning. Looked in earlier but nobody was about. Can't think why as it was 5am

Been for the most enjoyable spin I've had in ages. Took it really easy plus it was cooler and fresher so really pleasant.

Happy Birthday Paul.

So.....a young whippersnapper then

Walking the dog this morning and encountered a lady with a Weimeraner and she had an obvious islands accent. We got to chatting and it turns out she was born on Eigg and spent much or her life on Skye. We had a good blether and I got to use a few phrases of Gaelic, but quickly became apparent that she was fluent and I couldn't keep up. Still, made my morning.

Morning all

Off to Ilfracombe this morning.

Just a couple of snaps from this morning's bimble.

My town of Crieff in the distance in one and 2 small wind turbines over near the village I was born and brought up in.

MrsP is something of a lightweight as far as alcohol goes. One glass of Pinot Grigio per evening is enough for her.
