The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

I'm sorry Dave, but you can't do that!

It'll be closed for the weekend.

Open today.

It could be either

I think the devil may have a claim.
I have no proof but I fear its true

Oh bugger
I have the changes of time
It was all OK - but I have a DAB alarm clock radio

which is great - sounds good and works fine
unless the time changes
sometimes - like last time - it changes automatically
sometimes it "can't" change because the DAB radio bit is not on and that is where it gets the time stamp from

When I used to work it sometimes stayed at the "old time" until the radio came on at the set time on MONDAY morning
when it saw the new time and changed it
which was not a good design feature

If I need an alarm on this sort of weekend then I use my phone as well!!

Also - it means that I wake up and look at the clock and then start worrying about what the time REALLY is???
which wakes me up more


At least I do not have to change the clock on my now-wife's cooker anymore since she moved in - never could remember how to do it and she would just leave it wrong for 6 months - so I had to spend several minutes trying all possible sequences and timings of 3 buttons!!!
WHICH IS AGAINST THE NATURAL LAWS AND THE LAWS OF THE GODS!!!!!!!
Or might just annoy me


however I do have to engineer a situation where I can change the sister-in-law's cooker other wise it will annoy me every time we go round - her 2 sons, daughter and husband don't see the point!!!

Anyway - who said I was weird???????

Tom soup and fresh bread today

I’ve just had tomato and rice soup with bread too.

I squeezed in another little wander and just got back as the sky went dark and we got another short but heavy shower.

I have a strange fancy for eggs, chips and sausage. Maybe a slice of bread n butter.

Add a few grapes, in natural form, and some decent ham and you have a good lunch.

Been out on the bikes with Mrs FoE, was very black at various points but only got wet once, and that not very much. Lots of strong sun from time to time too. A couple of races to watch this afternoon, from Netherlands and from Spain.

I'm hearing reports of " handbags " at Poole parkrun this morning. Over 1000 attendees so understandably a bit of a tailback in the finishing funnels which led to frustration and a bit of pushing and shoving 😮
That used to be my regular venue, I've both run it and volunteered on a couple of hundred occasions but it was getting too busy so I switched to a closer, more challenging and more scenic venue.

Morning folks the old back is recovering but seems to be taking longer than it usually does....May try a cautious ride today and have raised my bars a bit, if pain returns with a vengeance i'll throw myself in the loch
Have decided on my future bike when funds allow....either a Thorn mercury or a Shand stoater, probably the Thorn as i was impressed with their knowledge and customer care. Retro BRG with toe clips should look great

Err Thorn has discontinued the Mercury but there may be one left in your size so get round quickly.
I have a Mercury, it's a great bike.

I have a Mercury, it's a great bike.

Oh dear it was still on their site recently, perhaps theyre having a model freshen up. Anyway as long as they provide a bike for this category all will be well...

Good evening all.
At the moment I am listening to the radio with a bottle of Italian Montipulciano to keep me company. 🍷
MrsP has gone to Sadlers Well theatre to see a ballet with a friend.
The film ''On the waterfront" was on the telly earlier so I will watch that.
