The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Mixed day yesterday with a serious tragedy in the mix.
As I have bored you with, I suffer with fatigue,so in the morning I was back in bed. When I woke I had a house full. Daughter, SiL and thier friends. Lovely to see them and really enjoyed it.
Anyway..... the tragedy (serious).
When my daughter and SiL went home they heard terrible screaming from a house across the road so my SiL rushed over only to find the woman had hung herself.
She was only in late 30s with 2 young children......it really upset me.

It’s a horrible thing to see. I only dealt with it once at work and it was bad enough with a person that I didn’t know, but can’t imagine how a family member copes with it.

I like doing some of the challenges. Just a bit of fun and motivation.

I’ve done that one. Just a few climbing ones to do and that will be all the expeditions done. I’m currently on level 5 with 546 points.

One question, what's weird about any of that?

THREE problems in one day

I don;t normally DO that many things in one day - never mind have problems with them!!!!

anyway - update - Bosch speed sensor needs to be fixed by a dealer
if you try it yourself it MIGHT work OK - but if is realises it is missing or broken then it needs the Bosch software on a computer to reset it

anyway - the LBS has ordered it for £24.99 - which is right because I checked - and it should be in a few days
currently working OK due to being held on with a load of tape!!

We decided we are going to try out the kota on Saturday night with our son and his wife. I repainted the chimney flue earlier and we have plenty of charcoal. The weather won't affect us as we will be inside but it might get too hot though.

By the way, this is the Kota.

I went out with a Welsh lass, and rather went she was too.

Sadly the Welsh phrases she had taught me did not mean "good morning" or "hello" or "I love you" or "you're so special" as she had said. Nearly got my teeth kicked in thanks to that one!
