The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Even I didn’t manage to decipher that one!

Nice now after a bit of overnight rain. Just the riverside trail this morning. Not sure what the rest of the day holds as no doubt the usual haunts will get busy being the weekend and decent weather.

What the heck was that. I have no idea either

God I hate summer. Thought my ankle was itchy and looked and a bloody tick in it.

How did you remove it ?

I’ve lost the removal tool I had for the dog I think so just had to do my best with tweezers. Not sure if I’ve left a bit in. I’ve sent away for another tool.

I don't recall reading of anyone from my area being affected but I know some areas of Scotland are and it can be a very bad thing.

Some years are worse than others. Don’t know how they even find their way in as I wear leggings and always have socks on. Hate them.

We always had dogs when I was a kid - mostly spaniels

however they only managed to get a tick once - I remember my Mum just touched a lit cigarette to its tail end and it let go

dunno if this is a recommended technique - apart from the whole smoking thing obviously

Anyway - I was planning a ride today - was going to try to work out why Strava has failed to log my last 2 rides while I was at it

Anyway - turns out that we are taking the grand-daughter indoor climbing instead

SWMBO has also found an archery club since she was asking about it when she came back from a school trip
dunno why she keeps being interested in the few sports I have tried and KNOW I am totally unsuited to !!!

You need needle point tweezers then a dab of tea tree oil. You have probably left the head in if you used ordinary tweezers.

I used to own a real proper bow with real arrows and a target board.
I was never any good......and it can really hurt your fore arm when the string hits it.

Yes, I’ve sent away for some in case it’s a bad year for them again. I heard rubbing alcohol works too? I’ll get something just in case.

I also wonder when or if I will run out of tears, not for a very long time I expect, in a way it broadcasts to others how much we loved our wives and still do. I love your last line, it made me smile.

It is nearly nine years since Marta died and it still feels like it happened a couple of weeks ago.

Its a hell of a lot easier with a crossbow
