The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

I went a gentle stroll before lunch. Gosh, the local park is mobbed and doesn’t look like there’s a parking space. In fact, a few parking out on the roads now so I can see chaos later when it gets even busier. I think I will just watch the cycling and avoid going back out.

Sunny but chilly day out there - we have no idea what we are going to be doing yet as we have not been up long - got to sleep around 5am this morning. Proper night owls!

Enjoy your day all.

There wasn't much traffic today. I suspect its because all the holiday makers have gone home. The kids are back at school next week. Hoorah.

Never been able to get on with cryptic crosswords

I am a bit of a more direct person and just find them annoying

I was lying in bed, listening to the radio when they said she'd been injured in a car accident.
First thoughts were it must be wrong, but if true I hoped she was okay.

Just had toast, fried egg, hash brown, haloumi and tomato. Very nice.

Well I went off and posted my letter. Only a 4 mile round trip. I am so unfit.
And to prove it, here's a photo of my bike at the post box outside the primary school

Just crank up the assistance level a notch or two.

Beautiful day here in North Wales so I have decided to go round the Great Orme for a ride in about an hour. There is also a massive meeting of Honda Goldwings on the promenade in LLandudno so will take a look at that too . Tomorrow, at 10.30 am, there will be a parade of 75 older minis leaving Rhos on Sea prom for a small tour of the coast. I guess they will all be parked on the embankment in Rhos.
It is all happening in North Wales !!

Here's some words you don't often hear from me.......

Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, tomato, beans, mushrooms, toast.........Rovers going 1 - 0 down just took the edge off that.

I was also in bed and my wife woke me with the news
