The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good afternoon all.
The rain has finally stopped.
I've had a lazy day really, an hour on the turbo I cleaned the grill pan and racks, breaking the light bulb cover as I unscrewed it. 😡 I've ordered a replacement from the Bay of E.
Then I have watched a few programmes on the iplayer.
I have just got back from todays second dog walk. And soon MrsP is off to her floristry course.
Another day in paradise.

A neighbour In the village is going private to have a cataract done as they said it could take 18 months before they have a space for her. She is 85 and said she might not be here in 18 months so she's having it done. It will cost around £2,500.

Tired.

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

Feeling carp

throat is feeling like it is getting sore
I have a headache
and I feel listless and generally rubbish

I am blaming a hangover from the Covid jab

did manage to wash the car to see if some activity might help

Just made nine individual apples pies

but there is about 20,000 of us.Now dont go and spoil it by putting fancy wrapping and some dodgy logo on.It seems some Yank had a similar idea and it got laughed at.So who gets first dibs at these pies then.

along with a coffee £6 certainly worth the price

Six squid for a coffee i thought a certain place in Manchesater was having a laugh with the price of puddings,beers nearly £7 and puddings nearly £8,I did not partake,

Ladies and Gents of the Retirement thread, after 42 years and 2 months in the same industry, which I joined from school back in what feels like Victorian times, I am, finally, retiring at the end of this month.

As such, I would like to put my formal application in, that, from 1st November 2024, I am allowed to join your kind company.

Thank you (although I fully appreciate, you may not want a complete reprobate like me).

Hi Paulus, I've been on Cyclechat for donkey years, but felt it correct to request admittance to THE thread 😄

I have 10 commuting opportunities by bike left, after 48 years of cycle commuting to senior school and then work.
