The Retirement Thread

Had a lovely snooze cuddled up to Bruce. He's so lovely and warm.

Whatever happened to just black or white coffee. Now there is a list of 5o different names for bloomin coffee.

Anyhoo. Lamb chops, egg and chips today.

I am with you on that!, and that is before you get asked “would you like this weeks special blend from wherever”, “would you like an extra shot”, “small, medium or large”.

No wonder there is always a queue!

Phew!! Feel better for that.😊

I'm glad I never have coffee when I'm out.

While we are on the subject of coffee shops if any of you are in the Preston area and love your coffee do travel a little way out to Penwortham and visit Three Sisters Coffee Roasters its a tiny unprepossessing little cafe. The coffee, in a wide array of types, is outstanding, the cakes are all made in the little kitchen beside the counter and the toasties ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Visit on a Monday and you might meet three pedalling pensioners, one of whom you know.

I'll also recommend you The Post Office Newburgh were the coffee is sublime. I can't make the web link work.

Lagom Bakery Ormskirk no indoor seating as the coffee is an add on to the wonderful bread and cakes

Penwortham,tis where the fair Mrs P got er edukation Girls Grammar skool unlike Mr P who was as fick as a brick,and went comprehensive.

I cycle and along with my two cycling buddies on a mission to uncover the hidden gems of Lancashire cafes.

Someone once asked "Is this all you do, ride to a cafe for coffee?" What she hadn't appreciated was the cafe was 46 miles into the ride..........he who laughs last 🤣

Don't do yourself down. I went to a secondary modern all boys school, I got a pretty good edumacation😁

I've just had a 'phone call from Chase Farm hospital , I am booked in for my knee replacement surgery on the 21st of March.😳 They will put a letter in the post today.
I hope after this, once the physio is over I can still ride a bike.🤔

Hope it all goes well for you Paulus. My mate " Washing Machine Pete* " had both of his knees replaced about three years ago. A complete success, he was on his exercise bike almost straight away which certainly helped give him an excellent range of movement. He is 78 and does parkrun every week in a faster time than I can manage. The Surgeon was delighted with his progress and his words of wisdom were to keep up his running.

* There were several " Petes " in our circle of friends, I'll leave it to you to guess his occupation prior to retirement 😁

A flight of helicopters have just gone over the house, grey, military and in formation. Has it kicked off somewhere?

I've just been doing some research, (Google), and it comes up saying cycling is an excellent exercise after knee replacement. Just got to put the work in.

Good luck. Just make sure you ask for a new knee that has enough articulation to enable you to cycle .Certainly in the past, not all did.

I sincerely hope not. I hope I can say this. I think there's a strong chance things will kick off in the near future. I just hope we have the good sense to walk away.

I get/got** regular flights of 3 going directly over my house heading north. I googled it but couldn't find out where they were heading.
**not seen them for weeks now.

I am very nearly the Mach loop. Lots of jets, American and British fly over.

We also get helicopters, chinooks and lots of other planes flying directly over my house. Sometimes they do night flights. They let us know when thay is going to happen.
