The Retirement Thread

[avsd]

Bonjour. I have some very sad news this morning. One of my brothers passed away during the night. He was 79. I am waiting to hear when the cremation is going to be so I can go over. It is likely to be early next week.

Sad news indeed. May he rest in peace. My condolences to you and your extended family.

Busy day of pleasure today.. Up at very stupid o'clock (just before 02:00!) to drive to Hathersage, Derbyshire, for a walk I'd planned t'other day..
High Neb trig point on Stanage Edge before sunrise!! 👌

Eventually, after a 12 mile hike, I got back to the car for a quick pedal around the town on the Brommie before going for a swim in Hathersage open air pool..
The water was quite chilly ❄️

Parish council paperwork done for the forthcoming election.


What right royal time consuming bureaucratic PITA, and the government wonder why they struggle to fill councillor vacancies.

and even then they still manage to appoint some right wrong uns onto ballots for elected positions!

Eventful ride this afternoon

went over the old bridge to Runcorn and along the canal
so stopped by the new Buddist statue for a quick bike photo

Then along the canal watching the mileometer carefully and saw it change over to 10000 miles since I got it!!

and froma nature point of view - saw some nice spring flowers coming up near the statue

and then later on a Kingfisher zipping along the canal and into some trees


also saw several narrow boats out on the canal


Nice ride!

But, you wouldn't be able to be on here then.

I have my 'back to the future' car so all things are possible
