The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Crazy busy today, up early for an 8.00am appointment the other side of Oxford to have a pair of tyres fitted to the rear of our little Skoda Citigo, the originals had cracked through age. Then down to Harrow to meet a client, on to Brent Cross, home via John Lewis in High Wycombe where we collected some new curtains for our living room, and now home, feet up with a beer watching the telly.

I was tired before I read this..........now I'm exhausted

Had a nice day in the garden today.

Well - I finally got round to doing something with the shed and garden stuff

It was all a mess after the landscaping - everything dusty and covered in cement and stuff


took everything out and power washed everything that would take it
and brushed out the whole shed - which ended up with half a bucket full of dust and dirt!

then had to put everything back

shed looked tidy and pretty empty
until I put the "last few bits" in and not it is full again
but a lot of it will go back out and stay on the patio once summer really gets going

so that's all done

would have been a good day for a bike ride - but sometimes things get in the way!

I think the cycling industry is in danger of pricing itself out of the market. Some of the prices are getting a bit silly now.

Well if you want super light high performance stuff last year's model won't do.Some are prepared to pay for it.
OTOH Rohloff doesn't release a new model each year.
See also prices of cars and home appliances.

I'm going to have a reasonably early night tonight.. Three mornings of being up at stupid o'clock get a tad tiring 😴
