The Retirement Thread

The bedding is in the washing machine. It should dry quite quickly in this weather.

Good Morning. A flying visit for this morning. Bright and sunny which is ideal allotment weather. I've been awake for hours!! Two hours ironing done, floors to sweep and mop then exercises and allotment. That's why it's a flying visit. I've just had bacon and eggs. The key board needs a wipe down now! Bugger. Another task.

Allotment wise I'm envious of you guys planting, sowing etc. No point in thinking about that for three weeks up here, we only just have bud burst on the trees.

Don't mention the football. 👋👋

Why would you want to dry your washing machine?

Riverside trail walked. Surprisingly busy with several other walkers and a few runners.

I might watch some of the indoor athletics.

While I was walking Bruce I looked at a few things with my Parish Councillors hat on that a few residents had moaned about, and not one was as reported.

You are starting to sound like classic now.

 

[Drago]

Well, you never see us together!

The sun is starting to break through here. Its supposed to be 16 deg and sunny all say.

Sunny all say, and you believe them?

Is that a bad thing?

Well, you never see us together!

True!

Weeding & trimming a bush or two has been done.. I intend cutting the grass this afternoon, possibly..

Watched some athletics and had some cheesy Scrambled eggs for lunch. Quick cuppa and browse then I’ll head out for an hours wander before getting back at 2 for the afternoon session of athletics.

Well - I've been to B&Q and got some 6 inch nails for hanging things in the new shed

I was thinking about a ride - but I had
a) better get the shed more sorted out
b) better sort out the gears before I go for another ride - they are VERY stiff and change "at some random point in the future" rather than when I clikc the clicky thing
c) the grandkids MIGHT come down. I have not seen them since before my birthday and we were told that they would come down "later in the week"
and we normally take the oldest climbing on Sundays

however - unless we puch things with the grandkids then naff all tends to happen
but if they come down when I am an hour away onmy bike then I will be in trouble!!!


anyway - so bike gears first then nails in the shed I suppose

Can you clad a shed I wonder? I have an 8'x12' shed that's basically sound but the boards have started to shrink on the sides and the bottom of the door has started to rot in one place. It's a solid timber frame so I was pondering on how to rescue it.

Bonjour. Beautiful day here.
I washed the car this morning so that Mrs G can have a clean car to drive when I am away next week.
Flying at 9.45 tomorrow morning and back next Sunday.
I also took advantage of the weather and did a 23 kms ride earlier.
