The Retirement Thread

[screenman]

Its much more fun earning money feet up listening to The Archers with a cold Guinness.

That is just not me, feet up is a real no go.

Maybe you're in the wrong thread then?

I need a part time job where I can put my feet up. Mattress tester, hammock engineer, British Gas Customer Service, something like that.

I am semi retired compared with my younger days.

On a serious note for a second - not like me at all - ive no feeling in ring finger and pinkie on my right hand, so typing can be hit and mish.

Hey ho! S'pose I better get up and see what's happening in the world.
Bit of shopping, dog walk, cycle ride and then lunch.
Probably watch the cycling World Track championships this avo.

Well, cleaned up the rocking chair with 0000 wire wool and a wipe of tung oil. New cushion ordered.

Phew! Nacked now. Enjoying a coffee before tackling the garage.

No riding today as shoulder is stiff and achy. I seem to be managing OK riding every other day at the moment, so will ride again tomorrow. I'll probably do an early morning blast round the forest tomorrow before the bank holiday wallies descend upon it. @PeteXXX is welcome to join in.

after yesterdays extreme return to work (currently working one day per week) I am back to normal behaviour: breakfast, dog walk to the shop to buy some bread followed by second attempt at breakfast!

This afternoon I am off to my LBS to pick up my new bike and this evening we have a cycle club wine tasting :-)

 

[Drago]

Garage now tidy!

Recuperating with a cup of tea prior to looking for a job. Any potential employers reading this will see hoy dynamic and thrusting I am.

 

[numbnuts]

I'm enjoying cheese and biscuits and tea after an hour on the turbo

 

[Dirk]

I am recovering after dealing with a friend being carted off to hospital following a bike accident.

Are you a member of the annuity brigade as well, then?

 

[Dirk]

I have gradually become so over the last couple of years, it seems .

Have to check credentials.....cough, cough.....can't be too careful......imposters around donchanow......

 

[Drago]

Right, CV sent in. Garage tidied. Rocking chair finished and new cushion ordered. Damn I'm super dynamic!

Tomorrow is a very early bike ride to avoid the Bank Holiday muppets in the forest, and a little bit of touching up here and there with a paint brush. And maybe some painting too.

Mrs D's birthday tomorrow.
Arranged to take her out for a nice long walk on Exmoor with an excellent pub lunch at the end.
