Make do and mend.

What is the point of bank holidays when you are retired?

None whatsoever. That's the beauty of them.

One thing I miss about being a Workie is the poo breaks. One of my favourite passtimes was calculating how much I'd earned while on the pan.

Did you keep a log......

I had the 'Poo Timer' on my smart phone. Or should I say shart phone.

Today is interesting. My Mum has a new Boyfriend. She's been a widow for a decade, so why not. He's filthy rich apparently, owns several businesses and has a real A/C Cobra, she says. This afternoon we're meeting him for the first time. We've chosen a posh restaurant to RV, far to expensive to be clogged up with Workies.

Sounds like a keeper to me. Have you thought about him adopting you?

A day off after 3 days of some good solid riding and it's raining so not too worried.
Have to do my one day of work tomorrow, then back to the grind of semi-retirement.

Easy, Derrick......the roads are really quiet if you go out early on the bike.

You where right roads were really quiet this morning, When is the next bank holiday.

 

[Drago]

I think many of the schools are back tomorrow, so the roads will be chokka with folk driving a quarter mile to drop their chubby offspring 3 feet from their desks.

The North Devon mass exodus back home starts this afternoon.
Should be fun on the M5 later.

 

[Dirk]

Might venture out on the Tarka Trail tomorrow - should be a bit quieter.....

I'm OS cut mark hunting on a disused railway track. Bike and kit in standby.

Work alert!!! I've woken to an email from a Search and Rescue team wanting me to do their cycle training for them in June. I only charge £20 plus expenses to SAR teams (my instructors insurance is £50 annually), but I guess it still qualifies as the W word.
