The Retirement Thread

[BoldonLad]

Front of bungalow painted - 2 coats of masonry paint on the rendered portion, 2 coats of satin Duck Egg on the sills and garage door, 4" gloss black weather line around the base. Looking good.
Tomorrow I shall tackle either the rear of the bungalow, or the front garden wall. Haven't decided which yet. The rear is a bigger job, but I absolutely hate painting the wall. Will make a decision in the morning.

Well done!

I need a lie down after reading that

No .I have just rung the body shop but there out limbs.They have had a run on limbs from CCers chopping limbs off and dumping them in their bins

Body Shop, don't they just do the cosmetic side of things?

And I do!

And I do!

I suggest you nip to the village for a pint.

Taking of saddles the other day, I bought one of these a couple of months ago for the eye watering sum of £3.50, brand new. So I thought I'd try it out on the turbo bike set up. Surprisingly it's not too bad at all, quiet comfy. Not expecting it to last long ....

I would hate to use that on a naked bike ride

That was unnecessarily cruel.

Good grief, I'm going to have an early night.........and possibly a lay in followed by a recovery ride.

I’ll hop down there and see.

You could stock up at the off-licence.

I've already stocked up from my local brewery.

Nicky Reid (ex Blackburn Rovers and Man City midfielder) owns a local pub and lives in our village. Pub is closed obviously.

Earlier today he donated a cask of beer to the village. It's set up in a neighbour's garden. There's a steady stream of people turning up with jugs.

On more serious matters. One of our neighbour's is an ICU doctor. We have four doctors, two retired GPs, one radiographer, three retired midwives and a vet in our village.

So talking to the ICU doctor tonight was truly scary. His message was simple "Don't catch it and do everything you can to avoid the disease."

Did you see Boris is in intensive care?
