The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good afternoon. Paid my council tax and water rates, took Molly on Angel Bay and saw at least 50 seals resting on the beach there, lovely sight. Can't take pictures of them as they blend in nicely with the rocks and as we can only see them from the top of cliff looking down, the photo would be confusing.
Nothing to do now I'm afraid. I have got the glass pane to put in my shed to replace the perpex one but the frame needs enlarging so will do it when I can start in the morning and have hours of daylight in front of me.

Paul's top tip for today...........get the glass cut to the same size as the window frame. Much easier! 😄

Good afternoon. Grey, windy and friggin' cold. A "feels like" of 3⁰C - too right absolutely bloody freezing on the bike.

Slept till 7.45 so no check in as I was rushing to get out on a ride - can't really be late when the meet is at the top of your road!!! A hard, hard winter ride. 52 miles, 3500 feet, 13avg, headwind for last 20 miles, came close to dieing in that and 3⁰C. Geeeeez.

BUT we had what must be the GREATEST CAFE STOP EVER!!!! Turned up at our favourite cafe. Chalk board outside announces Today's Special is Cakeaway and coffee £5 - hot custard, any cake and coffee. I had double chocolate with piping hot custard. Fantastic!!!! 😄

Cakeaway sounds a lot nicer than my cereal bar eaten at the roadside, well done.

I had a cheese and marmalade sandwich in my pocket but somehow hot custard and cake won out!!😄

I would have done if I had it made but this one is a second hand one from of friend who had windows replaced.

One of my favourites. Another goody is slice of toast, spread with butter and marmalade, layer of Lancashire cheese, top with another slice of toast. Hmmmmm. Delicious.

Not recommended for riding, makes a mess of the jersey pocket 😄

It's got to be strong cheese
