The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Result on Fish Friday!
The pub made a mistake on the bill and had added extra drinks - but left off the meal.
I pointed out that they hadn't charged us for the fish and chips.
The landlady gave us a refund on the extra drinks and said we could have the meal on the house.
I hadn't even complained - just pointed out that the original bill was less than it should have been.
Good F & C though. Home made Tartar sauce

Busy day today - put some washing in then went off round the area looking for Farm Shops

I already knew of one but the prices are rather high - got a few fruit and veg a few days ago and it came to nearly 3 times what it would have cost at Tesco

Anyway - I asked if there were any others on the NextDoor website and people mentioned 2 other so I wandered off in that direction on my bike
One seems really good and the prices are much lower - comparable to Tesco I think and better quality.
Just neither do any meat and I was hoping for some nice sausages for tea!!

The last 2 bikes I bought new had very little grease in headset and hubs and none in tge BB. What grease there was looked lije vaseline. You may want to check yours, Chief Broom and your wheels are true.

The only bike I have bought new in recent years was a Brompton and my experience was similar with virtually no grease in either front or back hubs and also the headset.

What if you're upset by someone with their arm up a cow's arse?

As someone whose arm has been there, I want to know, how does the cow feel?

A quick hello and then an Aldi dash at 0750.
Don't need much but its less than 10 minutes away so not a problem.

Wasn't it dark this morning !!! I woke at 0400 then went back into a deeeeep sleep. Woke at 0630 thinking it must still be 4ish as it was so dark.
Catch up later

BTW......sky is full of vapour trails again. Not as dramatic as yesterday though.

I have risen!

And today Bruce comes home to his new family.

Good morning from London. Off to Wormwood Scrubs shortly for parkrun, then back for a shower before heading out for brunch.
Yesterday’s walk from the station made me very aware of traffic fumes. Noticed an Electric Scooter station with three separate companies vying for custom.

Good morning all.
