The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

I’ve just binged the entire second series of Black Snow. Quite enjoyable. I do like a good binge. So much easier to follow the storyline than just watching something once a week.

I still have 3 episodes of series 2, then I have to start on series 1. Yes I got it backwards.

There’s no word of a third series, but the way it finished it could be open to it.

Morning. It’s mild and currently dry but rain is expected soon. I will get out and try and get a few miles before it arrives. I will be plonked in front of the telly watching the marathon later.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
It is quite misty out there out the moment, but it is due to be a fine sunny day with temperatures up around 19⁰.
The dog and cats have been fed and medicated and I have my first mug of tea
Some pottering around the garden early on and then after the exercise regime there is a plethora of sport on the telly 📺 to watch. The Marathon, snooker, Liège-Bastongne-Liège cycling, and then a choice of the FAcup semi final or watching Spurs gift the Premier league to Liverpool 🤔
Enjoy your day everyone 😊

Good morning from a misty Dorset. Daughter's chap finished the " Devil o' the Highlands " yesterday. 68k between Tyndrum and Fort William. Despite a nasty fall at 45k he kept going. Meanwhile my athletic endeavours will be to climb out of bed, have a shower and carbo load with cereals and toast in preparation for watching the London Marathon 😁

I've just discovered what a Nepo child is!!
All I have to do now is understand about Catlighting & Gasfishing!

Every day's a school day 👍

I presume it’s trail running? I’m finding I trip really easily on trails now. It amazes me the speeds good trail runners can actually cover some of the terrain they run on.

Whenever I'm out on a hike in the Peak District or Snowdon, there's always a runner or two bounding from boulder to rocky outcrop as I stumble up a hill pushed on by my walking poles! 😂

Morning all

Today I shall walk down to Watchet station, hop on the steam train and then have Sunday lunch at the Railway Inn, Williton before walking back home.
Made good progress on my mates project Bantam yesterday.
Frame is now painted and the engine is back together.
Pics to follow later.

A lot of people on here seem to have wet the bed this morning. Am I one of the last up?
Cool at 8° but set to reach 18 later but with rain.
I will watch some of the marathon although tbh tv can make it quite boring sometimes.
Later I have.........
Utd away to Bournemouth (come on the Cherries)
Lpool at home.e to Spurs. Its a "should win" for the reds to give us a record equaling 20th title.....but imo a potential banana skin.
