Just wondering how you are adapting to the everyday is Saturday program you are now on? :) Five plus years for me and enjoying every day for me. I've found it's a great job but the pay could be better but what the hey it's better than working for a living.

Riding when I can and if I knew how hard this retirement game was- I would not have gone for it.

Dealing with bureaucrats in the pensions office is one job I have to knuckle under to- but Just had to clean out the loft and fill the shed and garage with the 25years of stuff from there. Gardening and I can get on with that but the bikes to look at has risen to 5 now-All in the shed. The Campavan is almost ready to come back after the Son-in Law has repaired the floor after he wrecked it with a grinder so plenty of work will be needed on that---If I can clear the garage of the stuff from the loft so I can get to my tools.

And the good part is that Eurosport is showing Amstel Gold and an Italian tour at present in the afternoons- Last week it was a couple of French/Belgian tours so plenty of time to relax and then watch the replays when my eyes were resting.

And I am just ordering the wood stains and Shed preservative for later this year But still have to find a good supplier of Asphalt for the shed roof and Timber (Lumber?) for the fence.

Not enough riding-Not enough Pie and too much good food and I have lost 6lbs without doing anything but run around for the wife.

Think I need to take a sickie.

Remember when you were working and you ran into a retiree and they said they were so busy they didn't know how they found time to work and you went "Ya,Sure" now you know what they were talking about. :)
