Well now that I've retired, thought I'd better get on with the home chores - thought I'd start with keeping an eye on the garden....

My walk in the woods, or the waiting room at Kwikfit while they explored the lack of fixing brackets for my exhaust system?
OK, the walk.*
A walk round Bolderwood and NF10 route today ...



*Car is having a night out in Kwikfit's car park tonight until the new brackets arrive tomorrow.
Retirement can include the mundane trivia/tedium as well.

But on a relevant thread topic, I did use my bus pass to get home. Probably the first time on a 'local' bus.
