The Retirement Thread

30 minutes on the Peloton, dogs walked, coffee and homemade lemon and poppyseed biscuits.
Bike ride a bit later to the post office.

TBH I've never heard of lemon and poppyseed biscuits..... sounds nice though.

Neither had I until put those ingredients in!

I’m just back from a 21 mile bike ride.

Are you sure?

Cruel, but funny at the same time.

I am back from being out playing. It was a really good, enjoyable day. I am now off to the gym for a couple of hours.

Goodnight crab apple saison. Well I made the most of today and I will try and do the same tomorrow.

Good morning all.
Another warm and sunny day in prospect for today.
MrsP is off into town with Joyce so it's me, the dog and cats.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Bonjour. The car is going for a service at 8.30 so I will take Molly for a long walk whilst it is being done. Beautiful day again here in N. Wales so I may go for a bike ride later to recover from the cost of the glorified oil change on the car.

Morning all.
Bit of a problem here as my back "went" 2 days ago and has got gradually worse.
Struggled out of bed and taken 2 Nurofen so hoping they kick in soon...I would normally take Ibuforem but you should have food before taking them.
The dishwasher needs emptying and black bin needs sorting but they are not possible........ oh woe is me.

Nurofen is just a brand name for ibuprofen is it not.

Morning. Slightly brighter this morning. Neighbour and I are going to go through to the next village and have a walk from there later. I might just miss my early walk and wait for that.

I really don't know....you may well be right.

Good morning all. A bright morning beckons me out of bed, but not before a second cup of coffee ☕️
The bathroom fitter came to fit a replacement shower valve yesterday, the original, though only a few months old had got really stiff. We live in a hard water area and he suspected limescale. That got me thinking about protection systems, we haven't the space for a salt treatment unit so I was looking at alternatives. I see there are a couple of types, polyphosphate dosing or one that uses sacrificial anode. Wondered if any of the forum members had any experience of either.

Coooeeee. 10 deg and a misty start here but it's going to be another nice day I think.

Pottering is planned. I should pick up Mr Wd tablets from the quacks but it's market day in Mach so I won't bother.

Stay safe peeps

It is, though the body/mind is quite a complex interface and research has shown that perception can affect effectiveness in reducing pain.
Here's a link to an episode of " Sliced Bread " where a pain specialist explains the three main types of pain killers and which is more effective for different situations.
