The Retirement Thread

Good morning. And we are back to the rain and crappy weather.

Not actually raining here but very grey and the forcast is rain all morning.

Morning all. Muttley walked. I've decided to give up alcohol, so lots of coffee ahoy!

@dave r keep us updated on how Mrs Dave is doing buddy.

Oh well. It was good while it lasted. At least spring will soon be here.

Cheers will do, we've exchanged text messages this morning and she sounds a bit more cheerful.

The water in the pool was wet as usual, not raining here but it is very grey. I have had two rides on the bike already this wee, which is a record for this year, hoping for a third so if you lot can keep the rain away from my area I would be extremely grateful.

Morning all, a dull start to the day here. Dog to be walked shortly and the as the weather has changed so a bit of decorating later.

Morning all. Haven't opened the blinds yet to see what the weather is like yet. Our neighbour is having a loft conversion and the scaffold is next to our bedroom window, I don't want the workers getting jealous seeing me still in bed

Morning all.
Neighbour's having a fence repaired - so lots of Workie noise going on, causing major stress. Will have to get up early and go into town to get some shopping.
Hope they've finished by the time I get back.
Why do they have to start so early?!

20 minutes of leg presses, calf raises and thigh lifts, topped off with 200 crunches. Shoulder not feeling so bad so come Monday I may try some very light weights.

BEEFCAKE!

Guinness to close brewery! They didn't waste time.

That's one good thing.

I have number of male and female friends who I am close to. The majority are fellow cyclists through the club. One or two in particular are very close friends. These friendships have developed through cycling together and chatting about many different subjects. As you will guess one is a lady. My wife has met them all at different times

Currently I'm off my bike for perhaps six months. Lots of club buddies have visited but this one several times. I thoroughly enjoy her company. We have been walking, out to a pub lunch etc.

Part of me feels a touch guilty about this friendship developing more. I do feel close to this person.

Any views or thoughts?

Yep, and the MD has just bought a new boat!

Dont get me wrong, I love the stuff. However, I'm having to drink less and less anyway as I need to be good to go if Mrs D relapses, and the calories aren't compatible with my new health kick. I'm determined to get down to 235lbs and mega ripped, and Guinness is standing in my way.

My good lady is being discharged this afternoon, I haven't got any details yet but hopefully they've got it sussed out.
