The Retirement Thread

Morning all

Don't think much of this supposed storm; bit of wind and a some rain. Nothing special.
Off down to the harbour for lunch and having fish & chips tonight.

Lovely bike, I’ve got a 20 year Van Nicholas Amazon with canti brakes, I’ve never felt the need to upgrade it.

Beautiful. I was looking at a titanium Enigma recently. A stunning bike. I had to keep reminding myself my titanium Kinesis is only 18 months old.

2nd night running had an ache in my right eye. My right eye has never been right, and thats the kne where the blood vessel exploded last year and left me with a totally red eye.

Is your right wrist aching ?
Just askin like

 

[Dave7]

That's a pity. Still, that means there will be more for us. As one door closes and all that

I have arranged a mini bus. We will arrive approx 11.30.
A nice crusty loaf would also be acceptable.

Good morning. It's raining. Normal rain, not stormy rain, we seem to have missed Goretti.

First an apology for my outburst yesterday about the States. It upsets me and I had just watched that poor woman being shot from point blank range in her car. I can't recall seeing anything so graphic on the six o'clock news before. I was upset and very angry.

So moving on. Sleep and maple syrup. Well. I found a bedtime drink that is supposed to help:

• One cup of warm almond milk
• One tsp turmeric
• One tsp cinnamon
• One tsp maple syrup
• Pinch of black pepper

Conclusion. Cinnamon isn't soluble.

I have some admin stuff to do, PT session this afternoon and we have friends coming this evening for a takeaway. Everyone orders their own takeaway and brings it with them. They're coming at 7.00, it will be good fun till 9.00ish. This is when Mrs P will suggest we play a "game." No, no NO!! Something like having to draw a particular thing with your eyes closed. Or Pictogram etc. Charades, yep I'm OK with that but drawing???? Aaarrrrggghhhh. I can do a cat that satisfies a two year old, after that.......

Next up stretches, brekkie and a walk.

The Manchester Met Office has advised wearing 2 pairs of PJs and a warm dressing gown when shopping at B&M, Home Bargains or the pound shop.

I've seen two series and have got the third on My List in Netflix.

The fact it was shown on BBC main news was a surprise but entirely justified in my opinion.
What upsets me is not the graphic nature of video but the callous disregard for life and law and order by ICE and Trump administration.
Appalling state of affairs.

It’s all getting quite worrying now. Surely to God other nations need to start standing up to Trump and condemning his actions.

Absolutely. I was amazed to see the video on BBC news. I can handle the graphic nature but everything thing which surrounds it which has got to me.

There's another video showing ICE blocking a doctor from attending her.

Yes, we should. Goodness knows what we do if he takes Greenland.
