The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I only managed 4 Guinnessesses and a couple of packs of Nobby's nuts. And some cheese Doritos. And a packet of ready salted Walkers. And a double Talisker. And another double Talisker. I don't think my feet touched the ground as I floated home in a warm alcoholic fog. Bliss. And I don't have to worry about being sober for the morning like a workie would.

This is my first winter since retiring. If the weather is cold and miserable when I wake up I make coffee, go back to bed in the spare room to avoid disturbing the good lady and read. Sometimes I go back to sleep.......

Whole new experience for me and so out of character. Interested to see how I react when the sun warms up.

I've taken to doing that if I've got time on a cold morning, just put the heating on, make a brew and retire to bed with my tablet and read news articles cycle chat or facebook, by the time I get up the house is warm.

Ditto.............but I tend to do that every morning regardless of the weather.

Unlike you lot, i don't sleep well at night, the consolation is of course, that often i fall asleep in the afternoon in a chair while looking at a real fire. There is nothing like a fire in a wood burning stove to send you to sleep. Good morning by the way to any early birds

No hangover! Still got it!

I get a cuppa in bed every morning and this morning brekkie as well. Heating is on 24/7 so never a cold house to get up to, life is great apart from having a cold. Still smiling though.

I'm off out for a run in a min. I've planned to catch up on my reading today. Mrs D does Rainbows (Brownies for 5-7 year olds) on a Monday, so I'll walk up the pub for my tea. The burgers there have their patties made in house by the chef and are to die for. Wash that down with a Guineas or five, chat to Steve the Shagger, Ralph the Racist, Den the Drug dealer, then see if I can manage the 300 metres home without dozing off in the gutter.

Bliss.

Ha ha. Cracking nicknames. We've got a Gas Board Dick, Clawhammer Joe and Really Interesting Roy (who's not).

We got George and Mildred up the road.

You could have pebble-dashed the house when you got home after consuming that lot.

Brrr.....just got back from the beach from doggie walking.
It's snowing! First we've seen here for at least 5 years.

Just been fed warm lemon drizzle cake and custard, I am not sure Pam has grasped what me being on a diet means.

It is compulsory for all good diets to incorporate at least 1 slice of cake every day. Everyone knows this.

So would 3 pieces make a better diet, quick I need the answer in case it is no.

Most definitely. In life sometimes less is more, but where cake is concerned, more is more.
