The Retirement Thread

Well what a good day. Took 3rd place in my age group on The Rake.

Don't bother. It's awful.

Do bother, it’s marvellous ! Although the first couple of series come with a serious horrible violence warning. Oh, and there’s lots of s*x.

Don't know that area very well. My grandfather was head gardener at Preston Hall but I do not think there is any connection to Preston Mill.

It’s in East Linton.

Morning. It seems to be quite gloomy and overcast. Trying to talk myself into an early spin as I seem to lose motivation as the day goes on. My legs are seriously sore after lots of walking the last few days so it will be a very gentle one if I do go.

Morning all, got a cycling buddy popping in today for a sit in the garden and a good natter, hope he can renew my enthusiasm for riding.

Good day to you all. We have a bright and deliciously cool start to the day. Interesting weather forecast though - rain at 8.00am, then clear skies and 23⁰ all day, thunderstorms and heavy rain from 9.00pm and temperature of 17⁰ all night.........we shall see.

Today is going to be a doing day as there is a lot of stuff which needs doing!!! General tidying, ironing, household admin - just stuff.

I have risen!

Hospital appointment in Dunstable today. Joy.

Morning all fellow retirees.
A swealtery start to the day here. It rained heavily during the night.
Off out with the dog soon before it gets too warm.
My specs have become quite misty as the coating on the lenses has been coming off over the last few months. Now they are open again I will attempt to pop in to the opticians to see if they can be salvageable or more probably get them replaced.
My sight test was due in April but obviously that didn't happen, I didn't know if they are doing tests yet anyway.
Another day in paradise peeps.👍

I had a test last week. All the standard Covid type precautions but a thorough test. As I posted, the good news(ish) is that she spotted a problem and told me I could be totally blind in a couple of years without an operation.......she is arranging that for me.

Dogs walked and fed, I'm going home today so I've got to clean the house up before the owners return.
