The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good morning world. Forecast is decent and I think like yesterday we'll get a lot of sun, can just see it peeking through light cloud. Slept till 7.00am - that's four proper sleeps in a row.

Nothing on the agenda at all but have a lot of very minor things on my Task List so it'll be a morning of laptop stuff. Possibly allotment pottering this afternoon.

Yesterday I found 3 double glazed toughened glass panels in a skip outside next door. Neighbour is having a new porch fitted. Chatting to the installer he told me the new roof panels were the wrong size. Wandered past the skip as I got home from my ride and said panels are in the skip!!!

These have been liberated and will be the top of a new cold frame on the allotment. Magic. 😀

I am out of bed, not sure how I feel yet but just being up is way better than yesterday.

Good morning fellow retirees,
A pleasant 5K run with my daughter last night whilst Mrs Tenkay put the Pizzas in the oven and cooked chips and prepared a salad. A friend has been given a load of garlic for planting and he’ll be dropping some of later today.
Have a peaceful day folks 🏊🏃‍♀️🚴‍♂️

Morning all

Bit of a Numbnuts day here.
Not much on.

Good morning all, another day of nothing awaits. Some days I cope with this better than others.
No frost here.

Watched only 1 Christmas movie yesterday as I am trying to wean myself off them, great to see it had a happy ending mind you thinking about it they all do.

Glad to see the heart rate only got up to 115 even walking up quite a steep hill this morning. Lol.

That was chilly but perfect walking weather. Just have to watch the feet on the odd slippy section.

The one on the left is quite nice.
Middle must SURELY be BoJo in drag.
Right reminds me of a certain miserable politician but I can't think of HIS name.

Got to stay in today as I have 20kg of bread flour being delivered so while I'm waiting I'll knock out a few mince pies

Slow to get going today.
I am in day 2 of self isolation but have a minor problem. The auntie has just been transferred into respite but has no clothes.
MrsD has to take some but has never driven my car AND tbh is not well enough for a 20 mile trip.
Which leaves me to drive while a) MrsD collects clothes from aunties flat then b) delivers them to the respite home.
Think I will have to bend this rule

What on earth do you do with all the stuff you make? Got a huge freezer? Are you not on your own?
