The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Lack of sleep seems to be something most of us on thos thread suffer from.

I think it's partly an age thing. Once I wake I hate to feel I'm wasting time which could be spent doing stuff.

I sleep very deeply and usually from 10.30pm latest. Problem is by 5.00ish I've probably had 7 hours.

Overslept. Have a slight cold. Not wnoughnto cause me any real problems, but it's thrown my routine right out the window.

My Fil (91 and retired for 30 years) still sets his alarm clock for 6:30. Why?

Old habits die hard.

To enjoy as much of the day as possible?

Good morning all. Haven't been on here for a couple of weeks due to being on holiday in Corfu. Very disappointed with it and won't be going back there again. Stayed in Sibari and it is like Blackpool with the sun and I hate Blackpool! Food was all English, bars were blazing loud music and football 24/7. All the things I dislike! Anyway, on pa happier note, off to France in the morning , to the Pyrenees for my niece's wedding. Will have a better time there with good food. See you when I'm back and back to cycling again too .

Morning all, dog walked with a friend across the fields, coffee drunk and chores done. Off out on the bike shortly for a ride and a few ales afterwards.

Just tidying up my Chomebook, as its a bit lighter and more portable than my laptop so I'll use it for MTB training classroom sessions. Not had much cause to use it lately, and I'd forgotten how good it was.

Just got back from a nice ride over the top. Good views across the channel to Wales this morning. Did 23 miles, 1500 feet of climbing and averaged 14.5 mph on my steel Dawes with mudguards, bottles, lock, pump, saddle bag etc. Would have been a lot quicker on my carbon Focus but the roads are a bit mucky in places.
Quick shower, then doggie walking and shopping at Tesco.
Might cut the lawns later if it stays dry.
Don't know how I used to fit that working malarkey in!

Go to the pub.

Taken Mrs D's car for a new tyre after a very lengthy and increasingly irate argument with Motability.
