The Retirement Thread

[BoldonLad]

Up since 5.30 and resumed cleaning out drawers and shopping bags of old papers and documents , there seems to be no end to this valuable rubbish . 94% of it is just to be shredded now , it seemed important at the time. Finding old bank statements etc from back as far as 2010. The more old papers etc I deal with the more I discover . Anybody else have this or is it just me ? good morning anyway and stay safe folks !

I used to have this problem. It was organised, ie filed, but, I kept most documents, from the year dot.

I then moved on to scanning the documents and saving on a Western Digital NAS drive.

It is all pointless I suspect, I never actually look at the stuff, but, I console myself with the fact that when I pop my clogs, the children can just unplug the NAS Drive, throw it in the bin, then go and draw out the money from the bank

Bonjour les copains/copines. Another beautiful day here in North Wales and great for the TdB which finishes on the Great Orme this afternoon.
I intend to leave the house about noon , and cycle there and hope to find a quiet spot, away from people, to watch the riders struggle race up the Orme.
I haven't decided whether I should have a sandwich before I go or take it with me and have it there. Instead of using my phone, I will carry my Nikon on my back for , hopefully, better pictures.
Those of you who will watch it on TV might even see me ?
I shall report much later.

I'm the total opposite........I never keep anything. Everything is nearly paper free these days anyway.

Morning folks looks ok out and not windy. Im pedalling farther each week and now im pondering what will happen if i have a non fixable mechanical issue....I carry an inner tube and a few tools but anything more then im knackered! Over the hills and far away theres no phone signal so guess i'll be walking home! If there was an AA equivalent for cyclist i suppose could climb the nearest hill and might or might not get connected. So im off for a ride in a mo I may be sometime!

Bike breakdowns are rare, just keep on top of the maintenance you'll be fine.

Misty wander done. Very quiet. Just two regulars.....one lady with her Golden Retriever and one guy running.

Usual Herons and Goosanders on the river plus a Kingfisher perched on a big stone. Just caught the flash of vibrant blue out of the corner of my eye.

Fruit and fibre time now.

I get quite envious of your morning walks The wild life and the views Some good pictures as well

Enjoy

That's because you haven't kept it!

And what annoys pleases me is the throw away comments such as "the usual Goosanders".......many years since I have seen one of those

Its here today, the yoga class was good, its normally a good workout and I'd worked up a sweat by the end, I'm now Hungary.

Right......breaking news items......
1. Back from hospital. 2 hours of my life and £15 taxi fare to be told exactly what we already knew.
2. I have given up on my hearing aid and accept it is lost forever. £85 for a replacement.......not too bad as I was expecting £200 +. I collect it next Monday.

They reckon some parts of Scotland might hit the highest September temperature in the last 100 years today. I might just hide indoors in front of the fan! 😓

I can hear the bin lorry. I will wait till it's been and bring the bins in before getting some lunch. Just be a sandwich I think.

There's no point in bringing them in before they've been, is there!

The TOB goes from Aber to Mach, then Dollegllau, and on up to Harlech so it misses us this year by approx 2.5 miles
