The Retirement Thread

[Sterlo]

Morning all

Off for a mooch around the shops in Barnstaple this morning. Who knows what I might come back with?

...and a visit to a local hostelry perchance?

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

A grandson is coming home this morning from Aber Uni to have his car looked at by his go to man. He has his flu jab this afternoon so it's grans taxi for me. I will take him to town for his jab and then take him home. His brother came home.last night from Aber Uni just for The night so He will drop his brother off as he passes by on his way back to Uni.

That's my good deed for the day.

...and a visit to a local hostelry perchance?

Might drop into Latitude 48 to see what's on offer.

Still don't feel quite right, albeit much better than yesterday, so this'll be day 2 without a bike ride. After all these years i've finally learned to listen to my body.

I lift weights 6 days a week, but ever 3 months I have one week off to give my joints and connective tissues a rest. This is one such week, and I wonder if feeling a but week and achy is anything to do with that sudden inactivity?

Same round here, they look at you like you're a freak if you've got one on. Mrs S and me still wear them in all shops regardless of what anyone thinks. We used to wear them to keep everyone else safe, now it's purely for our own benefit.

Our village pharmacy is still restricting customers to two people at one time.MrsP went to collect her meds but had forgotten to take her mask She had to stay outside and they brought her meds to her.Their policy is no entry if you are not wearing a mask but they will get items and bring them out

I actually feel worse taking rest days from exercise. Rather than feel recovered, it just seems to make me more lethargic and sluggish.

Wander along the river trail this morning. Water is up compared to yesterday so must have been more rain overnight. Never met anyone till the end when I met a lady with a hyper Cockapoo and a guy running and that was it. Unbelievably mild for the end of October.

You're not breaking the law, that's the main thing.
Doing time for Marmite smuggling isn't up there at the top of the list, yet.

It would be if the responses to Marmite on here are anything to go by
VIVA LA MARMITE

Morning. A calm and surprisingly warm morning here.

Stay safe peeps

It’s blowing a gale here😠😠

We still have to wear masks on trains, busses and in shops alrhough some people in the cities have all but stopped doing so. I must admit, round here just about everyone wears one in the shops

I’m sorry to all you insomniacs , lights out 23.10 woke up 8.45 . slept soundly apart from one PNR ( todays quiz whats pnr stand for, it’s from my work days)
Its a DIY day , Mrs JK has bought a picture hanging system. She assures me it will be so simple to put up . It avoids the need for hooks for each individual picture.

And in other news.......
1. Aldi dash done. Schools are off and difference in traffic is amazing.
2. So this time I picked up my credit cards and put them in my trouser pocket. So far so good!! Then I had the bright idea to change my trousers....duh! . Guess what I forgot to do

I changed to a different pharmacy as they only allowed one person per time in. If it was raining etc and you were in a queue you got wet.
This pharmacy is bigger and can take 5 or 6 while keeping safe distance.

Can't remember the last time I was in a pharmacy. Mr WD gets his meds from the Drs surgery.
