The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

I’m sorry to all you insomniacs , lights out 23.10 woke up 8.45 . slept soundly apart from one PNR...

Lights out 04:40. Slept until 10:40 but didn't feel refreshed and have spent 25 minutes trying to clear my head.

... ( todays quiz whats pnr stand for, it’s from my work days)

Let me get my brain in gear first!

I dashed off the answers to 5 or 6 cryptic crossword clues in the middle of the night. After my sleep I can't even remember what day it is...

Business breakfast as usual this Wednesday morning. A unique group of business owners (some, like me, retired) who will give short shrift to anyone attending who tries to actually sell us anything, though requests for advice or information are fine. I introduce myself as the token revolutionary socialist (they think I'm joking).

Then an appointment at the optician, the first for three years. No deterioration, which is good, but new specs ordered (for reasons).

This evening I shall be on the bike to a pub somewhere in East Devon, then wobbling home.

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

Really?? Can't do that at ours. Even basics have to go via a pharmacy.

Oh no. They have their own pharmacy. Takes 5 days mind you after you put your prescripton into the box to get them

I order our medication online, I collect mine from a local pharmacy, my Good Lady has her's delivered by the pharmacy attatched to her doctors.

Salut tout le monde. Mrs has gone to try out her new glasses and has her 3rd jab booked at 3.00 pm in LLandudno. Mine is next month.
My new 8 speed chain I ordered from Chain Reaction has come this morning so I will be fitting it to my Allez later on.
Windy and wet today.

Dun walking, saw loads of fungi, but nothing edible looks like fish finger sandwich for lunch

Shopping nearly done in Barnstaple - in other words 1 out of 10 items found.
MrsD suggested lunch at the Aggi on the way back.
How could I refuse?
Excellent pint of Timothy Taylor's 'Knowle Spring' on tap. The bacon sarnies went down well, too.

Done the cleaning and been for a 30 minute run/shuffle.
About to compose my weekly letter to my mother. It would be nice to be able to ring her but her hearing doesn’t allow for that.

*checks in and waves* "See you all in a few months - put the tea on in October

*checks the date, looks at his watch* "I'll pop back and settle in on Monday - keep a space for me, and I prefer digestives or fig rolls !"

A good workout at yoga this morning, and a good physio session for my Good Lady, they had her walking up and down the lounge with the aid of a walking frame, the first time I've seen her on her feet for months, so we're making good progress.

That, my friend, is most excellent news.
She won't know me from Adam but please pass on my best wishes.
