The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Good morning all, a wet start here. Forecast to get brighter but colder.

Still suffering from Monday’s booster. Still very achy, didn’t sleep much, arm still very painful, I can barely raise it. This is way worse than the original two jabs.

What jab was it ?
Have all 3 been the same ?
We have have Pfizer each time and I think tomorrows booster is the same.

Morning, nothing to report as yet

The first two were AZ, the booster was Moderna.

its and here this morning, I wandered down the corner shop without my coat and wearing my slippers, walked down in the dry but about 30 seconds after I walked out the shop to walk home it hammered it down, No yoga this morning, the teacher has a funeral to go to.

Lovely birds. I don't think we get them around here at all as we are nowhere near the sea.

@Chief Broom During your time in Scotland have you cottoned on to the Scotland Outdoors programme and podcast ? They always have fun when eiders are mentioned . Most weeks they have a mystery bird which I rarely get ! They broadcast live on Radio Scotland very early on Saturday morning but it’s available at more civilised times on BBC Sounds or as a podcast.

I dont think they come inland. Theres often large 'rafts' of them of Brora beach and as Flick of the Elbow mentioned they 'ooh' and 'ahh' like theyre having a good old gossip
*** thanks for the info Flick of the Elbow i'll look into that

Brrrrr. Even after my porridge I have barely warmed up. Did the hill walk and got frozen on the descent as it's much colder again plus there was a shower of rain which didn't help. A thin t-shirt under my jacket definitely wasn't enough today. I never seem to get my layers correct

Google news. It listed those the clearly say they won't enforce it, one of them being Aldi.

Just done our weekly shop at our local ASDA. No evidence of increased mask wearing. Almost none of staff masked, about 3 in 10 customers with masks.

Good morning fellow retirees ( and apprentice retirees )
Pension day today which means that I'll be getting two payments this month 👍 Just back from a short run, only managed 3K and felt knackered so turned back. I'm very aware that I'm carrying too much weight so I'll need to be more disciplined. I'll be off for a walk soon, if I'm out of the house than I'm away from the temptation of the biscuits and chocolate.
Have a peaceful day folks 👍

I seem to be carrying less muscle and more flab the older I get. It's just dead weight to lug around but I'm struggling to shift it too. The discipline just isn't good enough. Must try harder.

Aldi dash completed.
Its horrible out there. Cold, windy and raining.

It's those bags of nuts you keep eating.
However to put you in the mood
