The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

Aaargh - I'm doing it again...

One problem with my waking hours slowly working their way round the clock is that I don't get into any kind of routine. For instance, today's 'breakfast' was not until 14:00. What happens then is that I don't start getting hungry again until about now or even later. If I am distracted by the computer, I sometimes get to about 23:00 before remembering that I should eat and then it seems too late to make a proper meal so I make do with a snack.

It isn't a huge problem now when I am slightly overweight and not cycling much, but once I start doing long rides again and am at my target weight it WOULD be.

I had better go and rustle up something to eat while watching the TV news...

Yes! Calcutta cup won again

No we didn;t - I just checked

Went to a family 'do' this afternoon - my wife's family that is - her aunt is 90 today - look like a reasonably good 70

there were also some friends of her daughter there

I got talking to the husband of one of the friends
it turned out that he gets the Daily Mail delivered every day - and thinks it is a great paper


wellllll

that was 90% of my possible topic of conversation rather scuppered
we managed - talked about retirements and pensions - I mentioned cycling once but I think I got away with it

rather glad when my wife finished her family reminiscences with her aunt (yea GODS those 2 can talk!!) and said we should be heading home

as usual saying goodbye with that lot took about 45 minutes and lots of hugs and stuff

but we eventually got home

Don't you start. Mrs P hails from the Borders. My football team lost while Mrs P was celebrating with gin!!!

Mrs P "Who's that?"
Me: "Ryan Giles"
Mrs P: "He looks like a Ryan"

Mrs P: "It's not going very well"
Me: "No"
Mrs P: "Where's the one who scores all the goals?"
Me: "He's on the bench"
Mrs P: "Why?"

I didn't enjoy the early evening!

Look at it this way. A few more months and you'll have gone full circle and can start going to bed at a proper time........10.00pm is plenty late enough at our age.....

Celebrating your team losing?
That's just not cricket.

No! Celebrating Scotland's win.......

Drown your sorrows, have a drink. There's always next time.

I don’t have a team

(That is to say, not in any of the tribal sports at any rate)

Do you need a BIG hug? It will feel better.
