The Retirement Thread

[The Jogger]

Morning all, for the first time in ages I can see through the clouds and that's the weather too 😂
We do Wordle in bed with coffee in the morning (well we are retired now 😊) and today we actually started off with the same word, what's the chances of that, I got it in three, madam six and she's the educated one...
Off to the gym shortly after I walk the boss to her yoga, then official stuff at the Town Hall, all in spanglish.

Morning all

Off to Barnstaple first thing to fill the car up and get some shopping.
Will drop in to the storage yard on the way back and pick up the caravan.
I've a couple of last minute things to sort out on the van and it's easier to do it at home. We're off on Friday morning, so I'll hitch up on Thursday night and we'll be good for a quick getaway.

Morning all, a grey and cloudy start to the day here.
Wordle in 5 today after a zero on line 1.
@ColinJ I thought I had a bit of a cold, after a couple of days I tested positive. A bit of a sore throat and the odd sneeze. I'm still showing positive this morning, 7 days on, but I feel fine.
There is the cycling show on Eurosport and a race on this afternoon,
So another domestics and bike cleaning morning. The chainset on one of the bikes is pretty filthy and needs a good clean.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Morning. A complete opposite weather day here. Cold, damp, grey, misty, and overcast.

Lots of folks will get colds now. And they will he more susceptible to them as we have all worn masks for 2 years so the numbers getting colds dropped. That in turn means people's immunity will be shot. If it's not one thing, it's another

Stay safe peeps

Morning. It was a bit out and the back is still nagging away. Not sure if jogging helps but it doesn't seem to make it any worse so managed a slow 5k.

Think it's nearly porridge time now.

We did ours in apple white.......not what you wanted but maybe worth a thought as ir is very pleasant.

Windy, wet and grey out there but warm and snuggly in bed - team decision; we are not getting up until at least 10am.

Not wordled yet but optimistically I am hoping for a very elusive hole in one. 😅

Some miserable weather day tasks to do when we do get out of the pit:

Got some work to do on our investments tracking - I've decided that the current spreadsheet is not fit for purpose and needs redesigning from scratch.

I have a backlog of Spotify tracks that need curating.

Can't face the ebay backlog though.

Finish off S5 Last Kingdom.

HAGD all. 👍

More my type of weather today.....dark, cold and raining .
Paperwork day today.
I 'think' breckie will be bacon and egg sarnie. Just trying to decide

I am expecting a delivery of a piece of leather today (shut it) no smutty jokes.

I can make things with it (keep it shut).

Salut.
Grey and dull today so Mrs G enrolled me to help her give the kitchen cupboard's door a new lease of life with a fresh coat of paint.
Wordle done in 3 today.
I watched Martin Lewis on Youtube last night and his advice was to take your meter readings tomorrow to avoid being charged at the new extortionate rate starting on April 1st.

We have just decided to have sausage buns in bed - how romantic.

What time do you all go to bed? I ask as every day we seem to be the last to get out from under the duvet on this thread! 😁

Our average bed time is somewhere between between midnight and 1pm.
