The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

I was just reading a bit more about parcel collection points...

I hadn't considered the potential environmental benefits. If a van takes 10 parcels to 1 place instead of 10 separate places then it could be quite a big saving in fuel, provided that the 10 customers don't then drive to pick up their parcels from the collection point.

There are Amazon lockers at the local station, which I walk or cycle to 5 days a week anyway to pick up my copy of the Metro. In future I will get my Amazon parcels dropped off there unless they are too bulky for me to carry far, which very few of them would be.

That really is sad.

There's a "training film" on how to use a wheelie bin. If you're interested.

Just back from the Park, a glorious evening, there were some very young ducklings following mum along the edge of the lake.

I'll pass thanks.

Where's yer sense of adventure?

I'm getting on a bit. The excitement might be a bit too much for me.

It’s in the recycling bin

The cancer doc thought his staff had set up the chemo pills 3 weeks ago, but we had not heard a peep from them. He was not pleased about this error on the staff's part and we left with a 30 day supply. Until we know how well that will work there won't be any lung procedures and he will not speculate on how much time Mrs 12 has left. So, bidness as usual for now.

Good day. The sky is a lovely pale blue and it's still. Looks like a beautiful day ahead. At 11.45am I have a boot fitting at Whalley Warm and Dry a very good and very expensive shop. Superb service and if they have the right pair of summer boots for me I will buy without question. I'm then determined to ride when I get back.

Today I start weight loss and calorie counting. Weighed myself and at 74.6kg not as bad as feared. First target is 72kg but I know 71 is possible. Saying this out loud helps do it.

So nothing urgent this morning but I'm not going to arse about. Plenty of little jobs to do, tidy round, bit of ironing etc.

Enjoy today and behave...........or is that mutually exclusive?

Good morning folks,
It’s very misty out there, hopefully it will burn off soon. Not a lot planned for today, possibly a trip to “ Running Free” to sort out some new trainers for Mrs Tenkaykev.
Have a peaceful day folks 👍☕️🐣
