The Retirement Thread

[BoldonLad]

Morning all. It’s a lovely start to the day in the west side of Coventry . I am having a very strange feeling this morning, as I seem to have the urge to do some gardening today . I am sure if I stay in bed a bit longer the urge will go away 😂😀

Be strong, resist, it will pass

I spent most of yesterday afternoon and evening pottering round the garden, very enjoyable.

Heading off to Connel Bridge with an ETA of 9.00. Very much looking forward to seeing a dear old friend this afternoon.

280 miles in less than 2.5 hours... Are you travelling by personal helicopter!

As for me... Out soon for a blood test, Metro and shopping. I nearly turned my alarm off and went back to sleep, then I remembered!

That's about it for the day.........

Got the Wordle and Dordle this morning but got spanked by the Quordle, one out of four.

Was back from Aldi by 0820 having got everything on my list. Strangely I feel quite awake though I am sure that will bite me on the bum at some stage.
Bit of breckie then I will decide what to do.

I do try Quordle, but fail on a regular basis. Only 3 times I have completed it.

most of the time I end up with 3 out of 4, though I do complete it sometimes.

Gave it a try just now and made it, just. I did use a crossword solver to help a bit though.

I don’t have a problem with anyone that gets enjoyment from it , it’s just I don’t . I do enough to keep everything tidy. Grass is cut regularly, borders are weeded and bushs are pruned it’s just I don’t get any enjoyment out of it . On the other hand it’s still a lot better than one of my neighbours who only cuts the grass and weeds every three months 😕.

I still like watching Gardeners World though 😀😀.

Spits and spots of rain. Picked my SIL up from garage as his van broke down. Went into town to get Mr WD's tablets and took daughter and SIL into town at the same time, 2 birds and all that.

Leftover lamb casserole today

Tastewise lamb has to be my favourite meat. However, as I can't stand fat it has to be cooked slowly so the fat can melt away.

This morning's INR test (measure of blood clotting time) was good.

I decided to be sensible and accept the offer of a health check and am booked in for that for tomorrow morning. I imagine it will be measuring height, weight, blood pressure; discussion of diet and exercise; blood test for diabetes etc.?

After the test, I shopped at Lidl, picked up a Metro, and then called in at Aldi to buy things that are cheaper than at Lidl e.g. cheap blueberries, which are about 2/3 the price.

I read an article in that Metro that men drinking 3/4 pint of milk a day are at 25% increased risk of prostate cancer compared to men who drink very little. I'm assuming that the equivalent in cheese and yoghurt also counts, and if so I am probably getting more like 1.5 pints a day!

I've done my crosswords and now feel a bit tired. I am sleeping better after my leg and back problems a few days ago, but still only getting about 5-6 hours in the main sleep. I will have a nap later today to refresh me.
