The Retirement Thread

[pawl]

The top of my right foot is a bit tender and there is a slight bruise on it this morning. I'm thinking slight tendonitis due to the running and maybe the lacing being too tight so I think I will experiment with different lacing techniques.

Try using a fell runners knot Don’t ask me to describe how to tie it Google have several videos.Might be worth trying Good luck

I'm thinking something along that line, maybe missing out the area of the foot that is tender. There's a few different methods on YouTube. Something like this I think.

Good morning all from a misty Barnet.
Dishwasher emptied and now a cleaning cycle on as it was a bit wiffy.
Washing machine also, a cleaner going through that as well.
Pancakes and strawberries for breakfast, and now out to Trent Park with the dog for a walk through the woods.
Lunch will be taken at the Green Dragon where they do very fine roast beef dinners.
It's a tough life being retired.

Visible in the quote as I was replying, but not in the post itself, when replying.

Dahlias in my front garden, under a still flowering fuchsia bush.

Well that’s been a productive weekend. 💪

About 100 yards from my house some big ash trees are being felled. Tree surgeons were happy for me to take stuff away (once they’ve gone) so I got about 500kg of wood last night. They had helpfully cut it into small rings of about 10” so it was easy to load. Word got round fast and the place was packed with SUVs and folk grabbing what they could. There were a couple of fairly big logs so me and another guy used our chainsaws and divvied them between us.

I collected 250kg more this morning and have been splitting and stacking it since. 🪓

Knackered now, need a nap!
