Morning. Wet. Windy. Overslept till 7.30 and have been dashing ever since. I'm very tired. Yesterday's ride was harder than I realised and I'm dehydrated. Got home to find Mrs P had invited four friends for an evening of supper and parlour games. Riotous. Finally dragged my aching body to bed at 00:30.
@Tenkaykev another fan of the Trolley app here. I keep all the expensive things which can be stocked up in there..........you know coffee, gin, whisky. 🤣 In seriousness though I do swap my shopping around partly based on the app. Increasingly finding Tesco are competitive with Aldi on a very wide range.........pains me as I do not like Tesco.
Marriage in retirement? I salute all of you caring for a partner. Your commitment shows true love and understanding. 👏👏 I have only a tiny experience of this but enough to know caring for the carer is vital. As @numbnuts said grab a few hours wherever you can.
Us? 42 years married and together for 44. It's been good, difficult, happy, sad but I think above all strong. Today we lead both joint and separate lives. We have a close circle of 8/9 mutual friends, a wider circle of mutual friends and then our own independent circle such as my cycling. We spend days and evenings together and on other occasions apart depending on what either one of us wants to do. It works for us.
