Morning all.
Best laid plans etc meant I didn't eat my curry.....daughter called armed to the gills with everything for a mahoosive omelette plus fruit and yoghurt for later.
So today needs a rethink 😗

Every now and again, I think about my present position as a retiree and reflect on my life.
Do I miss work ? No . I have worked full time since the age of 20 ( part time before that and Military Service).
Do I get bored? Sometimes , yes but it doesn't bother me as I have earned the right to do so.
Do I think I could have done better with my life? Possibly but I was never an ambitious person or driven by money although I wished I had invested in a pension scheme but I manage anyway.
Am I happy in the area I live in? Yes, North Wales is really lovely and I don't envy at all people living in big cities.
Do I like the world we live in now? Not really.
And you?

I agree.

Never regretted retiring at 56. I was good at my job but never enjoyed it.
Think I have enough money, but will let you know 🤣

I concur about North Wales, although were not in a super rural bit, moved here from that London in 2014, never regretted it, even though I knew very little about it (my missus is a cestrian)

And I too have risen.
Back is much improved so I may try the wattbike later and see how I get on. I saw a new app Rolla on the DC Llama videos from eurobike which is in beta, so I may give that a go if I can get it to work. The graphics look amazing and I don't want to pay for a month of fulgaz in the middle of summer as. It. Won't get used

Barnet,
Good morning everyone.
A cloudy, humid start to the day here. No rain forecast for today, but it might come tomorrow.
MrsP is off to an art exhibition near to Marble Arch this morning, so I will have a long dog walk, go via the market and call into the Mitre for a pint or two.

Well. That didn't take long.

After a long drawn out download and install onto my PC, the Rolla app just crashes.
Apparently, also lots of bugs in the beta version, and you need to use both PC and phone app, so we won't be bothering with it
Off to use up my free monthly zwift ride instead.
