The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Hope it doesn;t go that far
I suspect I will either need some B12 - or stop take the Omaprozol - or something
my diet is OK - I am one of the few people I know who actually get or exceed the "5-a-day" thingy!

anyway - see what happens on Wednesday!

anyway - thanks for cheering me up!!!!

It's ok.....he didn't die of that.


Make sure you don't take your iron too close to drinking tea or coffee as I think they inhibit the uptake. Glass of orange juice is the best for some vitamin c with it.

In keeping with the cheering you up theme, when did you last see any advert for "One of your five a day"? It, five-a-day, is now considered bad for your health.

Morning all
SHould have gone for a ride yesterday - got the grass cut and was totally knackered

was going to go on the bike to get some stuff from the Pharmacy but couldn;t even do that
I presume it is due to the ongoing iron problems - telephone appointment on Wednesday about it - don;t expect anything much except more pills
would be nice (?) to know why this has happened and why iron tablets for a year doesn;t fix it!

anyway - rainy today so no bike
climbing with the grand daughter tomorrow - well she climb I just wander around offering encouragement and making suggestions

now - where was that porrige - or should it be Cornflakes today??

I am on daily iron tablets. TBH they don't seem to do much.

Trixie?

It does change a lot over time
When I was a teacher - of ICT - I had a few lessons left over when they did the timetable and some years I ended up doing Food Technology
(i.e. Cooking)
but in a computer room!
so I did the "Healthy Eating bits of the National Curriculum
that was around 2008-2012 ish
When I recently did a course for people tested as Pre-diabetic we did a lot of healthy eating stuff and apparently a lot of what I told the kids is now classed as positively harmful!!!
I also found out some years ago that 5-a-day was just this country - in some Eastern countries they push something like 10-a-day but that was considered just impossible in the UK - and most of Europe!

weird!

Morning car taken to the garage and sent my water flosser back they gave me a return label
Fish today as it is Lent, I have often wondered if the Catholic Church has shares in the fishing industry

I've made 26 post and have not been banned or been censored is that a record

Ahhh ... the unbounded joys of being retired, so's one can fully enjoy the early morning stimulating benefits of wind blown icy rain in order to collect a Fleabay 'collect only' item*.
Whilst only a 7ml round trip for me, the meet point was about a quarter of the seller's 235ml journey. Fortunately their pre-arranged route just happened to bring them within spitting distance of me.
Extra bonus was - belatedly - collecting an Xmas pressie from a local en route - a box of McVitie's Victoria selection biccies - which, together with a coffee - are certainly helping the re-acclimatisation process.

*A set of Bayko - which I'm sure others here will remember?
