The Retirement Thread

Nearly 8 miles walk done. The traffic seems to be starting earlier and earlier. It used to be if you were out between 5 and 6 you got an hour or so before it picked up, but no longer.

Granola this morning for a change.

Following my 5 mile slow run yesterday morning, my Garmin watch tells me I still need 17 more hours to recover 😮

My body battery is down at 35 already. Didn’t have a great sleep, followed by being up really early plus my walk.

House insurance jumped from £186 to £294, I may look around a bit.

Sleep, don't mention that word to me, I am feeling a severe lack of it this morning, not to worry though up and going out soon.

Mine is due next month. No doubt I will find the same. Insurance has shot up drastically this year

Dogs walked, two miles, it might be getting a bit much for Jessie.

As kids we did have that but more often it was strips of the Liverpool Echo hanging on a nail in our bog down the yard......bloody cold in winter.

My uncle used to do the same with the Leicester Mercury.The print always used to come off on your hands when reading it .Bet it left the headlines on your backside after using it as bum fodder as my dad used to call it.

It is due to the Pandemic/inflation/fuel prices so you can't blame the insurance companies

and probably the recent Northern Lights
