The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Hmmm. Good day. Four hours sleep is not enough. I can feel that already. I'll try for a nap around 11.00. Yesterday was good. My son cooked a very good piece of topside with all the usual accompaniments. I particularly liked the way he tossed sprouts, brocoli and peas together and dressed with a warm sauce of lemon, chilli, garlic and time thyme.That worked very well.

I had some good pressies. A bottle of Armagnac, Christian Dior Eau Savage (my favourite) and a T-shirt. Mrs P and I shared to gifts, a Fortnum and Mason hamper and a generous voucher for The Lowry which will probably give us 4-5 evenings out. Always welcome.

The little thing below is my favourite. A key fob! The reverse of each figure is engraved with a granddaughter's name.

Walk done. I never met a soul. Everyone must be sleeping off their festivities and over indulgence.

Bruce walked. It's like a ghost town out there.

Back to semi normality tomorrow with shops open and some people back to work, but some trades stay closed right through.

Morning folks my ride yesterday wasnt the best, the headwind i estimate was around 20mph with gusts that stopped me dead. After battling up hill and down dale i said to myself 'sod this' stopping to turn around i didnt notice my front wheel was in a slight dip in the road and didnt turn...couldnt get my feet out the clips and fell over in an undignified heap ah well at least i didnt bend my derailleur and there was only sheep to laugh at me! Will try again today.

Morning all

Well, I had a really good night's sleep and woke up feeling considerably better than yesterday.
Will get up in about an hours time and have a shower, breakfast and possibly get outside for the first time in 4 days.
Got to be one of the worst Christmases I can remember.

I sympathise as a fellow sufferer. I have experimented with diet and supplements over the years. It's tough knowing what, if anything, helps as it can take a while for food changes or new supplements to kick in.

I suspect dairy makes me worse, hence the oat milk, also caffeine is a definite one. I take a combination of 3 supplements which are known to help some peeps too. Magnesium, B2 and Coq10.

I've just got back from a walk with Millie. There were lots of dog Walkers and joggers about first thing.
