The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Went down with a stinking cold and sore throat yesterday. Feeling a bit crap this morning.
It's OK for you workies, you can take a day off; I've got to be sick in my own time.

I have to call a temporary halt to my hibernation as i have to venture out into the wilds of Wales to do my shopping........i may be some time.

It gently snowed here for most of yesterday so spent five hours finishing off organising my wood shed. I got a substantial amount of free timber last autumn which I logged and stacked. Dry enough now to split and stack in the wood shed. I reckon I have two, possibly three winters supply. Felt very Scandinavian!!

A few of us discussed riding out for lunch today but the temperature was still -4C at 10.00 so ride cancelled. A pity as we thought it might be possible to sneak in 3-4 hours in the brilliant sunshine

Off to clear out the garage now. I have the feeling Spring is not far away and want the non-productive jobs out the way so I can get stuck in to cycling and the allotment.

Slightly nervous about the postie arriving today as he should bring my Ride London magazine.

One downside for today is I have to raid the savings pot to pay for my wife’s trip to India. On the upside if the weather is reasonable in March, when she goes, I plan touring the Pennine Cycleway from Derby to Berwick and then carry on to Edinburgh. I haven’t mentioned this yet!!!!!

Been out for a run, Bic'd my head, shower. Now settled down in the warm with a coffee. I think my conjunctivitis is back, so I may have to self treat with some intensive Guinness therapy.

Good old Mrs D.
She just took the dog out to the beach and dropped into Tesco on the way back. She does look after me well.

I have returned. Morrisons seems to be filled with old people these days.

I've notice a similar thing in our shops and pubs. Odd isn't it?

Serves you right, I have had mine since last Friday, slowed me down a bit and put a stop to swimming but it has not stopped anything else. I have decided to have break from the bike as my foot was giving me too much pain so nothing different there.

Speak for yourself. Nothing wrong with my health, especially since i just stopped working.
