The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

So a milestone for me today as I hit the big 60.

Happy birthday. 60 is the new 40.

.....my plan is to cycle everyday, no matter what the weather brings. If it is really bad i will just do a mile. The only exception will be if I'm ill or travelling to the house in the pueblo. I will also try and stick to a healthy diet, as i am changing from bad to good diets and back again every week, if i don't do it now i never will. So that's the plan.

Best of luck!

So a milestone for me today as I hit the big 60. I'm thinking what do I need to do to still enjoy life and remain active. So my plan is to cycle everyday, no matter what the weather brings. If it is really bad i will just do a mile. The only exception will be if I'm ill or travelling to the house in the pueblo. I will also try and stick to a healthy diet, as i am changing from bad to good diets and back again every week, if i don't do it now i never will. So that's the plan.

Happy Birthday

Morning all! Down the club this afternoon, perhaps a favourite cafe for lunch first, and we've got to sort out my Good Ladies medicines, first prescription collected from the doctors

Caravan now fully fettled and cleaned. Loaded up and ready to go.
The sun is shining and all is good with the world.

Just thought I'd give you a little reminder of what work is like these days. Today was one of the few times I needed to call into the office so I got up with Mrs. jg at 6 o'clock and got into work just before seven.
Logged on but couldn't get into my main account where all the work stuff is. Tried all sorts to get in but whichever route I took I got a message saying I needed to contact someone with administrator rights.
Someone with administrator rights turned up 3 hours later and seemed baffled that I couldn't get into my account. "But we sent you an email about changes to the security protocols", he says. "Which account did you send it to, the secure one?" I ask. "Well yes", says he, "It has to be the secure one. You know, for security reasons."
"So you've sent me details of changes to security protocols to an account I now can't get into because you've changed the security protocols?"
It's gradually dawning on him why I can't get into my accounts and eventually we do get things sorted out and I do get access just before I have to come home.
The idiot with admin permissions is a pay grade above me too.
