The Retirement Thread

Smart meters are a backdoor into variable pricing for peak demand . Which is going to disadvantage a lot of people .

They also have a relay in them so if the computer thinks you haven’t paid . Click . Off you go. Computer says no.

Where does that information come from?

Exercising at home.........any of the other oldies do this ??
I do it but find it hard to get inspired/fired up for it. But I also dislike winter cycling in the cold & wet....yeuk. not cycled properly since November.
I golf twice a week and try to exercise every day apart from these. Not mega loads but I do have (slowly diminishing) gut that has to go. BTW only been doing this since Jan 1st.
So.....this morning was....
Bike. 15 minutes/123 calories
Situps, using a roller. 2 sets x 100
Light weights. 3 kg dumbells.
Have to say I am already feeling the benefits.

Oohh not nice at all.
Sit on the bog while holding a bucket would be my advice.

Just got back from a well ventilated ride up the C2C path to Greencroft. Came back on the roads with a howling wind behind me. Clocked 45 mph coming down from Burnhope. Great fun. Only 21 miles at a very sedate pace so as not to aggravate the lurgy but so glad to be on the bike again.

Bit of a crap picture. Had a senior moment - forgot to take my phone out of the plastic bag it was in.

I'd rather get the bike out and go for a ride, though I do have a turbo, but don't use it very often.

The alternative is less appealing.
