The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Rain here started while I was at yoga this morning and we've had heavy rain continually all afternoon. I've been doing the housework this afternoon, bed changed, washing machine on, bathroom cleaned, floors mopped, carpets vacuumed and I'm about to start the polishing.

Me too. Entire house cleaned except for loft bedroom. I even cleaned out the powder dispenser in the washing machine - it was disgusting!

Following on from the last post and the over 60's will understand have people come up with varied and ingenious inventions for catching their "business" when doing their bowel cancer test samples.

Hard mouse mats work well as they catch your masterpiece giving you time to obtain your sample pieces and then just lift one end of the mat up and your log rolls away.

You under 60's have it all to look forward to!!!!

Many sheets of folded loo roll

Good morning. I appear to be the first poster this morning.

Decidedly damp here. We had quite a lot of rain last night.

Morning all, cloudy but dry here. Taking oldies for med appointments in the morning then out for a canal ride later. Daughter and son in law visiting their oldies tonight (us) staying over and then taking their surf boards which they keep here down to Newquay tomorrow. They are strapping them to the top of my daughters Fiat 500, that'll be an interesting journey.

It's good but for me not to sit down and watch. I've been top and tailing gooseberries***, preparing peas for freezing, ironing etc. at the same time. I've watched Series 1&2 in a week.

The programme centres around a group of geeky teenagers and it's American so you can guess how it comes across. Worth watching when you're doing stuff. I've got Series 3 but will wait a while before watching.

It was recommended to me by son (33), his GF (32) and my great friend (41). Big age difference.

Gooseberries is/are one of the few fruits I have never really liked** since a kid. I think its the texture and (from memory) they are 'tarty'.
**so no need to worry that I wiĺ knock on your door, bag in hand.

They're are not too bad if they are really ripe and sweet, but if you attempt them too soon they certainly are tart!

My least favourite fruit is raspberries.

Hats off to anyone that can cope with these things! I have tried, and just can't cope with exercising indoors or on static machines of any kind. I'd rather even go a walk in the pouring rain.

I use my exercise bike over winter. I enjoy up to 30 minutes before getting bored.
Mine is in the spare bedroom looking up the close so I can put some good music on and have a good nosey while keeping fit
