The Retirement Thread

Well its not a nice day for ME. I am having a tooth out at 1200. She has booked a double appointment as the root is cracked so she is going to have to "dig for it".
In other news my sciatica is busy throbbing away. Its mainly in the thigh but jumps to the shin and then the ankle.
I dont want to take painkillers yet.... I will save them for just before she pulls the tooth.
On the weather front, its damp but mild today.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Thank you.
As a full on card carrying coward I confess to having a few nerves.
I might have said that I went to have it out 2 weeks ago thinking that, as it was loose, it would be simple.
As they say "men make plans and god laughs" (or something along those lines).

If it is I've missed my ride

It'll explain why you were awake early, you slept through Wednesday. Then you were trying to work out what you planned yesterday, for today.

Had a very pleasant walk through the burrows and dunes, then back along the beach with the doggie.
A bit cool but virtually no wind, which is very unusual down here.
Tide was fully out and the beach was HUGE!
Drove back through Croyde and Georgeham to pick up a newspaper, enjoying the views across the bay as I came back over the top of Saunton Down.
All in all 'twas a very nice start to the day.

Well i am back home now. The dentist said I was sooo brave I could have a sticker to show people. I did have to ask for it first though.
It went pretty much as she said it would. The tooth itself came away easily then she had to dig a bit for the root. I needed another dose of anaesthetic for that part as it was painful but she got the whole root out.
Sat with a medicinal whisky now.

That is amazing, I would have been typing that with a lisp.

Little 21 mile bimble on the hybrid since it was so nice. Hard going with a heavy hybrid with mudguards and legs that aren't up to much yet, but it's nice to be able to start getting some gentle miles in at this time of year.

This is the wrecking bar the scrotes used to tey and break into our garage (not the one in pink)..... it is 1.5 mtrs long and approx 30mm diameter. It weighs a LOT. They were on bikes...... how do you cycle with one of them.

Wrecking bar that size = Pikey's

 

[Dave7]

Wrecking bar that size = Pikey's

Our thoughts also.
According to the bobby they were off like rats =Pikeys
They left 5 bikes when they legged it. No problem, they will just nick 5 more = Pikeys.
TBF there must be some nice ones, somewhere, maybe, possibly.....ok maybe not

Of course - why didn't I realise this?

 

[PaulSB]

Annoying isn't it! I have even thought about going to the docs. My brain just never seems to switch off and is full of constant thoughts and worries, most of which don't even make a lot of sense

Out an early walk with the head torch since I was up anyway. Another nice day up here.

Yes, very annoying. When I worked I could understand it as I'd have work issues on my mind. This morning I had cycling thoughts running through my mind - crazy! I don't know if the doctor can help, I think it's a question of trying to find a way to clear the mind and I wish I knew the answer.

I'm actually just sitting reading about ways of helping deal with excessive overthinking, rumination, anxiety, etc just now! I wish I could learn to meditate but I only last about 30 seconds before my mind races off to think about stuff again. Lol. I will keep practicing though as it might get easier. It's silly as I have very little in my life now that is really worth worrying about.
