The Retirement Thread

Morning. Bit chilly up here but seems to be dry. The wind is to pick up and there is rain due by afternoon so better do something this morning, even if it's just walking. I'm sick of reading and hearing about this virus already and we're barely started 😢

God morning.
I would like to say I’m up but have been awake what feels like all night. The worst night’s sleep since returning home from hospital last Monday. Looking through the window weather looks fair with no frost in this part of Anglesey.

Morning folks, its a bright and sunny morning, car in the garage first thing, bonnet catch, then out for a bike ride.

Bright and suny here a lovely morning, decorating day and maybe a ride later.

I have risen!

Heavy frost here in Poshshire. When will winter end?

 

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning folks.
It's forecast to be a fine but chilly day.

Mrs Tenkay and I are going on a Brommie expedition to get a few cans of beer 🍺

Our stocks appear to have evaporated, 🤔

Good morning. Bloomin cold start here. Lots of frost but at least the sun is shining.

Talking about soap and fatty acids, the only thing here that resembles fatty acids around here is Mr WD.

Morning all
Got to wash the exterior of the van this morning and then take it back to the storage yard. It'll only be there about 10 days before we head off to Cornwall.
Desperately hoping all the pubs don't close due to this virus thingy.

Off to Wilko for a brewing kit 🍺🍺👍

Thank God I'm teetotal As long as they don't run out of coffee!

A few years back, I suspected coeliac /malabsorption might be the reason for my fatigue.
I spent seven months on a soya free, Gluten free, vegan diet and also largely eschewed alcohol.

I did feel amazingly healthy but still had issues with fatigue.

I feel sorry for you Mo. You will never get that certain pleasure of when your hangover finally goes and you force the hair of the dog down .

That is a joke of course.
Out of interest, have you always been TT or did you at some time make the decision. Feel free to tell me to MMOB

No, I used to drink but never got much pleasure from it. I don't like the taste and used to feel a headache coming on before I had barely finished the first drink so eventually decided there was no point.

 

[welsh dragon]

I must admit I am not much of a drinker. I very rarely have a drink.

Morning all. Well, it appears that we are all here. Not heard from Classic as yet but thats the norm.
No rain forcast here although those clouds seem to have a different opinion.
Me and MrsD are going for a walk later...... that may take us past the pub . The meals are quite good but tbh they overface me. Several people have told me that they go for 'childrens portions' as eg fish n chips @£5.99 are plenty big enough.
