The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Morning chaps and lovely chapesses.
Woke with a bad back this morning. I think I must have been lying awkwardly.....unless MrsD has been kicking me.
We were supposed to go for a walk at 0800 but swmbo is still zonked out. Seems the earlier she goes to bed the more she sleeps . Whatever, I will get a 2 or 3 miler in.
Did a lot of shredding and filing yesterday but still have a ways to go..... should finish today.
Have a good day all.

Been doing a lot of this recently Dave. You weren't once a secret agent by any chance? Or maybe a dissident from a failed state? Perhaps a rogue scientist working on pathogens ... or viruses that jump from animal to human populations?!

You have got me.
But I wont go down easy .
But seriously......I have threatened to do this several times but I tend to procrastinate a lot so actually onle made a serious start yesterday.
I used to run my own company from home so had masses of paperwork and shredding to do on a daily/weekly basis.
When I retired it was as though a switch was flicked and I quickly came to detest it.

Good morning fellow retirees,

Another sunny day dawns, and with it the deadline for the weekly club 5k challenge.
One more coffee and I'll head out while the streets are ours.

Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚲🚶🏃🌞

Phew! So you won't be worried about a visit from Russian 'tourists' when you next visit Salisbury?

So long as they are not carrying umbrellas with suspiciously sharp points

6.7 mile walk done. Home dry but it's very overcast and breezy. Rain radar shows the rain isn't far away.

Feeling a bit sorry for a girl I know and follow on Strava that's a staff nurse. Week off after a hectic week and she was hoping to get out for a cycle today. Not looking very promising.

It's on it's way! 😢

Morning all . Think my day will fall into three parts. Part one , coffee and virtual sailing in the morning . Part two, a long walk in the afternoon with my good lady. Then part three in the evening, WINE . 😂😂😀
