The Retirement Thread

Morning folks. Chilly here now. Not nice at all.

Stay safe folks.

Good morning folks

I'm safe then.

And me.

A couple of studies seem to think that vitamin D is helpful. I have been taking it for about 12 months now. Tiny little tablets they are.

I've been taking fish oil and vitamin D for a while now, I thought it might help my back, it hasn't but it seems that my night vision has improved.

Good morning fellow retirees,

A wet and windy day ahead. I'm planning to walk into Wimborne for a loaf of bread, there's a small baker's shop that bakes great loaves and even better cakes. Hopefully the calories expended walking will cancel the cake calories 🤔
After our outstanding afternoon tea at the Dome in Edinburgh a week or so ago, Mrs Tenkay informs me that Morrisons also do one. Admittedly the surroundings might not be as swish but at £10 it's certainly a lot cheaper 😁
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️☔

Although I am told there is a duck pond forming

And now it's raining, but I am snug and warm. You gotta love a real fire.

When we moved here, many years ago, we had a real fire and a back boiler for the c/h. It used to eat fuel . Yes, a real fire is nice but a real pain in the arris.

Morning all, 4 degrees and here.

Morning all .
Was lashing down when I got up. Easing off now but here for the day.
I am dropping MrsD at the hairdresser then to Asda for some shopping**
**must say I feel uneasy about it. I am used to being on my own in Aldi at 0745.
Then I am making a chicken and veg casserole.
MrsD is gradually going off meat so this may not be our best ever decision.

Chilly walk done. Didn't think it was too bad at first as the sky was clear but a bit of mist has come down and made it feel colder. Should burn off again soon though and be another decent day.

Trying to put breakfast off for a bit as I end up starving again mid morning.

I don't find it a hassle. We don't have gas here and oil is far too expensive as would electric central heating, so a real fire it is.

Yes, a tad optimistic. Brisk walking ~ 50 calories per mile. 🙂
