Good morning fellow retirees,
Clear and calm at the moment. Planning to pop into town and meet a couple of friends for a pint a meal and a natter.
Looks like omelette for me due to the after affects of the trip to the dentist.
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚴♀️🏃♂️🚶♀️🏊♂️🍺

She is still around, noticed a post from her in another thread a few days ago. Don’t recall which thread, something about classic bikes I think?
Good morning all.
Nice and sunny outside but the clouds are gathering, so it won't last long.
My old leader in the Boys Brigade always used to say,"it's too bright too early " when we out camping. He was right more often than not.
All the usual things to do today, dog walking before the rain gets here and I may watch the Giro this afternoon.
Stay safe and sensible everyone. 😊

Morning all.
Bricking it a bit as the Doc left a message to say she is phoning me to discuss the blood tests. After the last lot she kept asking have I got pains in my stomach or discomfort. After I kept saying no she immediately arranged a 2nd lot of tests......she obviously thinks there is something sinister going on
.
On a positive note its not raining. Its supposed to be but the sky is quite blue.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

Yes, retirement is very time-consuming. And you don't even get the weekends off. But if I'd known it was going to be this much fun, I would have done it first.A thread specially for 'persons of leisure' and independent means, or those with aspirations.
How do you while away those lazy days?
How do you cope financially?
When did you retire?
Is retirement what you expected?
How long did you take to adjust?
Etc.
Tell us what you are up to today or what plans you have.
Or just have a bit of silliness to while away those lazy hours.
I've been busy today. Hilly 15 mile ride in North Devon, took dog for a stroll along Saunton Sands, cut the front lawn, leisurely pub lunch at the Tarka Inn overlooking the estuary, bit of shopping and now going to nap off my lunch. Never a moment spare!

It would be even more so if it wasn't for this bloody virus. Sick of not being able to do stuff which previously was part of everyday life.

Morning all, sunny at the moment but showers forecast, chilly too, the ‘feels like’ forecast is 6 to 7. Another walking day I think.

That’s another reason why I’m still waiting for my retirement proper to start. All I’ve been able to do so far is to stop work.

Lots of chat amongst my cycle buddies this morning. We are all in Tier 2, groups of six allowed outside, no household mixing inside.
In the last two weeks we've had concerns about cafes so a decision has been made. Rides will be shortened to 40/45 from meet point which means we all get 50/55 from home. No cafes unless we can get a coffee outside, stand in sun and not get cold.
I'm happy Tier 2 restrictions have made the decision for us.

When it happens, and it will, you won't know what to do first. I'd never been so busy till March.......
