The Retirement Thread

@Dirk the chips we just had were Aldi triple cooked in beef dripping.
More expensive than normal frozen chips but very very nice. If you want a special chrimbo lunch I recommend them.

Have finished Waverley, very enjoyable. Am now attempting Kate Mosse’s Labyrinth for the second time, gave up on it as too confusing after a few chapters the first time. But needs must...

Not at that time in the morning.
You'll have the neighbours wondering what you were doing.

You okay?

Thank you classic, kind of you to ask. I'm absolutely 100% other than being tired!!! Just recently I've started waking around 1.30/2.00am. My problem is my mind starts to work and then it's really hard to sleep again.

@12boy - yes I'm experimenting which much lower pressures. I'm running 35mm tyres on this bike. Friends who run the same have a minimal contact with the road until they manoeuvre so lower pressures work. I'm starting off at 4 bar which is +/- 60psi.

Magnesium is interesting. I don't have any of the issues it's suggested this supplement can address. I do like the thought it has a calming effect on the mind as mine is too active.

Sounds like you take it 4-5 hours ahead of going to bed? How long after starting to use it did you start to see an improvement?

I take it every day, but more for cramp. Doesn’t help me sleep sadly.

Very, very muddy 7 mile walk today. Decent weather till the last hour when the drizzle set. A good day. Tea and crumpets now.

Discovered our friends and neighbours are part of the national Covid-19 screening programme. They've been in it for five months, one test per month. £50 in M&S vouchers for the first test, £25 for subsequent tests EACH!! 😳

My daughter and her partner have been in the screening program for some time Looks like money for old rope

So in theory there are 10-12m people ahead of me in the vaccine queue. I should get jabbed at some point between 24/02/21 and 13/03/21.

It will ask to install but you can ignore this.
