The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

One of these programmes that isn’t brilliant but interesting enough to keep you watching. Was OK.

Yes, I've half watched it, playing online Canasta, browsing here, WhatsApp messages to arrange tomorrow's ride and an eye on the TV............

Hey men can multi-task.......

Morning. We have minus 3 and I am sore and stiff but will force myself out the door shortly. Nearly there.

Morning all, we learn our fate in the tier system today, our area is rising so I expect tier 4. The number of people not observing the rules is everywhere to be seen, sad really.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Cold and frosty out there.

 

[Mo1959]

Brrrr that was a chilly one. Thankfully seemed to be more of an air frost rather than on the ground so wasn't slippy.

Definitely porridge time.

Late November we had 2000 cases locally, by mid December this dropped to +/- 200, this morning we are 1000+ which has been rising steadily over the last week.

Everyone I know is behaving sensibly and responsibly. We go walking locally and see more of our friends and neighbours than we do at home in the village. Going for a walk takes hours 🤣🤣

Then I know one family with three adult children making four adult households, two of which have partners and children. The mother has created herself three different bubbles depending on which grandchild she wants to see. Everyone had Christmas together though we were told 😉😉 it's just the four of us.

The parents are divorced so the kids saw their father and his new family at Christmas.

These people really make me very cross. The parents are both retired medical professionals.

Just the sky being so clear I think. Definitely bit lighter in the evening but it seems to be mid January before I notice it in the mornings.

 

[PaulSB]

Well hello everyone. Two hours ago we had a bright full moon with light cloud drifting by. Nice to wake to some light instead of the recent pitch black. 0⁰C outside and doesn't seem to have been much lower overnight.

Hopeful for a ride at lunchtime. Other than this not much else to do.

Oxford AstraZeneca has the go ahead. A chink of light..........

I've noticed this but there has been a full moon. At 4.00am it's been very bright when the sky is clear.

I’m afraid PaulSB your not alone in knowing of medical professionals stretching the Covid bubble rules.
A good friend told me his neighbour a senior doctor, visited over the holiday his 2 adult children both doctors. This involved around trip of probably 200 miles and overnight stays at both there homes.

Morning all

Oh well, that's another trip over. Hitching up in a couple of hours time and towing home.
Don't know if we'll be able to get out and about next year, with all these changing tier systems.
Hoping to do 3 week tours of Cornwall, Wales and Sussex next year - fingers crossed.

And they have the cheek to preach to us.
