The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

I should be saying that but it doesn't feel late enough yet!

Oh well, TV off... I'll go upstairs now and try to solve a cryptic crossword. If there is any chance of sleeping, that will probably send me off.

I wear a dog tag on a chain round my neck which explains that I am on anticoagulants, in case I am found injured and unable to speak. Couldn't you get something like that to explain your condition? You'd have to pull it out to show to the guard (whoever) which you might not be able to do, but it could help?

He wasn't the sort of person who was willing to change his mind. He seemed to think it could only be drink that could cause it.

I was back in Leeds the following morning, having a word with their customer service.

PAH, sleep... Who needs it!!!

I must eat something to fuel me for today's ride but I am not hungry...

Oh well, can't hang around - must get ready. See you later!

 

[ColinJ]

All I could face was chopped strawberries, banana and grapes with Greek (-style) yoghurt. I'll have a cereal bar on the train.

Considering I only got 4 hours of fitful sleep, I feel okay at the moment, but I will be wasted when I get home tonight!

Right, I really DO have to get on now. Finish my coffee, brush my teeth, and GO!

Good morning all, carers here at a civilized time this morning, quarter to seven, but I suspect they were running late, the visit was rushed.

Good morning all, dull and damp and quite breezy here. Hopefully will be a bit brighter for the ToB this afternoon. Am planning to see it as it rolls through Midlothian.

You lot are not making me want to pay a visit to Aldi you know

I suggest that you do it.....then take your time to see what they have that you like.
As an eg MrsD has been eating a lot of pot size trifles etc (as she lost 3 stone with Covid)...... Aldi's are less than half Tesco price and just as nice.
As above.......veg and fruit has improved a lot. You can't go wrong with things like eggs, milk and butter etc.
Oh yes........I use their 3 percent mince for lasagne and burgers etc.....its excellent.

Morning all.
Pleasant today up to now.
It will be a relax day.....thank goodness. Physically I didn't do a lot last week but I am mentally drained.......I know MrsD is the same.
So.....todays plan......
A short walk.
Golf and footy on tv.
Apart from that I can't think

Bonjour my little petite peeps. See I am going European today.

Dull and yucky here. Lots of rain last night and quite breezy.

Stay safe peeps

Morning all

My spideymates are breeding! Went to bed and Colin was up on the ceiling. Woke up and two of his mates have taken residence in our bedroom. Think they were partying last night.

Going back to Clint Eastwood films.
I watched The Rookie last night, the one with Clint and his new partner Charlie Sheen (I think).
Too much unnecessary bad language but a good action film.

Good morning all.
A dull overcast day here in North Norfolk.
We are slowly making our way home today, but there are some places of interest to stop at on the way. Norfolk lavender, and then a country park near to Sandringham.
Another busy day in paradise .

 

[ColinJ]

Almost at York now. The weather has gradually improved as I got further east. Thick black clouds and spitting drizzle when I left, light cloud over here.

Should be a good day out.

Note to self, don't visit Dirk in the autumn. 😯
