The Retirement Thread

Good morning all.
There is no rain here as yet.
Hopefully I will get out on the bike later, I need to get to a fishmonger to get bits and pieces for a fish pie for tonights tea.

Morning. I have spent the night listening to the torrential rain that we have had all night. .

Stay safe peeps

Good morning folks,
Blue bin, Veg box, and Walking group followed by post walk Coffee in the pub are this mornings agenda. The overnight rain has stopped but the wind has picked up. ( very impressed with updates to the phone’s built in weather app which now shows rain radar )
Have a peaceful day folks 👍

Good morning all, struggling to get used to these dark mornings again.
Still mild outside and chilly inside.

Morning all

Bit wet and windy out there this morning.
Haven't decided where to go or what to do today.
I'm sure we'll think of something.........

Morning folks just got my winter gloves through the post...but they're way to small doh. .Someone's idea of 'large' is only suitable for hobbits, ah well i shall give them away. Weather looks 'interesting, did have a ride yesterday which was ok on the outward part but returned in a raining 10mph headwind...cant win them all

Wet walk done. Full waterproofs required. My head always feels like a boil in the bag meal wearing a hood

Cereal finished, now for a cuppa. I went to bed earlyish last night with a headache. I might have yet another go at trying to cut out coffee and see if it helps.

I stopped drinking coffee about 3 year ago, when I realised that I'd never really liked it.

I'm the opposite I now drink more coffee than tea

I wear a light baseball style cap under my waterproof hood, it helps prevent the hood from feeling too claustrophobic, and the peak keeps the rain off my specs. 🥸🌧

I do so it's hard to give up, but if it helps avoid headaches and maybe helps sleep too it would be worth it.

RIGHT.... NOTE TO SELF......
next time you go shopping try taking your credit card with you .
Got everything loaded onto the conveyor and was ready to reload the trolley when I suddenly pictured my cards on the bottom stair where I placed them prior to putting my trainers on .
I had to leave the trolley there while I went back home for the plastic.
TROUBLE IS......if I get there for 0800 I miss the peak traffic** whereas going back at 0830 I hit it.
** the road Aldi is on leads from a busy area called Orford to the main A49. From there it leads to either town, Liverpool
or the M6/M62........it gets really snarled up.
Ah well.....all my own fault

I wear a waterproof bush hat.....the ones like a trilby. It has a wide rim which keeps most of the rain off.
