The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good day people. Grey, sunny and autumnal here. Not bad at all.

Been rushing around like the proverbial fly but STP is now sleeping. Phew. I'll try to fit in some bits of cycle club admin during her naps.

Perhaps you're not all footie fans. In 1995 managed by King Kenny Dalglish Blackburn Rovers were crowned Premier League Champions. I was at Anfield that day. Another team came second. 🤔


This popped up on my FB feed today.

Same round here, they look at you like you're a freak if you've got one on. Mrs S and me still wear them in all shops regardless of what anyone thinks. We used to wear them to keep everyone else safe, now it's purely for our own benefit.

Me too. I wear mine first and foremost to make a point and secondly to protect those around me and myself though the me bit is probably marginal but doesn't matter to me.

Im missing not going on a ride today i include my other interests when cycling like wildlife watching and sitting on benches at scenic locations [im an expert at this]. Ho hum guess i'll sit here listen to the rain and hope the roof doesnt start leaking.
Thought i would get my name on council housing lists in case i need emergency accommodation ,,,,cant do it because i havent got my national insurance number...jeez To get that i need to print a form out and havent a printer....will have to use the computer and printer at the local library. Ive had experience of homelessness in my youth and dont want to go there again...

I'm sure he will enjoy that. As a lone liver myself, I enjoy my own company 90% of the time, but I enjoy the odd meet up for chats too. I'm blessed with lovely walks around here and often bump into the regulars who I wouldn't class as the best of friends, but good and friendly acquaintances. Nice to chum them along on part of my walks occasionally.

We went to a local church ⛪ cafe that I use,sadly due to one of the helpers an over friendly American who was loud,my mate who is on the autism spectrum could not cope with his full on in your face attitude.So we went to a new local Spoons pub,superb idea,quiet lovely atmosphere,he had a full lunch and I had a small excellent pizza,now he will not be coming to our lads group Xmas do due to the noise,so I have suggested just me and th have a Xmas themed Spoons dinner together.So I will get two Xmas dinners nowt wrong with that.14th and 21st.

Sorry about Mrs D7.
The egg and oatmeal thing doesn't seem too good to me either. I have been eating barley which has more protein and fiber but seems gassier. I believe l could stick a kazoo up my butt and play the entire star spangled banner after a bowl. We now have some "complete" yogurt that has 28 grams of protein, more than a 16 oz ribeye steak. I put that on my oatmeal or barley for a protein boost. I like 3 eggs cooked in cheddar with some Marmite toast one day and the oatmeal/barley/ yogurt the next. Either one keeps me happy until the afternoon.
Such a joy not to wear the damn indiustrial strength panty hose any more. I feel as light and airy as thistle down, although part of that might be the inflationary benefit of the barley. Life is good.
Be safe and well.

Having spent most of the morning finishing the clean and sort out of the kitchen cupboards we went into town this afternoon so my Good lady could buy her Xmas cards, bus was crammed both ways and the driver on the way back was wearing his best lead boots, I had to wedge the wheelchair into position with my feet to stop it sliding round, On the bus we rely on the chairs brakes to hold it in position, if the driver's too heavy on the throttle the chair tends to slide around a bit, if its too bad I'll say something.

I've been for a walk, the amount of prats on bikes without lights

 

[Juan Kog]

Todays ride 63 miles on fixed ,thats the longest for a long time . Powered by ”eggy- porridge “ . I did try to share my sports nutrition tips with you lot , but you made it abundantly clear you weren’t interested.
I went to Cromer , no not that one . The Hertfordshire one , so no beach or pier and no crab sandwich .

Evening wander for some air. Don’t usually go out in the evenings but didn’t walk this afternoon so felt the need for a stretch and some air.
I will watch Holby City at 8.20 then Long Call at 9 and that will be my tv for the night.

Is Marmite legal where you are, or do you have to have the curtains closed and doors locked before opening that place you secrete it before consumption?
