The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

The weather here's been lovely this morning, but no bimble for me today, late night last night, watching the F1, and didn't feel like it, carer was late as well. I've spent the morning doing housework, my computer table has had a tidy and clean, I won't be able to find anything now. A bimble has been penciled in for tomorrow.

Wonder why a decent walk or jog doesn’t affect my appetite but cycling does. Not like it was very far. Just back from the supermarket and was so ravenous even after lunch that I bought a couple of iced buns. Can’t get them down my throat quick enough!

I hope so, maybe I'll get a wheelie bin

I'd set my Garmin to record a walk on Saturday, forgot about it when I got home. I was doing breakfast and vigorously shaking a tin of baked beans when the watch buzzed and sprang into life with an on screen message of " Incident detected, calling your emergency contacts in 15, 14, 13, seconds. Press to cancel " It thought that I'd fallen and was going to contact Mrs Tenkaykev

Had a great ride today, glorious in fact weather was perfect with a sou'westerly which would be a tail wind home on the A9
Got well out of my comfort zone...., did my usual route alongside Loch Brora and then headed up into the hills. Lots of steady inclines and then the road gets really 'swoopy' on high moorland with great views. The sea eventually appears in the distance between valleys and then a long winding descent into Golspie where i had a rest on a bench. Scooted home along the A9 and didnt feel too knackered from the extra miles and hills

If I lived in my wheelie bin, I'd go out 4 or 5 times a year! (Most of my rubbish goes out in the recycling containers.)

5:00pm, it's dark and I've just heard the chimes of the Ice Cream Van
On a lighter note, Mrs Tenkaykev was preparing to feed the Christmas cake. We couldn't decide between a nice Aberlour, or ( Scottish people look away now ) a cask strength Cotswold whisky
We've sampled both and decided that the Aberlour will be going in the cake 😎

Managed to book my booster this afternoon, took a few goes and the earliest date that was offered was 13th Dec but at least it’s done. The rollout in Lothian has been a complete shambles.

Yes I passed on the coffee and went for a 5 mile walk

What'll you do when it starts telling you to "Move" at 5am?

Apparently I can't turn it off on my garmin thingy, I can't understand way I haven't noticed it before

They're taking over. Today it was "move", next time it'll be "Run".
