The Retirement Thread

You need Android Marshmallow or a more recent version. Then you need to format the card for internal use. Does this video help? (It wasn't for a Nokia 3.4, but the method should be similar.)

Thanks Colin unfortunately I don't have that option.

Good morning. Warm, damp, drizzly. With my recent lack of motivation enough to send me scurrying back indoors but while motivation isn't high the mojo has returned and the forecast is sun at 9.00am - I find that hard to believe but I'll meet up with my buddies regardless. Nothing else to report really. Cycle committee meeting on Zoom tonight.

O, yes. Forgot. Someone mentioned supermarkets a couple of days ago. I was thinking about this. It's ridiculous. Within five miles we have Tesco x2, ALDI x3, Lidl x1, ASDA x3, Morrisons x1, Sainsbury x 1, Waitrose x 1, Booths x 1, M&S x1. A total of 14 and this ignores multiple mini Tesco, ASDA, Coop, Spar etc. 13 supermarkets? I don't buy any extra food.

Morning all .
A decent sleep but woke early. Tossed and turned for 90 minutes the decided to get up.
A 1st for us today. MrsD has a hairdressing appointment and we are christening her blue badge. Its not been possible before as there is no parking anywhere near (apart from a small bay and that is like winning the lottery).
I then have some paperwork to sort, file or shred.
When I retired I foolishly thought that was it for paper Work duh.
New pension
Blue badge
Attendance allowance
The aunties finance
No bl**dy end to it

I'm a member of the 'woke brigade' having been beaten to being up by a number of you this morning. I'm expecting a delivery this morning, so I'll be sitting in an unheated flat between the hours of 7 am to 7pm without much I can be doing. I find using a phone in place of a laptop a chore, so it's a blanket, flask and book for me until the stuff arrives - I just hope it arrives early so I can go home again.

I Wordled in 3 today, so my streak from starting is now 5 threes and 1 four. The four was for 'PROXY' the other day, which was bit of a toughy to get.

I hope all have a decent day. Feeling it for @Dave7 who I understand is not having it easy right now ~ have a hug friend.

Morning folks Re-supermarkets, my nearest is 22 miles away and the nearest corner shop co-op is a mile down the road. I walk to the co-op along the beach sometimes but if my bag is too heavy on the way back my arms get stretched a few inches. Anyhow my tesco delivery is today and spent about £130 so will be well stocked with cornetto's for ...5mins
Rode to Golspie on the A9 yesterday and had a lorry come past a 1ft of my wheel..damn it! be glad when i have a car again as i can put the bike onboard and head into the hills and start a ride away from the A9

Back from a little run.......well jog........nope a slow shuffle! I should really just give up. Slower and slower yet it's taking more and more effort. The heart rate was almost into the anaerobic zone just keeping going.

Off for a bath then I'll get my porridge.

Morning. It's 8 deg here allegedly. I can see most and we have rain as well now.

Stay safe peeps.


I do like the slow shuffle Mo

Good morning, world.

4 degrees and dull on Planet Thanet today. We have no specific plans for today, except to go ukulele playing tonight.

I think I will change my breakfast today: toast and marmite followed by an apple, instead of my usual bowl of porridge.

Keep well and stay safe, everyone.

Morning all,
wordle done in 3 this morning.
We were awake at 4, the dog was very agitated and and growling and barking, she went out in the garden very angry charging around. Something was out there annoying her.
Managed to get back to sleep for a while though.
Today won't be an energetic day.
