The Retirement Thread

Back from a little 3 mile jog. Jeez it was such hard work today. Combination of the usual heavy legs plus lack of sleep didn't help.
My Garmin wasn't impressed with my sleep last night

Thats not good but I think I'd return similar figures most nights, I had a rare decent night last night, in bed about eleven and slept to half five.

Morning all,
Wordle in 5 Many seemed to be getting it in 2 or 3 today
A bright start weather wise, but due to cloud over soon.
I am hoping to get out on the bike for a while this afternoon, I haven't touched them for a while.
I have a bit of gardening to do, some plants and bulbs need digging up and potting before the digger arrives to do the driveway and hard standing.
I know it's really the wrong time, but if I take enough soil around them they might survive.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Morning all

Going down to the village with MrsD while she gets her hair done.
Might have a mooch around to see who's about.

Oh, that caught me out... I had got it into my head that Reacher series #1 was in 10 parts but it turned out to be only 8 so the end tonight came as a shock.

I enjoyed it and will watch series #2 if/when it becomes available free with Amazon Prime.

Spoiler: Reacher may be tough...

But even the toughest, hugest guy doesn't just brush off being smacked repeatedly in the face and arms with a crowbar!

Some of you will know what being really hurt feels like... You don't just shrug it off! I got stabbed in the face when I was a child and the pain instantly disabled me. I couldn't do anything to defend myself after that. Fortunately, it was at school and a teacher jumped in and pulled the little psycho assailant away from me.

They are talking about a second series

Slept well but have absolutely no 'go' today.
Supposed to be going to the aunties shortly but do not feel like it.
We will see.

Try to dig them up with plenty of soil and root attached.I usually take as big a chunk of soil as possible
Good luck

Morning folks bright n breezy or gusty n freezin depending on whether a half full or half empty person
Walked past my new place yesterday and an electrician was doing safety checks so i had a walk around. It could do with a coat of paint but thats ok i quite like painting, especially if the weathers grim, give me something to do.

More relieved Mo! to live without stress is so welcome, i thought my thinning hair was going to turn white living through the storms! If anything goes wrong here the council will fix it...with the cabin the landlord [who lives in sunny Portugal] couldnt give a toss Im feeling pleased and grateful to the housing people who sorted it!

@Chief Broom Your Cyclechat name always makes me laugh. Way back when I joined the prison service in 1986 the names of all the officer grades was different to it is now. It went Governor, Deputy Governor, Assistant Governor and then Chief 1 and Chief 2, then Principal Officer and Senior Officer and pleb! There was a lady called Anne Broome who was a Chief so she was Chief Broom.

I use the name from one of my favourite films- 'One flew over the cuckoo's nest' Chief Broom escaped the loony bin!

I refer to the ongoing stooshie around who will pay for Scotland’s pensions if the Yes side win.

Ahh, sorry, I wasn't aware of that "discussion", not being in Scotland (yet).

I did watch a TV program in which it was suggested that the Russians were secretly moving the border with Georgia, and, slowly "stealing" more Georgian territory. It was even suggested that the Scots may do the same with Hadrians Wall (which is not the border anyway, I know), and gradually annexe Carlisle and Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
