The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Morning all, a cloudy start to the day here.

Wordle in 4

A few things to do today.
I have to do the paper work for the council to install the drop kerb. Legal agreement papers and all that. The original copy had to go in the post, and scanned copies of them and a photo of the driveway in an email with proof of final payment.

Our daughter is dropping in later for dinner.

And then early evening, ITV4 is doing a nightly highlights programme on the Paris-Nice race which starts today.

Enjoy your day everyone.

We had a drop kerb put in about twenty years ago. Had to apply to the council, get the paperwork sorted and then choose from a shortlist of three approved contractors. Spoke to a charming lady at the council about which contractor to use ( they were all a very similar price 🤔😉) she said they were all equally as good, I thanked her and then said “ off the record, who would you use?”
and chose the one she mentioned.

Morning. I had an almost 4 mile run/jog/plod Definitely closer to a plod! It was hard work today. No doubt the after effects of lots of walking yesterday followed by a poor nights sleep.

I watched The Father last night. Sad, but really well written and acted and gave a really good insight of what dementia must feel like from the sufferers point of view. A modern remake of The Ipcress File starts tonight so I'll give that a go.

A frosty start again here but the sun is streaming in now.

I know that now. It could be 6 inches wide and 2 feet long. But it isn't a square

and even better it could be 144" x 1"

3 deg and feels like -1 however the sun is shining so it looks like we will have another lovely day when it warms up. I can already feel warmth coming through the windows

Mr WD has dried apricots. They don't taste very nice and the outside is really tough bleh

As I said, if you can find the unsulphured ones they are completely different. They are luscious and succulent, no resemblance to the orange colour of the ones you get in the supermarkets.

Back from a couple of mile plod with Mrs Tenkaykev. Wind was cold but the sun made a welcome appearance. Just having a pint of diluted squash before grabbing a shower and a bite to eat ( though I couldn't resist scoffing the five dried apricots I posted a photo of )

So nice here I got another gentle stroll in before it gets too busy. I was starting to see quite a few visitors to the area as I was heading home. I met a local lady with her pooch who was telling me about a promising walk not too far away which I must try some day.

I see you can get them on Amazon. I suffer from heartburn so are they better?

40 mile ride done. Most enjoyable, weather nice and as a single rider it was nice to join up with a group of "similar age" riders for about 5 miles before we went out seperate ways.
