The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

The sun is shining. It is 13:45. Maybe I should get up, have something to eat. Do something...

I think the winter, Covid, Ukraine and so on have taken their toll. Really nice cycling conditions but I am struggling to motivate myself to go out for even 20 minutes.

Yep. It’s felt like living in some sort of mad limbo for the last 2 years. Sadly, I can’t see much improvement for a while.

I somehow managed to set fire to my vacuum cleaner. A stray member must have been sucked up into the dust bag. Luckily I got the vacuum outside toot sweet and managed to open it up and pull the dust bag and filter out. I don't think the cleaner itself is damaged.

And then, we need to get a drainage specialist in to repair the drainage pipe to the septic tank, so that's money we will have to spend.

What next I wonder.

Congratulations! that has got to be the best typo ever!

Not much enthusiasm but I know even a quick trip to the shops and to pick up a paper will help so I will force myself to do it.

When I get back I am going to start working on a list of things to do...

I have multiple bike jobs to tackle/arrange for bike shops to tackle.

I want to finish game #1 so I can start writing games #2 and #3. They are actually more likely to be successful since both are interesting and novel variations on popular types (jigsaws and wordfit).

I want to learn bass, guitar and piano. Also to get to grips with the incredibly powerful but complicated music software that I own.

Lots to do. Just some serious mojo locating work to do first!

I am off out... See ya later!

I have no idea if my vacuum cleaner is still working. I only have 1 dust bag left and no filters, so just ordered more. I will be well miffed if it doesn't work after buying them

Have you tried the button? The one which says on/off........

We had a very pleasant couple of hours in town, some shopping and a nice lunch in the museum cafe, jacket spuds. On the way back we stopped at the little shop in New Union Street for a gossip with our friend who helps run it.
