The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. Wordle done very quickly in 4.

It is just 2 degrees and misty at the moment. Hopefully nice once it burns off. Hoping to jog a bit depending on how the legs feel. I take much longer to get going now and can’t just go out the door and start running right away like I used to. I find it takes a mile of brisk walking to loosen things up and get the heart rate and breathing up a bit first.

A quick good morning. I will report back later.
We watched a film last night.....called Collateral with Tom Cruise as a hit man that must take out 5 targets in one night. Very fast moving.
Cool morning but should soon warm up.
Oh......I have my scan booked for Friday at 0910. Hospital is approx 10 miles away and its peak traffic.
And.........I am planning to buy and cook some ribs today. Never done them before so it should be interesting.
See you later
Ohh, forgot. Chorley Paul.......nice to see the weather is good for you. It proves that the sun DOESN'T always shine on the righteous

Morning. Bright but a bit frosty here at the moment. Should warm up later thought.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all.
Wordle in 5.
Looks like another fine day in the offing.
More of the usual things to do today, so another busy day ahead.
Dave, my next door neighbour brought two bikes round yesterday for repairs.
1, was just the rear brake cable had come unattached from the cable guides.
2, the front tyre need pumping up. The rear gear cable was seized, but with some penetrating oil I got that working. He was given bike no 2 which has obviously been outside for a long while.
I've said before that he has no mechanical skills whatsoever
Let's see what today brings.

Yeah. Right

Morning again. 5k plod done. Still very slow compared to even a couple of years ago, but my pace for the same route has got slightly better over the last few goes so got to be happy with that.

It was only 2 degrees and misty when I set out but the sun is trying to burn through now and we should be in for another lovely day. It's been a great little spell of weather.

I'm up again, talk about sleepless in Seattle North Baddesley

Good Morning folks,
There’s a haar on the Firth of Forth this morning ( inspired by Flick and Mo, I’m getting the hang of the dialect 😉) Mrs tenkaykev starts her final year of her sixties today, all our plans for trips out to meet friends and have meals out have had to be postponed until she’s over Covid. She’s delighted with her presents, I got her an OMM Kamleika jacket in a delightful blue, so I’m in credit on the Brownie points 😁
Have a peaceful day folks 😎☀️🎂

I've got the blue one too. It's a lovely shade.

@numbnuts My Garmin wasn't too impressed with my sleep either! I seem to get night about. A reasonable night followed by a horrendous one.

We’re trying to work out how the hood folds, there’s a small elasticated section inside the hood but its quite shallow. Any ideas Mo? ( kamleika 4, mines over ten years old and a different design that rolls away )

Never looked to be honest. I just leave it flapping about.............along with everything else that flaps about when I run these days!

Still in bed, Mrs SD snoring softly beside me and all is well in the world.

Biggest news so far today is that my pee looks to be finally clear of post-operative bleeding.

Oh, and I just wordled in a miserable 5. I do look forward to my bed-wordling as I am afraid that this, kindling and cuddling are the totality of my fun-in-the-sack activities for the next month or so. 😲

The day ahead includes a short all-I-can-manage walk, a serious kindling session on one of the sofas and a long Netflix-moment watching the latest, and brilliant, instalment of F1 season reviews.

Have a happy and productive day all. 👍
