The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Not much planned. I have to take my granddaughter to town later and that's it.

Morning folks think i will put some new tyres on, still some life left in them but i feel im more likely to get a puncture for the sake of eeking out [funny word that 'eeking'] a few more miles. Or should i make a shrine at home dedicated to the patron saint of tyre protection
Sunny again so maybe ..go for a ride, do some gardening, walk by the sea, spoiled for choice

Why do you all get up so early? 🙂

Cuz electricity is cheaper of peak put the radiators on to take the edge off then switch'em off before it costs more to heat than setting fire to £20 notes

Morning all

Another nice sunny day in the offing.
Yay! Tis Fish Friday

Right - I'm almost awake - been up for about half an hour

Yesterday was busy -
Power washed all the back patio and most of the drive - took a few hours
far too much manual labour - I chose a career in IT so I could sit down all day!

so today I have to put some treatment on it to get rid of the staining - especially at the front where itdoesn;t get much sun
then finish power washing the far end of the drive - which will require some magic with hose connectors and some old hose otherwise it won't reach

No idea why I'm suddenly feeling like doing stuff - maybe I'm ill??

Hello. The sun is shining. Today? Well full of excitement. Grass needs cutting, ironing, glass recycling bin needs washing out and I should pop to Aldi for fresh veg.

Whooo hoooo! What a day.

Morning for the second time. A cool but gorgeous morning here and sun and blue sky already.

Hilly walk done. Wish I was as tall as my shadow and I might be able to run fast!

We are going to leave cutting the grass for as long as we can as the ride on mower is run on petrol

I wonder where the rest of the bike is Can’t do with jobs left half finished

Good morning all.
Another lovely day here.
I've had a bit of a soar throat for a couple of days now and a bit of a cough. Today's LFT has showed a faint positive, so MrsP has passed it on. She is still testing positive at the moment.
A few days of gardening lay ahead.

I've never been tempted to try the downhill trail. I'm sure it would be far too technical and scary for my mountain biking skills!

Clutching at straws trying things but I have just ordered another joint supplement to try. Met a lady the other day said she took them and thought they helped. Same firm that makes Yumove for dogs, also make one for humans. I don't hold out much hope but you never know.

Morning all.

Why do you all get up so early? 🙂

I have to go downstairs about quarter past six to unlock so my Good Ladies carer can get in, carer's here between half six and seven most mornings, I'll normally either get up when the carer arrives or about seven depending who arrives first. this morning my phone went just after six, it was my Good Lady phoning from downstairs because she needed to use the commode, I helped her with the commode then went back to bed till the carer arrived at twenty to seven.

As they are getting older and are running out of time they like to catch every moment and then dying in bed will be an option
