The Retirement Thread

[SpokeyDokey]

At least 20C here snuggled under the duvet. 😁

Nothing much planned for the day, if the wind drops we might go for a walk.

The central heating is obviously on and we might even light the fire early pm and hunker down in front of that - we usually light it around 6pm this time of year.

Don't forget to read those meters today. 👍

HAGD all. 🙂

Morning all

Shopping and doggie walking first thing.
Then I've got to wash the van and pack a month's worth of clothes.
On Friday we will be off up the M5 to the Malverns for 3 nights before moving up to the Peak Dustrict for 8 nights. We then move on to Rutland Water for 2 nights on the way for 7 nights in North Norfolk. After that we go down to the Norfolk Broads for 6 nights then wend our way back home, stopping off near Bedford and Bath for 3 nights each.
Back home in the first week of May.
This will be our longest trip so far, around 1100 miles all in, including day trips. Quite looking forward to it.

I was wondering that as well, thought he'd popped in and I'd missed the post, but I think an old post had been resurrected.

Where's he gone, I missed that period of CC

It's the 31st March. I hope everyone without a smart meter takes one last meter reading for their supplier to make sure they don't charge you unduly at the new rates starting tomorrow. Every penny in our pocket instead of theirs is a win in my book.

Someone beat me to it Mr Spokey

I did wonder why you was putting it out when it is so cold today.

There are lots of bunnies in the field, all chasing each other around.

Happy?

Happy?

I am. It shows that finally Mixamatosis is no longer prevalent around here. Up to now, when the rabbit population increased there was always a sudden crash due to that horrible affliction. It was awful seeing rabbits going round in circles blind and disoriented.

We had to put them out of their misery. It was awful.

I was thinking more about the "bunnies".

Still no Mo ??...hope all is well.
Been to Aldi. My car goes in the garage which has a remote up and over door. So, it was only when I got out of the car at Aldi I realised just how bitter cold it is.....a shock to the system

Good morning folks,
Back home after our Covid extended stay in Edinburgh. Mrs Tenkaykev continues to improve, there's just the faintest of lines on the LFT. Slept really well last night, surprising how a long journey can be so tiring, even though we were sitting down for the majority of the time.
There's a northerly wind blowing so it felt chilly when I put the green bin out. We're planning on going for a walk / jog just to get some fresh air.
I think there must have been some behind the scenes tweaks to the way my Garmin watch works. I've been really impressed with the " body battery " function which uses heart rate variability and a few other metrics to suggest activity levels for the day. I usually look at it retrospectively and it has been pretty accurate in forecasting periods where I've subsequently felt more tired than usual. A couple of days ago a message popped up on my watch suggesting that I take it easy that day as I had had poor sleep and quite high stress during the night.
Time for some more coffee ☕️
Have a peaceful day folks👍
