The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

Good morning folks, I had to change my lunch cafe yesterday, I was planning on using the cafe in Morrisons on the Hollyhead road, they have a touch screen for ordering, when I got there I couldn't use the touch screen, it wouldn't respond to my touch, it was working, other people were using it, but I had zombie fingers and it wouldn't work for me, I swapped to the nearby Jubilee junction in Jubilee Crescent. The club was profitable, I won twelve quid. Shopping this morning, chores this afternoon, Hospital tonight.

Morning. We had a ground frost last night. The blossom on the cherry tree took a hit. Late frosts seem to be happening a lot in recent years.

Another bank holiday so lots of tourists will be about

Stay safe peeps

Revisiting a few old haunts from my childhood holidays on the way. (Grandparents lived in Bedford)
Meeting up with my cousin and his family tonight for a meal.

Morning. I am late. I was up back of 5 with a headache that hadn't shifted overnight so had a cuppa and painkiller and went back and actually dozed off for a while. Not sure what to be up to now.

Good morning folks,
Off to the Metropolis soon ( Poole ) 😁 an exhilarating morning of shopping for curtain poles and curtains that was put off from earlier in the week is now unavoidable.
Have a peaceful day folks ☕️👍☀️

Hope your good lady is progressing well.

She wasn't too good last night, she'd had an investigation under a sedative in the afternoon and I don't think it had fully worn off, I'll see how she is when I go tonight.

Morning folks my 'hot bed' mini greenhouse on the compost bin is working a treat! its nice and warm in there and will be able to grow anything tender, have some chillie peppers in at the moment and looking healthy.
My sweetpeas got clobbered by a wood pigeon ***** have tied some cotton around to protect them and some netting in the post. Sparrows are a pta as they dust bathe and peck at everything..little ***** and then theres cats dumping and digging where ive planted some annuals

Just back a nice wander in the sun. Reasonably peaceful before the throngs appear over the weekend.

Soon be lunchtime. I am ready for it as I didn't bother with breakfast with being later this morning. I have struggled for the last couple of years to get my weight where I am happy with it. I'm thinking about giving the 16/8 fasting method a go as I think it would suit me. I'll have my tea sharp at 5 then nothing but water or herbal tea until breakfast at 9am at the earliest. If I do some modest aerobic exercise every morning on an empty stomach, it might shift some of this flab.

@dave r Are you getting in for visits without problem? Thankfully, the rules seem more relaxed now. Hope they are getting to the bottom of the problem and get Mrs Dave on the mend soon. xx

I‘ve had a chicken Katsu curry from the Co-op. Never had one before and wasn’t sure what to expect. Maybe a bit too mild and aromatic for me I think but it was ok.
