The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

Wonder if ColinJ did manage to enjoy the "summer"?

No - I was asleep!

I'll try again later today after I get 6 more hours sleep in...

Don’t forget to look after yourself and your own mental health within the bigger picture of being your wife’s main carer . I was lucky with my mum because it’s more semi detached so it’s easier to get help . You really do need to push the council social worker to get a couple of hours a month extra care so you can go for a ride or even just go for a walk or a coffee stress free . Unfortunately to get this you might have to lay it on thick and say you cannot continue to look after your wife with out it .
If ever you want to chat to someone that’s detached from the situation , remember I am only a mile away and anything said to me will not go any further.

Thank you.

Off to Barnstaple for some shopping first thing.
Dropping in to the caravan storage to pick up a couple of things on the way back.
More gardening to do later.

A bright but cool start here so a brisk walk up the hill done. Gorgeous morning though and should warm up a bit soon.

Just £25 from Ernie this month but better than nothing.

**if I manage it I may even force a beer down

Been sat in the conservatory with the door open......a blackbird was singing its heart out......really beautiful.
When it went a bl**dy wood pigeon took over. They must have the most boring, repetitive sounds there are.

Morning we have washing done, and I've cleaned the inside on my computer it's a wonder the fans didn't stop working and over heat.

Dropped in to my local brewery on the way back from town and picked up a case of IPA for the week ahead.
