The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

My action timer is definitely needed! I have a daily alarm set for 18:00 anyway to remind me to take my warfarin, which I did this evening, then I glanced down at my laptop and... apparently seconds later my 19:00 timer alarm went off. An hour had vanished just like that and I hadn't moved from the sofa! I jumped up and wandered about doing odd jobs for a couple of minutes.

Back to sitting down with the laptop and ANOTHER hour has nearly gone, just like that... I'll take the 20:00 opportunity to have a pee break, then spend another hour correcting the internet (not quite all of it!) before getting up again at 21:00 to make this evening's salad. Mug of tea at 22:00...

I have to ask the question - does life get any better than this? (I'm hoping that the answer is 'yes', or at least a cautious 'maybe'! )

Possibly

I've spent most of the day in the garden.
Dahlias planted out, some in the borders, some in pots.
The grass has been cut, and a couple of shrubs that have been in pots for years have been split up and are now planted in the garden.
Another busy day.
Time for another mug of tea.

Bit of gardening, resulting in the need for a trip to the tip. Put up the bunting for tomorrow’s street party. Cod with clementines for dinner and now listening to Spotify’s “Jubilee playlist” with a glass of 🍷

Not too bad, we'd snow forecast for the weekend. And the council reacted according to the forecasts, we'd the gritters out* in the rain last night.



*In June!!

Good morning folks, woke really early and couldn’t settle so I’m reading a book. Looking after granddaughter while mum does parkrun, it’s Jubilee parkrun so people are bringing cake and dressing up a bit 🇬🇧🍰

Good morning Kev and everyone else .
Last night I was so tired. My body felt tired.
I was in bed and asleep before 10 but had a poor, restless night......then I was awake and up by 0500.
I will likely be back in bed by 10.00.

Morning. Similar to yesterday with a cool, overcast start before the sun breaks through and warms up again later.

I’ll just head out for a wander after my cuppa.

Good morning from a dull, grey and windy Coventry, my bimble has been postponed, which is a shame as I've got a new pair of pedals to ride, I've spent years on SPD click R light release pedals and have now treated myself to a pair of PD-ME700 SPD Pedals in Black and was looking forward to my first ride on them. Carer was early, quarter past six, my Good Lady has now gone back to sleep on the settee.

Morning all.
It's drizzling outside and the forecast has changed a bit. The rain is not now coming my way, we'll see.
A trip to the Vets. this morning.a general checkup up and booster jabs for Millie the Collie.
This afternoon we are meeting a couple of friends for lunch at The Gate in Arkley, which is where Tony Blackburn lives who I am listening to at the moment on the radio.
Another busy day in paradise.
