The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

I went to bed slightly earlier than usual but then got woken up by Amazon emailing me at 03:30. I forgot to enable 'Do Not Disturb'! I just got another message from someone else. In between I woke another couple of times due to overHeating. It must be 20 C in my bedroom.

So, I feel very tired even before getting up. I have to decide whether to get up now, snooze later OR snooze now, get up later... It is a difficult decision!

It is going to be a bit warm for strenuous cycling during the day so I might just do my lumpy little ride to pick up a Metro. I could go out this evening to do more once it cools down a bit, though there's a risk of rain.

Oh, we have roadworks in the town centre so the main roads are clogged during the day. Fortunately, the work is only scheduled to last 30 weeks. Yes, all the way into 2023... What are they doing that takes that long, a sensitive archaeological dig?!!!

None lasting into next year.

Not to be too graphic but I got up early, felt ok, then promptly upchucked. Been back in bed since.
Think I am feeling better now

Just shy of 30C, at present, and it's to get warmer yet.

It's 25 deg in my house but there is quite a breeze. The sun has gone and It lòoks like we could expect rain.

Council disagree with that, some of the work has been completed.

The sooner, the better... Currently daytime jams from the Halifax, Burnley and Rochdale directions!

The old works, just completed, created some new ones.

But I agree, they're a nightmare.

I'm not sure what happened but earlier on my get up and got up and left, just after tear the news was on and I was reading an article on my tablet and next thing the one show was on. Today I've got the front bedroom curtains down, washed, dried and back up again, I got the shopping done this morning, gave my self a shock, I put fuel in the car for the first time this month, 18 quid for 10 litres, last time it was 16 quid, two years ago it was costing me 11 quid for 10 litres. I've been doing odd jobs this afternoon, the cooker got cleaned, some of the pads on the feet of furniture got replaced, we've got laminate floor, some of the pads were just hanging on, the little table my Good Lady uses got its bolts tightened, and I've been doing the watering in the garden tonight.
