The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Morning all.
It's a bit breezy outside, but quite bright.
All the usual things to do, dog walking, pottering around the garden, a bit more restoration work on the bike, and the quite possibly a bimble to the pub for a pint or two

No rain here at the moment.
We're off to Countisbury Hill later to meet up with our best mates for lunch at the Blue Ball Inn.

I need to drag myself out of bed to fill a large bottle with water... FROM A TAP!!! Yorkshire Water just texted to say that they will be cutting off the water supply for pipe cleaning today.

My hands are shaking. It got me worried because my mum had Parkinson's Disease. I just looked it up though and apparently it is a common response to lack of sleep. Ah, they have settled down now. Still, it is a good hint that my body doesn't like my stupid sleep pattern. If it were not for blackout blinds I would not be sleeping at all... 30 minutes after sunrise this morning!

They probably thought no-one would need water that early on a Sunday. Two hours or so, and it should be back on.

That's what the text said. Unfortunately, whoever sent it forgot to update the placeholder for the time so the message said "... water off at hh:mm..."!

Was the message about an hour ago?
There's a major water burst, and the engineer is on his way.
"Updates to follow-Ismail."

Might have needed a bigger bottle.

Thought I would get a walk in before the rain arrived, but it came on half way round. That's my exercise done for the day.

It's been windy since quite early. I'm not going back out. My legs have had enough.
