The Retirement Thread

Too good for mundane news.

Today I’ve had my place confirmed to participate in the sheep drive across Southwark Bridge in September 🐑😎

Well done.

We've had an enjoyable and profitable evening down the club, not only was it very enjoyable as a bonus we both won at bingo and came home fifty quid up.

Finally relaxing. Been a busy day and Bruce has been with me all the way, but he has been wonderfully well behaved and well and truly earned a sausage at tea time.

Bet that sausage doesn;t last long!!!

(stop sniggering at the back - we know who you are!!!!)

Again, I agree.

The problem for me is that as I pick up the mileage (cycling & low-level walking) my time-gap needed to do either obviously gets bigger and bigger.

And, fitting a longer activity in between the iffy weather we have and/or other life activities becomes more problematic.

Maybe more shorter rides and shorter walks is the way to go...

What about a shorter bike, possibly a unicycle?

Anyway - more normal topic - dunno what is wrong with me - for the last few years I have tried to get up at 8 a.m. - which has often been a bit of a struggle as I find I am awake by 6 or 7
but recently I find I just fall asleep again and struggle to get up when it is already 9
I am also still on iron tablets - for the second time in a year - so I am wondering it there is something a bit wrong
I guess I have to wait until the 6 months or tablet comes to a close and then get a new blood test

With regards tablets, just been given a third set, to counter the side effects of the second lot(No longer being taken), that were started to counter the side effects of long term medication(34 different lots).

Yet to start on the latest two lots, as it's hoped they'll be effective. No guarantees given.

Morning, I've been shopping by trike. There was a dead deer on the cycle path.....it smelt a wee bit high so I left it where it was, on the way back it was gone.

It got better!!

Well, 0515 and I was up slurping coffee.
Lots of bitty stuff to do and ONE BIG decision* to make.
Daughter and SiL are here as I am 'cooking' a fish and chip lunch.
I use the word 'cook' loosely as its mainly frozen.
*I bought the wrong frozen chips. Badly labeled imo but once opened I found out they are the thin ones. I really need to get some of the chunkier ones so will need to nip out for them. aahhh well

TURKISH BARBERS
so, Paul, apart from getting your throat cut, what did you think??
I use a leci razor and if I leave it too long its a real pain. I have wondered about trying a Turkish....maybe once a month.
What think you good folk? (Welshie and Mo can be excused if they wish🙂)

I have risen!

With a migraine

Morning all.
It's trying to rain outside, Harry was out on patrol and came back in. Poppy and Daisy went out but didn't look too happy.
My task for today is too wait around until I get a message from MrsP to pick her up at South Mimms services. Her friends are dropping her off there and continuing up the A1on their way home.
So, it will be dog walking, domestics, and depending on the pick up time, I'll get a short ride out on the bike.
Our daughter is calling in after work for tea. I have chosen to do chicken fajitas, I have all the ingredients.
Another busy day in paradise.

Stay safe peeps.

It seems there are very few folk left on the forum that aren't called Dave.
