The Retirement Thread

[screenman]

A morning was spent in my office—there are still lots of things to sort out. Then, around midday, I went to the gym, followed by a visit to friends and then a mile and a half in the swimming pool this evening. I should add that I am on a mission to get the fitness back that I lost during the hospital period, and I want to fill my time up. Fishfinger sandwiches and a beer for supper—nice.

Well, I've had a busy day.
MrsP and myself went to the nursery and bought £165 worth of plants, compost and equipment.
The afternoon was spent weeding the front garden, and planting bedding, geraniums and begonias, whilst MrsP was planting pots, and various hanging baskets.
Then I repaired idiot Dave's latest puncture. After a hot bath to soak my aching muscles I am now relaxing with a large gin and tonic or two.
The weather was very warm but is due to change a bit from tomorrow.

The girls school was maybe 1 mile away. I grew up so innocent/ignorant.

Me too - the opportunities I missed looking back!!!!

Do any of you retirees suffer from lack of motivation? Every time I want to go for a ride, I find an excuse for not doing so. My last one was one week ago and I have only been out twice this month. I can't blame the weather as it is perfect at the moment. I don't have an indoor trainer like Mo so I have to go out. This month, I am 130 kms down on May last year with only 11 days to go. I must give myself a good kick up the a**e and take that bike out . I am a lone rider so can't rely on someone else to motivate me.

Could be worse. I haven’t been out since last August! It’s the ever increasing traffic that bothers me now. I’m increasingly nervous in it. I think that’s why I prefer walking or running now where I am on the right and can see approaching traffic

Other than this you've not done much!

Never seen one in real life.
Seen adders but never a slow worm.

We've got Slow Worms in our garden. I put some old roofing tiles on the ground, down by my compost heap, for them to live under.

Good point, it is the day after yesterday, or is it the day before tomorrow.

Morning. I seem to get up earlier and earlier as the mornings get lighter.

A tad chilly this morning to start as the sky is so clear. I think I’ll get out by 5 and do a decent walk.

Morning all, I will not need to get the hosepipe out today, it was raining heavily a short while ago. Have a nice day.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Ironing day today

4 miles in and about the same to still go. Not a cloud in the sky.
