The Retirement Thread

There was a sudden gust of wind, this afternoon, that blew my potted hydrangea over!

Yeah, sorry about that.

Good Morning. It's dark, weather update to follow. @Dave7 I hope you're feeling better today. It always bothers me when I read of any of us feeling very poorly.

I went to bed at 9.00pm, knew it was a mistake, and I'd be awake at 3.00am. On the dot. Mrs P was watching Devious Maids. Yes, this is an American TV series. Well, I've seen some shite TV in my time. There are four, FOUR, series. There will have to be a discussion. Mrs P's capacity for this nonsense is legendary. I couldn't stand it any longer but couldn't summon the energy to do something else.

Motivation is a problem at the moment. The last few days I've felt unable to do anything. Can't be arsed in truth. I get in these cycles from time to time, finding an excuse not to do anything.

Having a brew and will do the crossword before trying to sleep again.

Morning. It rained most of the night here. It’s to continue being wet and breezy all day. Like Paul, I am having to force myself to do much at the moment. If I get out, it will just be the riverside trail again I think.

I'm having blueberries in my porridge this morning 😋

Good morning all.
The sun is shining at the moment, but there are clouds gathering and some rain is forecast for this afternoon.
Our Daughter is calling in around lunchtime so MrsP and her are going shopping.
She is staying for tea also as her husband is up in Liverpool to watch the open top bus parade of the cup.
The first of the bin lorries is coming along our road, the second one won't be far behind.

Woke up this morning to find that myself and Mrs BL are great grand parents.

Morning all

A day of getting stuff ready for when the BiLs arrive tomorrow.
TT practice should start today, weather permitting.

This is my biggest downfall. Although I exercise quite a lot, I also sit for far too long in between. I was even wondering about getting a standing desk for the computer. I’ve pretty much sat here at the computer since breakfast.

I find stretching for 20 - 25 minutes a day very helpful and it does loosen up these old bones. BUT!!! I think you're the most consistent amongst us for taking daily exercise so don't beat yourself up over it. Your walks are to be applauded. Rather than a standing desk try 10-15 minutes stretching at lunch and tea if you feel you've had a day with a little too much sitting.

Morning.
Bright and breezy in London. Plan is Kew gardens today before getting train back.
Hopefully not as busy as on way here, it was rammed.
