The Retirement Thread

Off for a swim, soon. Luckily, because of the roadworks my bus will be late so my ol' farts bus pass will be OK to use 😋

I met a lady earlier who was heading up to Loch Earn to wild swim. She goes most days she said.

Cheaper than a swimming pool, will you be joining her in not paying to go swimming.

Nope! I can barely swim and hate being in water any higher than about chest height.

Well today will be active

for me anyway

morning SWMBO is muttering about new sheets and stuff so we might be going to Warrington

then we have to go to the grand kids house this afternoon and I will take the youngest and his Mum (the DIL) to pick up his new glasses

getting him to sit still will be interesting

anyway - after then we are bringing all 3 back and they are staying the night
not sure about tomorrow - there is a small narrowboat that someone has set up as a cafe on the canal
(Dave might be interested??)

so we might go and find it and have a drink - the kids will probably be amazed at the idea of a boat being a cafe
(the 12 year old will probably roll her eyes - she is practising to be a teenager!)

Anyway - no chance of a bike ride until after we drop them off at home tomorrow late afternoon!!!

Cool - well up there probably cold but you know what I mean

I used to like swimming in the sea
but I have problems with cold water

It hurts like crazy and I can;t breath unless I go in really slowly

so lake swimming in Scotland is probably not a good idea

Good morning. A lovely blue sky and sunshine but we only have 17⁰ forecast. Very comfortable. Today will be busy, later this afternoon I have cards group, then at 4.30 we're going to an Escape Room, a new experience, followed by dinner at Mowgli in Preston

I didn't sleep well and feel nackered. So just to help that I'm going to stretch and exercise next. I'll either feel a lot better or more nackered. If it's better I'll spend an hour filling my skip if it's more nackered then back to bed!!!!

Who would be a retiree?????

Nearly 7 mile wander done in a pleasant 11 degrees. I tried strawberries in my porridge this morning but didn't like it as well as banana.

I've walked from the bedroom to the bath room and then on to the kitchen.
