The Retirement Thread

[BoldonLad]

I have a friend who, unbelievably, still uses a wall calendar!

When he comes up here and we have a future date to set, he photographs the appropriate page(s) of his calendar on his phone, he uses these to sort a date with me and then amends his 'proper' calendar accordingly when he goes home. 2025!

Mrs @BoldonLad insists on using a "real" diary to keep track of various dates etc.

She also has a "birthday" book, in which she records her relatives/friends birthdays, and postal address. The "birthday book" is arranged in Alphabetical order of Name (first name., obviously). It is impossible to find anything.

She does have a Samsung. S21 mobile phone, but, invariably, it is unused.

I have everything on my Google calendar. I would be lost without it.

Went to towbln and gave the car a bit of a run. There were loads of people in Mach. God knows why.

Gammon sandwiches and a bag of crisps for lunch today

a short tootle of a couple of miles with Mrs Tkk this morning. She wanted to check out the knee post cortisone injection, an improvement but not what she hoped. The small local meadow where I do my training was looking ethereal this morning, it's 500metres from my front door to the gate which is handy in case I'm having a wobbly day.

Morning all. Nice and bright this morning but surprisingly cold . Mrs exlaser has been out on a club ride and had overestimated the temperature and is now having a long hot bath to warm up.
I havnt done much this morning other than walk to the local cafe for a coffee and pick up croissants for lunch from the local Lidl .
In years past I would now be sat watching cyclocross on Eurosport but I am too tight to pay tnt £30 for the privilege. I have seen Warners ( the co owner ) of tnt are not happy with the viewer returns for some sport like rugby and are not going to renew the rights contract. Let’s hope cycling goes the same way, but with the whole Warners, Netflix, paramount take over battle going on . Who knows what will happen.
Anyway have a good day everyone 😀

Mrs Gunk still uses a lovely old A4 Filofax, I use a mixture of Google diary and Apple reminders. between us we seem to remember important stuff.
