The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. I’ve not really slept. As I’ve been feeling a bit lethargic I stupidly bought an energy drink at the shop yesterday, and while I enjoyed it and the little boost it seemed to give for a few hours, the fact I have been on decaf for over 2 years obviously meant I had no tolerance for caffeine so my brain decided it wasn’t remotely interested in sleeping. I won’t be trying that again!

MrsDs going to LIDL this morning, so I think I'll nip out for a blat over Exmoor on the Barracuda.

[Paulus]

Good morning all.
A sunny start to the day here.
The first of the bin lorries has been down our road.
I'll be out and about on the bike later

I've just halved and prepped a grapefruit for breakfast then remembered that it reacts with my Statins.

MrsPete will be having grapefruit for breakfast 😂

Not good with some blood pressure meds either.

The grapefruit ban is really disappointing. My closest substitute is Princes tinned rhubarb:

…not as good as grapefruit, but close enough to start the day. Give it a try.

My nearest Lidle is awkward to get to because of busy roads. Pity as I like thier bakery section.
Aldi does me for most things and is easier to get to.

I believe not, though I'm not on them..

51 miles around and over the top of Exmoor this morning. Longest run I've done on it since I bought it.
Perfect weather and bike ran faultlessly.
Gave it a good thrashing on the way back and I now have a lot more confidence in the integrity of the motor.

 

[Dave7]

Got my walk in, only a mile today.
Off for lunch at the pub. I need special dispensation from Dirk as I fancy fish and chips.

Afternoon

I really like grapefruit but have really had to scale it back.
I do have a little very Infrequently though.

 

[PeteXXX]

There are a few Statins that are ok with grapefruit. 👍
