The Retirement Thread

A battery lasts me at least a couple of weeks but tbh i dont need it all the time.
I have been told that is the wrong thing to do so I'm going to try wearing it all day.

I was told that if you wear them all day every day then your brain adjusts to hear better using the "new sound levels"

Especially as I have some tinnitus (apparently the constant whining isn;t my wife - who knew!)

so now that I hve better "outside sound" the n my brain has adjusted to ignore the tinnitus more

From Temu? Could be anything.. Give it a click & see what it says 😂

That sounds dangerous - these sites learn why you look at and feeds you more of the same

On Temu - only The Gods know what that could mean!!!

there have certainly been some things on the ads on here from Temu that I am wondering whether it is a shopping site or an "acceptable" front page for a porn mag!!!!

I always think that if I don`t know what it is, at least I won`t be forking out for it and furthermore, I don`t need it.

Good morning. The forecast is 90% rain and 12-15mph winds. We have clear skies, sun and no breeze. My bike is sat in the yard waiting for me. I can hear her purring with delight in anticipation of the ride that is ahead of us. Anthropomorphism rules. OK.

We did have more rain. 8-10mm again. The growers will be delighted. This is the golden level of rain, gentle, over a prolonged period so every drop is captured and soaks in to the soil. Good news.

Right. I'm off. I need to get my kit on, fill bottles, prepare snacks. It's a great route today into the Ribble Valley, the one downside is a really slow guy is joining us. This is a problem. If we don't announce we're riding we look mean and anti-social. If we do we get someone turn up who simply isn't up to the ride. I suspect we won't wait as we're all sick to death of it. The older we get...................

That's the reason I never ride in a group as I don't want to hold anybody back so I ride solo and don't bother anyone.

Morning, crappy night sleep and we have rain and it's cool cold too

But cold to you is 20°

Rain has just arrived and it is biblical with thunder and lightening.

Warm & sticky day.

Nothing to report apart from hacking back some Willows.

Only other thing is that only 22% of >65's use mobile payment methods although the number is steadily increasing - probably as the age demo' behind us turns 65. 🙂

Enjoy the balance of your day, all.

When I was paying for my MOT the other day and used my Apple Watch, the receptionist looked amazed and said she doesn’t even use her phone. She is several years older than me. Thankfully I have always loved my gadgets and tech so haven’t found adapting particularly difficult.

Only time I have used cash in the last >1 decade ago is for some tailoring alterations who only takes cash. I have an emergency tenner in the back of my phone case, but even that have been there yonks.

I use cash when I am getting my woof for the winter. The only other time we use cash is when Mr WD buys fish and chips. 😆
