The Retirement Thread

Snooze snoozed 👌💤

Mine to. I am now part way around my 2nd (short) walk. Back home to watch the rugby final next.

Migraine. Rough.

That raises an interesting point where we agree just to keep the peace.

We all do it I guess, to a greater or lesser degree.

A cultural thing too, in all probability.

Americans are far more direct/blunt ime, and logically they are more honest.

I find myself implying agreement (by a non-commital shrug) to the young offspring of friends who it would be potentially awkward to get into a red-hot debate with. Annoying as they can sometimes be annoying with their ageist comments.

Yes, we have some good friends who hold diametrically opposite views to us. Us/them. Lab/Reform 😲 Brexit bad/Brexit good, immigrants........you get the picture. I've given up remarking on anything like this in their company........it doesn't end well and we have plenty of other things to discuss.

Yet my cycling buddies and me are two Lab, one Con. We have brilliant conversations over many political topics.

It's strange.

Anyhow. I started my G&T at 5.30, the alcohol and sleep thing. My Cervelo is out of the box clean and shiny, unless we have really good weather she will hibernate under her dust cover for a while.

Plenty of small tasks achieved as well including grass cutting. Mrs P is in the bath. The pasta bake is in the oven. The two are connected........I have to persuade Mrs P to get out so I can have tea.......😋

Apologies to @SpokeyDokey .....this may tip him over the edge.........pasta bake. We like some veggies in ours, I like cauliflower, Mrs P broccoli.........so I put the cauliflower at one end of the dish and broccoli at t'other end......😃

Had a huge clear out today, been meaning to do it for a while. Goodness it feels good!
