The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Good evening or should that be good night? Anyway. I'm not sure where the day has gone. A lot of admin this morning, some batch cooking, then coffee with my cycling buddies before dossing around for the evening. I find it increasingly difficult to be motivated to do anything after 7.00pm.

Every day's a school day. It's a fact, there's a reason why the days/weeks/years seem to fly by as we get older. It's to do with memory and the brain's need to store experiences. As a child everything is new; the brain works very hard to create, store and make markers for these experiences. These thousands of memories being created give a sense of time feeling longer. As adults we've already created many of these memories so when we experience something again the brain doesn't record it thus creating fewer markers, fewer memories, the only thing that is recorded is a new experience, if we don't have any the day has flown by. When we look back it seems as though time has passed more quickly.

I only heard this yesterday. I think it's a fascinating concept. It made me wonder about how my little ones are experiencing and processing all this new stuff, every hour of every day. No wonder they get tired and cranky.

There are always new things to experience.

Things like Blackburn beating Wrexham maybe

I've always liked pink. They are one of my smaller pairs..

I'm glad i didnt read that before I went to bed, I would have had a seriously bad night.

Morning all.
A decent sleep was slept,.......its called sleeping the sleep of the righteous.
One thing to do and its a real pita. I have some tiles broken in the storm and found out they are no longer made. I have tried a couple of reclamation places with no success as they were an uncommon low angle type. Not sure what to do if I cant locate any.
Have a good day peeps.

Morning all

Meeting up with the gang in Taunton today. Lads are visiting the motor museum and girlies are shopping. We'll all meet up for lunch on the way back.

Enjoy yourselves. Hope the weather does its best for you.
BTW
That was a crafty move of yours, giving Burglar Pete false details so he cant rob you.

Well it a bright and sunny day here so far, still quite windy though. Appointment with the nurse later this morning for my annaul mot, might have a potter along the harbour to the cafe after and stop in at aldi on the way back to pick up some yoghurt, there the only ones that do ltr tubs of greek yoghurt to go with my overnight oats.

At our age you have to look after what oats you have left.
