The Retirement Thread

[rustybolts]

A slight improvement as I have slept till 03.15 instead of the normal 0200.
In case you are interested is -1°

Did you do a test to see if your PSA level is raised ?

Dear sweet coffee!

Did you do a test to see if your PSA level is raised ?

Remind me (as I'm going senile) how do I do that ?

Morning all

Taking the bus to Minehead at 10.30 to attend an opticians appointment at 11.00.
Will be lunching with mates in Wetherspoons afterwards.

Good morning, yet another sunny day☀️ Panels have already exceeded the total generation of February 😎
Mrs Tkk made her " signature dish " ( mushroom risotto) using the new induction hob. Took a bit to get used to the controls as you can't go by the height of the flame, but she mastered it and remarked that the handles of the pan didn't get as hot as with the gas hob ( think David Carradine in the " Kung Fu " TV series where he has to lift the glowing hot stone ).
Today is the day that I finally start training for Sunday's 10k, not left it too late have I ? 😉

I have a 'single' induction hob which is enough for me. I like it.
TBH I only use it for basic things like fried egg or pasta.

We seem to have got rid of that imposter

As expected, a frosty start but bright and sunny. Supposed to reach 12° later.
I'm not sure yet but I may be going for my weekly lunchtime drink today.....what an exciting life I live.

Up early this morning (about 6.30am) in the workshop volunteering all day today.

I have a new " game " when I get up in the night for a pee, I try to guess what the time will be on my watch face ( I have the face set to analog during the day, but it automatically switches to a digital display after dark ). Bonus points are awarded if the digits are sequential or palindromic ( 2:34, 4:24 ).

I find that it helps me to check the time very quickly

but the key is to get up and go for a pee even if I don;t feel I need to

the slight movement seems to help plus the knowledge of roughly what time it is
i.e. is it nearly getting up time or stil the middle of teh night - as this means I don;t worry if it is 7:xx and I don;t go back to sleep fully

worrying, and wondering and thinking are the things that will keep me awake

In my mind every one is different - so knowing what other do can help - but you have to find you own best way
and it will change over time

When I am asked how I like my coffee I normally reply "Black as God intended"

milk in coffee is teh best way of spoiling it - IMO!

Dear sweet coffee!

What's tha done?

 

[mistyoptic]

Dear sweet coffee!

Is that a variation on civet sweet coffee?

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

What's tha done?

I can see having sugar in it - just not milk!

whiskey is just silly - put it in a glass at the side!!
putting it in the coffee just makes the alcohol evaporate
Hence Irish Coffee is just daft and for simpletons!
