The Retirement Thread

[screenman]

That was a noisy night, off to the local police HQ later to play with a dent. It could be a good day for one way cycling.

Morning all on this windy Millar day. Going to my sons place this morning to repair his window facia. His blind was fitted onto the facia with only one screw and it looks like the weight of said blind has pulled it off of the wall. Hopefully just a few screws and plugs will rectify the situation.
Then out for lunch and a few ales.

One of those days when I am happy to NOT be playing golf.
Strong wind, cold and heavy showers.
Mrs D is out for the day so I have a BIG BIG decision to make. Do I go to the pub for lunch or makes myself comfy with a book and some Speckled Hen.
Back still not right but improving slowly, down to just one lot of tablets yesterday. Another session on the exercise bike when the tablets kick in then a chill.

Good morning. What a blustery rainy night that was. I didn't sleep at all last night. Still quite blowy here.

Party, and you've not invited anyone!

Sorry, very impromptu affair.......

50mph+ winds all thru the night here in North Yorkshire, not condusive to a good nights sleep. Sadly the daffodils have suffered, badly battered and many broken off. Shame.

Good morning, another bright and breezy morning, I didn't hear a thing last night but judging by the way the tree's are being blown around this morning it must have got quite lively.

I'm unexpectedly dogless and wifeless today and also 'Billy no mates' as they're all at w*rk. First time since retirement that I've found myself at a loose end. Would normally get out for a ride but with 60mph winds that doesn't seem like much fun.

So in the spirit of 'when life deals you lemons, make lemonade' I'm going up into the loft to see if I can find my kite.

Good morning. Best night's sleep for ages - 10.45 to 7.15 with only one wake up. Gareth has been, still is blowing hard.

Yesterday I completed all the tasks I set myself, very pleased with that. I told my club Committee that while happy to remain Club Secretary I need to step back from tasks I undertook but are not in my remit. It's about removing stress and worry - I've always been concerned to ensure I do the best for the membership.

Not sure about the rest of today but Occupational Therapist coming at 3.00pm.

Morning, highlight of the day is going to my diabetic eye screening and I have to go by bus as I won't be able to see very well to drive afterwards.

Visiting wife in Dumfries (still haven't sold our house in Stornoway). She had a meeting to go to so I went along for the ride - then went for a walk while she worked

Off to bed now then?

That is a pity, seems to happen all too often.

That's always a bugger. I get the same with my annual glaucoma test.

No. I will however probably have a snooze in the chair this afternoon.
