The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Morning fellow retirees, nice and sunny with only a slight breeze. Will be able to get out on the bike a little later. Have got the dog to take out first and breakfast to make, but then

Good morning all. The rain has finally stopped and the wind has died down. Woooohooo. But it is bloomin cold.

Back in bed then I suppose.
Supposed to be a bit more settled next week.

hooray, after 3 months off due to knee injury I got out on the bike yesterday.

Blowing a hooley so bloody hard work but managed 16mph+ average over the 16 mile course, so was very pleased.

Might be slow for some but thats good for me, especially after that time off and with the weather. seems like spin cycling might actually help maintain fitness

Well done, better than my 13 mph average.

Sun's out!
Off out exploring Exmoor this morning, then back to watch the F1.

Well, who is foolish enough to go to the Lake district in march for a weeks holiday ? Me and the good lady + Sadie our beagle that’s who !
We arrived yesterday amid atrocious weather, heavy ‘horizontal’ rain driven by 50mph winds. Woke today to a bright sunny morning got dressed to take Sadie out and bugger me, it’s snowing. The worst is over (we are told) so looking forward to some good walking, fuelled by copious quantities of cake.

Cold here with the gales fading later. Got visitors today so still no chance to get out on the bike.

Weather calming down this week, our wedding anniversary to celebrate and a trip to the Dales planned so lots to look forward to.

Rain has stopped!! Only grey and breezy at present.

Tripped over on Friday night banging the area around my operation scar and nose which bled somewhat. Not a good plan. Headache all day yesterday but this morning it seems to have reduced significantly.

Glad your feeling better.

Attention non sleepers.

For decades I've woken at 3.00, 4.00, 5.00am. Something I hoped would change after retirement but didn't.

Since leaving hospital I've been taking Bimuno to improve my gut bacteria after taking a lot of anti-biotics.

Bimuno contains prebiotics which are reported to improve sleep as is the product itself and the same for a healthy gut bacterial mix.

I can't prove any of this other than to say I'm regularly sleeping 8, sometimes 9 hours with perhaps just one wake up to visit the bathroom. Could be worth a try.

Morning all. I got up at 07.30 then asked myself why? so went back to bed and fell asleep for another hour.
Looks a bit wild out there but we are over the worst of it.
Breckie will be fresh pineapple, blueberries, apple and banana eith yogurt.
Rather than chance going out I will do the exercise bike again, I can work up a good sweat on that while having a nosey up the close .

Nice views from Dunster Castle.
