The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Sleep, what's that?

God knows...........it seems elusive these days! Sitting here drinking coffee. Still dark and it is raining and to be on pretty much all day. Think I will have a little jog whether it's wet or not as I didn't do much yesterday apart from a walk.

Snap! I shall finish my book, brew and hopefully doze for a couple of hours.

Good morning folks.

Morning all fellow retirees. On my second mug of tea and reading a book about the bizarre curiosities of London throughout the ages. As per normal the dog will go out shortly and afterwards a few miles on the bike. I am going to trawl the charity shops, of which there are many in Barnet for some reading material as I am getting a little short of books. As I have to pass the Mitre on the way home it would be churlish not to call in for a couple of pints

Torrential rain here but I still managed 6 miles in the mud and huge puddles. Wasn't worth even attempting to avoid them so just splashed my way through......quite good fun actually.

Well, what a rorrible day . Rain is very heavy. Afraid its the jolly old exercise bike, situps and weights for me.
Some odd jobs to finish. I didnt put the kitchen clock back up after decorating so that needs doing. I need to go out for a new radiator shelf. I will try Wicks as its nearest but failing that its B&Q which is a pain to get to.
Have a good day and stay dry if possible

We drop into The George for aperitifs, before picking up F&C from Squires to eat back home.

A few days ago we bought some cod loin from Aldi.....together with a can of mushy peas. 6 minutes in frying pan, fresh bread and butter......very yummy.

Squire's fish and chips are very good.
We share a 'snack size' portion of cod and chips with mushy peas which costs £4.85. This is plenty for the two of us, with a piece of bread 'n butter.

This is half a portion of 'snack sized'.
No wonder there's so many porkers about.
