The Retirement Thread

good morning folks, and a very happy birthday to our welsh dragon. . I'm laying in this morning, typing this whilst listening to my Good Lady sleep.

@Tenkaykev my comment, stress comment not advice, would be to avoid the farmers market regardless of underlying health issues. If Mrs P's experience yesterday is typical usually quieter food outlets are going to get very busy.

We've been avoiding crowded places for nearly three weeks. If I have to go in a shop I wash my hands as soon as I leave etc.

Mrs P is asthmatic and I've asked her to stay out of supermarkets. She's not really taken that on board.

OK I must go and wash the kitchen ceiling.

Thanks Paul,
I will cycle up there but observe from a distance 😁
Perhaps Mrs Tenkay can launch herself into the fray whilst I stay on the periphery looking after the bikes.

I could also assume my Alter Ego from a fancy dress parkrun a few years back.

Morning all
If this CV stuff keeps up for the rest of the year, we'll all be walking around like Marvin the Paranoid Android after a few weeks.
Depressing, ain't it?

On a lighter note, at least I'm one of the luckier ones - living in a beautiful area, with a great village community and not having to worry about job security.
I can't imagine what this situation must be like for someone living in a 17th floor inner city flat, on a zero hours contract.

Oh....... and happy birthday @welsh dragon

So.......pubs and restaurants are closed. Do I go to ALDI in the morning and panic buy whisky?

No chance..... I bought all the stock on I wish you luck with that.

 

[Paulus]

So long as it's not corned beef

Corned Beef and Branston pickle. Sandwiches of the gods.

Mr WD got 3 bottles of whiskey for hus birthday a week or so ago. So he is ok.

Morning all on the first day of lockdown. The sun is shining but the breeze is a bit strong. MrsP, I and the dog will be out for a long walk with sandwiches and a flask of tea and a bottle of water, much like @PaulSB . Old school tactics are called for in these mad days.
Our little greengrocers and butcher have all the food stuffs that we need, although the panic buyers have rediscovered the small shops. I asked George the owner yesterday if he hoped all the new customers would stay, and he emphatically said he hoped not. He and his wife and sons are re stocking twice a day to keep up with demand.

I have belatedly risen!

I am a bit sore after yesterdays flying lesson.
Today was a FIRST for us. Sat in bed at 0700 listening to Tony Blackburn while drinking a vodka n orange. Today will be a chill one
No plans..... I did have but am pretending to be in too much pain (hope she doesn't read this)

Corned Beef and Branston pickle. Sandwiches of the gods.

Can't disagree with that.

I'm back. Did 2 loops of the trail this morning while it was quiet so 6.5 miles. If I do require any more fresh air or exercise later I can have an hour on the bike.

Weetabix and banana time.

I just cant enjoy weetabix**. You pour the milk on and 10 seconds later its all soggy.
At least with shredded wheat, bran flakes or even rice crispies they stey crunchy.
