Yes, I need to go to Tesco this morning, then on to the Market.
Good morning fellow retirees,
Yet another sunny day here in Yokelshire.
Mrs Tenkay ventured down to the Local Lidl for the first time since lockdown began. She said she felt uneasy and although all the usual precautions were in place, it's not an experience she wants to repeat. That's a plus for the local shops, just wondered how many others feel the same.
Had a text yesterday informing me that I must shelter in place until 30th June 😭
I'm trying really hard to stay positive, some days it's a bit tough.
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🏃🚲🚶🌞

Morning all fellow wheezers,
A nice bright start to the day here, I have a little bit of shopping to do locally, so I will incorporate that with a bike ride.
I have some young cabbage plants to plant out, the variety is Greyhound, a pointy quick growing type. The Savoy cabbage seed is just poking through as well.
The beetroot is coming on nicely as are the peppers and tomatoes in the grow house.
It's all go in the garden.
Stay safe everyone.

I'm goi g to chuck the dog in the Volvo and take him to a nearby lake for a walk. Hopefully being a weekday it won't be too busy.
Have you been told yet Monkers? Its tradition that new retirement thread members send me 50 quid

Good morning Monkers. Another new member joins the exclusive fold.
Did you actually make the tea before you lost it?

Chin up 10K 🙂 some days are tough. I know I've felt them, so many people I miss seeing. I try to tell people when I'm miserable. Helps me.
I have friends about 50 metres away with compromised immune systems on a 12 week lockdown. They have begun to venture out more, picking quiet times for a walk. Can you do this?
I've been OK with supermarkets but I'm not going in to other shops. My shopping habits have changed, probably for a very long time. In future I feel my contact will mainly be limited to people I trust.
One thing I've learnt is perhaps I'm too busy. Maybe I should set aside one day a week for doing nothing?

That exactly what I do. Besides a pleasant dog walk I set Sundays aside for loafing about and snoozing the the sofa in lieu of watching a film.

Good morning. Feeling a bit nackered this morning. Anyway grey skies, no wind - yet - and 9C.
Extra porridge this morning. I always increase by 50% when I have a proper ride planned. 9.30 me and another old duffer depart for bacon barns, cake and coffee at the Potter's Barn in Ribchester. Should be there for 11.00. I may have mentioned this already!
Their opening is all over the club FB page...... looks like they could have a busy weekend. Hope so. Great people and food, we have to help them survive. They've always looked after us.
Home to an afternoon of planting on the allotment as the frost seems to have departed.

Wow a dog that walks on water - talented family obviously.
Can he print £50 notes too?
