The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Morning all

Might go for a drive up onto Exmoor this morning and have a walk with the doggie.

Another cool grey start here, forecast is for sun and 16 degrees later.
I wonder what Sturgeon has in store for us today.

I think it's time everyone was away back to work and school to give us retirees peace and quiet again!

Note to @Drago .
Just reading the instructions for the new dishwasher. It has high pressure jets for cleaning the rear cavity
Now I would let you come and use it but I dont think our insurance would cover us.
Maybe something you could invest in ??

Morning all fellow wheezers.
A damp and grey start to the day here in Barnetshire.
No riding today, but as usual the dog will be walked for a couple of hours. I might have to get the waterproof coat out.
So a domestics day and then I will give the womens virtual bike racing on the BBC a watch.

I can hear thunder in the distance. Looks like today is going to be a day, so plenty of for me.

Good morning fellow retirees,

Late on parade today, didn't waken until nearly 8 o'clock 😯. This might be down to the beer I drank following yesterday evenings bike journey to the park with Mrs Tenkay 🤔.
It's humid and oppressive here at the moment, feel like a storm is on the way.
Nothing planned for today apart from my stint on the turbo.
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚶🏃🚲🌞

I was only saying the same thing the other day.
It's beginning to feel that I'm being cheated out of my retirement because everybody else is getting paid for doing nothing.

Our 10 0'clock rain has arrived an hour early. I dropped out of golf as our son stayed over......I am soooo pleased.

Wish you hadn't said this, it will be difficult to shift from my mind!

Bloody barking dogs in this street just now! I'm surrounded by them I am a dog lover but the sound of dogs barking constantly at nothing does my head in.

Good morning. It's grey and cool which I'll settle for. 97% chance of rain at 10.00 declining to 60% for the rest of the day.

Woke at 3.00 feeling very hot but managed to sleep from 5.00-7.30 so not too bad.

The calf feels much better but I will continue to rest it. No cycling.

I've gained 1kg in the last week. I've been bored, biscuit barrel by day and couple of whiskies in the evening. Not good. Should I:

• Empty biscuit barrel in to dustbin and try not to climb in later?
• Strengthen my resolve with the expectation this will crack around 3.00pm with a cuppa?

I must find something useful to do with the day.

Workers, school kids, barking dogs.......this isn't heading towards a good day for you Mo. Chin up.

Careful, you're starting to sound like a certain other thread obsessing on weight!
