The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Two shopping centres in Leeds today, "You can't come in here without a mask on!"
I put my mask on, and I'm told "You can't wear that in here!" Me. "Well you said I had to have one on." left them lost for an answer. Do they tell me to take the mask off, or leave it on.

In the first, I was already in, just trying to follow their one way system to get out.

Please tell me its not a WW2 Mickey Mouse mask.

I have risen!

Supposed to be a warm one today.

Good morning fellow retirees,

A pleasant couple of hours yesterday evening playing with our granddaughter while Mrs Tenkay and daughter went for a run.
A few rounds of hide and seek in the garden followed by holding her hand while she proudly walked along the top of a low brick wall 😁
Mrs Tenkay has organised a home delivery from Morrisons, our first from them. Must say I'm impressed by their range of Veggie /vegan foods, and even more impressed with their mixed beer cases, there's a great variety including beers from Northern Monk etc.

Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️🚶‍♀️🏊🌞

Good morning people. Down the club this afternoon, first Thursday afternoon bingo since lockdown. Normally I enjoy the Thursday afternoons down the club but this time I'd rather be out on my bike.

I'm sure it was supposed to be nice today.
Rain now forecast at least all morning.
We are going to town later. MrsD is having her hair cut and I am having an eye test.
I know I need stronger glasses for reading (unless labels are being printed with smaller text now).
I am trying an independant optician as MrsD had a bad experience with Specsavers. This one says the problem with Specsavers is that they source lenses from whoever is cheapest whereas he only uses Zeiss or one other. More expensive but I will give him a try.
We "might" have a look in the new market. Not sure as we are really careful about mixing with public more than essential. I will have a think about that.

Which new market is that? We are extremely short of a market of any use in Lincoln and travel far afield for a decent one.

The paint is going on the walls today.

Its Warrington.
We used to have an excellent market where you could get almost anything. The retail parks killed it off though.
Its just moved to a brand new building.
TBH I dont expect too much.

MrsDs excited. She's got a hairdressing appointment this morning.

Good morning. It's raining, it wasn't meant to, the BBC have looked out of the window and updated their forecast. Supposed to be sunny from lunchtime.

I shall confess to being less than chipper this morning. Woke at 3ish and went back to sleep at 5.15 and woke at 7.40. May try again after this coffee. Groggy from bad night, stiff after falling off and it's raining. Grrrrrr......but hey ho need to get busy. Today's tasks are:

• Possible supermarket run - unsure about this
• Clean bike - I have a 💯 planned for tomorrow. I always clean my bike before big rides
• Ironing
• Allotment - if weather dries up
• Clean out cupboard where I keep my decorating stuff and tools
• Blow out a match through a tissue

Wish me luck on the sleep bit........

Morning all fellow members.
Going walking around Tring Reservoirs and part of the Grand Union Canal today. Maybe a spot of lunch at the Grand junction arms which I am reliably informed is open for business and has a large garden area.

Where has the sun gone?
