The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Dropped the car off for its MOT and walked back from the village.
It's oppressively humid out there!

Off out on the single speed today to try and force myself to go slow and see if that helps with the headache problems i posted on the health page yesterday.

Maybe the high humidity? I know it is prone to causing me more headaches than normal.

Enjoy your spin.

Just finishing my cup of Clooney's then itll be a) service the car, b) smack out an hour's bass practice, and c) go for a ride on my ebike.

No Strava cheating now on these segments!

Bonjour tout le monde. Just a bit of useless info I heard this morning. Apparently, this hot weather is bad for menopausal women. If it applies to you, make sure you drink loads of water.

Don't think it applies to me.
Hang on while I check.
No......I am ok thanks.

Been out, watered all the pot and bedding plants.
Having a cool drink then it a shave followed by a cool shower. Then a walk to the Spar for the aunties pension and a few bits.

Too hot to go for a ride or take Molly for a walk. Will do it all later when it cools off a bit. Missing a walk won't hurt Molly but the heat could kill her.

Car back from the garage, all windows now working.

The a/c on my car needs recharging and it will cost £120 , so will do without it and just blow cool air or leave windows open. This heat wave won't last much longer anyway and I don't use my car that much when off school.

Just back from the dental surgery. Had the two stitches removed after I had to have the remains of a tooth and nerve extraction last week.

The crown that was on top of the tooth became loose and eventually came out.

I’m convinced the crown was loosened by excessive clenching of teeth in pain after the bilateral knee replacements. ☹️

Worth every penny imo (if you can afford it).
You can't take it with you so may as well have the comfort now.

Bass practice done, but I emerged from the studio to find it hammering down with rain and thundering, so no pedelec ride today. 1 out of 3 ain't bad I guess.
