The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good day. It's been raining and we are forecast for more. The temperature is a ridiculous 13⁰C and a gentle breeze. I think it's too warm to sleep.

Early breakfast of porridge along with a Netflix movie. Such is life these days.....

Oh I wish I was asleep.......

Glad I am not as I have to meet my mate 10 miles away at 7am. He is one of those people who is never late and will never forgive me or let me forget if I am.

Morning. I managed a long lie......for me anyway.

Roads still very wet but the rain is off now at least. I will just have a walk soon and perhaps a hybrid bimble later.

@screenman I wondered if you have ever used a car "wax cleaner" called Zymol and what you think of it? It claims to be made entirely of natural ingredients. I've found it very good for polishing out minor scratches on both car and bike. I'm especially happy with it for the bike as I'm always a little nervous of using chemical based products on my bikes.

I'm not really sure what a "wax cleaner" is as the bottle doesn't refer to polish.

Good thing he's not meeting me. I'm always late, famous for it.

Tut, tut!

I'm another who's a bit paranoid about being late for anything that's arranged whether it's an appointment or meeting someone at a specific time. I'm always at least ten minutes early.

I have risen!

And yet again it's raining

Good morning fellow retirees,

Off to Dorchester on the train today, Mrs Tenkay and I are meeting a friend for a bite to eat and probably a pint or two.
Quirky place called the Convivial Rabbit,
Weather's a bit better than forecast so we shouldn't get too wet on the journey.
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️🚶‍♀️🏊‍♂️☔🍻

I hate being too early for anything and as a result am always on the last minute.......not good really.

Hello all.
Dreadful night. This bloody long Covid will not leave us alone.
I will not bore you. MrsD went through what I went through 2 weeks ago. Asleep in bed and her body decides to throw up. Problem being she was too weak to even sit up........I won't be graphic but you can imagine the mess.
I managed to strip the bed and phone our daughter who is coming at 0900 to help as I am too weak to get MrsD into the shower.
Surely things must get better soon**
**being realistic, this virus has killed younger, fitter people than us so we really do count our blessings.
