The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

I can promise you in my case it is absolutely not a lifestyle choice!!!!!!!

Went to bed at midnight, very late for me, and wide awake by 4.30 this morning

Yes, you do sound like you don't like it, but some of those crazy pervs seem to love it!

I think it has stopped

I am one who enjoys getting up early. OK not Mo type early but maybe 0630. BUT I also go to bed early.......rarely later than 22:30.

Perhaps we could let @Drago know this?

Suppose it rains before we can get him back in though!

For now.

With my ride today being posponed we hopped into the car and spent the afternoon at a nearby garden centre, one we don't visit very often, my car now wants cleaning.

Likewise, our alarm goes off at 5am every morning and normally it is lights out at 10.30pm. I do not get people like my brother who often says don't you find the days go by fast, he gets up 5 hours after us and bed about 1/2 hour later, what a waste of life time. Each to their own of course though.

A mate of mine, still working, never goes to bed before midnight.... often 0100.
On our Majorca cycling holiday he was surprised that I refused to share a room. We would enjoy a few beers then 22.30 I was in bed while he streamed films on his laptop.
In the morning he would be in bed while, at 0700 I was out walking.

Same as me. Usually in bed for 2030hrs but read or surf until 2200hrs ish, but then up at 0600hrs.

My hours are currently dictated by MrsF’s working hours, she aims to be logged on and up and running by 7
I’m looking forward to her retirement, hopefully I’ll be waking at a more leisurely hour.

Could she not bring you breakfast in bed!

Blimey - I think I stopped going to bed before 22:30 when I was 12 or 13 and by 16 or 17 it was usually around midnight. On nights out after the age of 18 it would be later, say 02:00 - 04:00, which is where it is now since I no longer have to get up early to go to work.

It felt really odd when I spent 9 days in hospital in 2012 to have the lights turned out at about 22:00. I did manage to get to sleep after an hour or two, but there was so much going on in the wards and corridors that I would be woken up a couple of times an hour.

Go for an early morning, 04:00, walk when you're up to it. It's usually quiet enough.
