The Retirement Thread

Looks like the first bank has reduced interest rates to below zero. The first of many I should think

I'm up again, it's Saturday today well that's what it said on my pill box

That bad an area you have your own pillbox!
Do you cover the slits on it at night, lock the door?

Apparently, retired medics have to supply 21 documents to qualify to volunteer to give vaccinations.
One of them being a 'Fire Safety, level 1'.
I kid you not.

I'd to do a similar course as part of an Outdoor Ed. course(camping, hiking, canoeing, rock climbing). Can't recall ever having to put it to use though

They are clearly already nuts, and once they immerse themselves in that freezing water they will also be numb with cold, so yes - numb nuts!

One of them is female!

How many will continue using cards as their means of payment if they're charged each and every time they use it?

Morning all.

Morning. Forced myself to lie a bit longer even although Molly has been poking me in the face since 5 for her breakfast. Wasn't sleeping anyway but it was nice and warm.

Another minus 4 this morning so just a walk again soon. Might go up one of the local trails that was very muddy when we had all the rain but hoping the frost might have firmed it up a bit.

Good morning people.

Morning. I stayed in bed as it was nice and warm. 2 deg and feels like minus 2 apparently. No snow YET but it could snow later.

Stay safe folks.

Groundhog Day.....again.
Main highlight of the day is we're having roast Goose for dinner this evening.

I have risen!

Been up for a while. Dog walked, house tidied, George Clooney's hot liquid consumed. Got a bit of a thigh hamstring niggle, which was roaring last nigh but which has calmed down a bit today. I don't recall any specific moment in time when I may have injured it, so it seems more like its simply over use. So, no leg work for a week on the weights, and no bike ride today. I'll reassess Tuesday, and see if its improved enough for a moderate ebike ride.

6.8 mile hilly trail walk done. It was hard going. As a cyclist, it pains me to say that I think mountain bikes are ruining the trail using it in the winter months. All the muddy sections are deep channels and high ridges where their wheels have been and they are currently frozen so it's incredibly hard even to walk without going over on your ankle. Running would be impossible I think.

Very cold so definitely porridge this morning and a nice hot cuppa.

I have drunk coffee, perused the Internet and done sod all else.
