The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Well, in that case shouldn't it be "my buddy and I", since we are limited to meeting ONE person outdoors for exercise!

Might be a different one each day.

Might be a different one each day.

Probably within the guidelines, but maybe more risky?

That's true - I hadn't thought of that. Mind you, that doesn't really make any more sense in terms of virus avoidance as far as I can see...

That was one of my arguments, I'll be on my own. I agree with the restrictions but this one seems a bit too much.

I 've planned a route that is no more than 10 from home in any direction, I can't see that being an issue!

Sounds spot on to me.

Well yes we would only be in pairs. Not one of us has thought of Mo's point. Interesting thought. Knowing how we all behave I doubt it's a problem but still a very good point.

Bedtime.

Yep. Suppose better attempt some sleep too.

Earth yourself before you go to bed. It might work!

Sleep o sleep where for art thou sleep, climbed into bed at eleven and haven't been to sleep yet, I've been down here drinking tea and reading on my tablet for an hour now, I'll have to have another go in a bit but I'm wide awake.

 

[classic33]

To Sleep

O soft embalmer of the still midnight,
Shutting, with careful fingers and benign,
Our gloom-pleas'd eyes, embower'd from the light,
Enshaded in forgetfulness divine:
O soothest Sleep! if so it please thee, close
In midst of this thine hymn my willing eyes,
Or wait the "Amen," ere thy poppy throws
Around my bed its lulling charities.
Then save me, or the passed day will shine
Upon my pillow, breeding many woes,—
Save me from curious Conscience, that still lords
Its strength for darkness, burrowing like a mole;
Turn the key deftly in the oiled wards,
And seal the hushed Casket of my Soul.​

I just watched a TV documentary about the immune system. Apparently one thing that can suppress immunity is getting less than 7 hours sleep a night and I tend to only get 5-6 hours! So despite it still being quite 'early', I have turned the TV off and am going to go to bed now (03:15). I'll try to get to sleep by 04:00. I will have my alarm set for 11:00 and see if I can actually sleep until then. (I will probably wake up way before that, but we'll see.)

I have to admit it does worry me a bit too. I can't see how my body or brain can be rested and recovered with only around three or four hours on a good night! What can you do if you just don't feel tired plus your stupid brain doesn't seem to switch off either.

Anyway, the roads are damp as there was some rain overnight but it's not as cold. Probably have a walk soon.
