The Retirement Thread

I take a multi B vitamin supplement every day.

Maybe it was just my imagination, but I’m convinced b vitamins seem to make me hungry! I’ve got a good appetite as it is so don’t need to be encouraged to eat more.

I take a multi B vitamin supplement every day.

Mine probably comes from the waste products. From the brewery, silly, not you!

Well vit D has definitely affected my love life. Started taking it 3 months ago and my love making is now down to only 5 times a week

Yes, apparently it causes hallucinations too

Wow, I made it to my alarm! I do feel less groggy than usual. I will try to get to sleep an hour earlier tonight since I will be getting up earlier tomorrow for support pal visit.



And me. I am glad that you mentioned K2 - that is important with D.

And me.

Also B complex and Glucosamine Sulphate. The evidence supporting some of these is not strong but I am doing well fighting off the arthritis that crippled my dad 10 years younger than me so I am not going to stop!

Ha ha.

I recommend all of you to read 'Vitamin K2 and The Calcium Paradox' (£1.24 on Kindle*)

I don't have a kindle.

Just back. from a 5.5 mile walk. We did 25 miles last week, so, well on target to do same this week.

Weather cloudy, but, mild(?) at 6c.

Most of the ice and frost has gone, just lingering in shaded areas.

With a bit of luck, we will be back to bicycle riding weather shortly

Oh dear.
Are you meaning it could actually be 10 times a week

 

[Dave7]

WooHoo......MrsD just managed a walk of maybe 700 mtrs. She had to take it slow but made it......a result!!

Chicken for us today with stuffing, mashed potatoes and beans maybe.

I see Blair has been talking to conservative MP's in a bid to make a comeback and repair his reputation. I think that ship sailed a long time ago. Thank god

No wonder poor MrsD is exhausted

Ow. Just had an email from my car insurers. £243.41. I don't think so. I looked at quotes last week and can get it for as low as £117. Guess which one I will choose.

It’s the modern world , in the old days you go a discount for being loyal to a company ,now you get the discount for being a new customer.
Anyway think you self lucky your original quote was £243. Lol. Eighteen months ago I had to insure a car for the first time in 25 years . In the 25 years of company car diving I had no big accidents but I had to make a small clam in my last year because small dent on a door so I left with no insurance allowances. I drive a bog standard 308 diesel.
Best insurance quote , 18 months ago = £725.
Best insurance quote , last year = £573 🙁

I think he want to get back in to politics as he now thinks he knows where the weapons of mass destruction are
Ps I've got prawn curry and rice

To be fair there are still a few thousand soldiers he hasn't murdered yet.

Give him time to get round to them.

Soup is now on
Potato, leek, onion, carrot, chicken stock.
Shredded chicken will be added at the end.
I will give an honest report later.

Been out for a wintry ride into Midlothian, plenty of snow in the fields and patches of packed snow and thawing ice on the back roads. Got back to find that MrsF had just finished making carrot and coriander soup, perfect timing !
Temp has now reached 5 degrees.
