The Retirement Thread

[12boy]

Took a picture yesterday of an osprey nest pole across the N Platte from where I had a little snack yesterday. They should be back by May.

I just spent 2 minutes looking for the osprey!

Then I noticed "They should be back by May"...

They are probably in lockdown till May

My comments are quite mild in comparison to many locally. There is no objection to people coming here to work and perform a useful function. Those who come to retire with time on their hands to meddle in affairs they know little or nothing about are not so welcome as they always know better than anyone else and have no knowledge or even interest in the history.

So that’s me then, a waste of space retired settler. Nice to know where I stand. When I move it will be for the wildlife and the landscape. I will expect nothing but hostility from the people.

Why should it be though?

good morning folks, strange night, my Good Lady downstairs and me upstairs, I didn't sleep much, apart from when one of us has been in hospital we've slept together for most of the last 40 years, strange times.

I have risen!

Rain is hammering off the roof the coffee is brewing and it’s Wednesday, club night pre lockdown. We use the “News” tab in Garmin connect to see where and when we’ve been running, ( or walking if we’ve set to record it as an activity) there’s also a handy “ Challenge “ feature and our group compete on who’s got the most steps on a rolling weekly basis.
Not the same as meeting up in the real world, but it’s keeping us in contact until we can run together again.
Have a peaceful day folks

Morning. I had a pj day yesterday and never even bothered looking in. @Flick of the Elbow you could do worse than retire to the village of Comrie near here. Good community spirit and used to get the nickname of the retirement capital of Scotland. Lol.


The wrist is much the same but I think the swelling has gone down a bit and the bruising starting to come out now. I bought a brace to wear and will try and keep it on as much as possible for support.

Don't look good to me Mo. Along with everyone I wish nothing but the best BUT I would at the very least show it to the pharmacist (they are very well trained/qualified).

Morning all.
@oldwheels I made a basic error yesterday. I addressed a post re'the Hebrides to Drago but it should have been to you. Jane MacDonald Cruising. Started at Oban, all around Mull stopping off at hot spots eg Fingals Cave.
It was very interesting.
Think I saw you standing at the ferry. Blunderbuss loaded, ready to repel all visitors

Good morning everyone. It's still dark but looks to be calm and dry. A good thing.

@dave r pleased to read Mrs D is home and you're both receiving support which should help. Some changes in life by the sound of it but I'm sure you will adapt.

Apart from my ride there is nothing planned for today or in fact the days ahead. Geez! Everyone we know is struggling with this.

I have a slight groin niggle/strain so have to limit morning exercises to upper body for a few days.

 

[Dave7]

I got all my 'running around' done yesterday. Today is filing/shredding day, followed by feet up and tv on.
@dave r (too many Daves on here ) hope all goes well for you and your good lady. Sadly, as we get older unwanted changes happen but as Paul says we all hope you adapt well to them.

Still not feeling brilliant. Neck still not right, and seems to hurt more than yesterday. A day off the weights, and yet another day with no cycling. This is the first time I've gone 3 days withour riding since August 2019, but no point putting myself in pain of risking further injury, or even an accident because I can't move my neck properly

On the plus side, its N.G.D. - new gun day!
