The Retirement Thread

[dickyknees]

Been watching Adrian Dunbar's Coastal Ireland on catch up. Looks absolutely fabulous, been to a lot of the places he visited over the years as family holidays. Would love to do a bike tour along the west coast....dream on!

We drove the Causeway Coast route three years ago. Went from Ballycastle to Belfast.
Stunning coastal route, would love to cycle it.
We also visited the Gobbins, a must do when it opens again.

Not in Lancashire. In October I was in Yorkshire on a 90 miler round Buttertubs, Fleet Moss and Lamp Moss and we all remarked on how good the roads were. I don't think there was a shout for hole all day....... plenty for sheep!

Must resist...

You're early!

You're early!

He's joined us in insomnia and hasn't bothered going to bed yet...

Oh, it is 03:30 - time for me to head off for crossword puzzles, games and a few more pages of the book that I am reading. I used to read a book in 1-2 days but it has taken me since Christmas to read 115 pages of this one. I don't pick it up until I am almost too tired to read!

No doubt Mo will sneak in while I type but I appear to be 1st .
Just slurping my coffee while deciding what to do. I will report back later.

Good morning people.

Good morning all fellow virus dodgers.
It's a balmy 1c outside at the moment, and set to make 8c by this afternoon .

More of the usual things to do, and I am treating MrsP to some rib eye steak for tea tonight, what with it being Valentines day and all that nonsense.

Stay safe everyone.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Happy valentines day to all the chicks out there.

Morning has broken, and it’s four degrees, time to dig the shorts and tee shirt out😁
Let’s see what enchantments the day brings!

I have just done a "Mo" and been for a walk in the dark.
It was interesting as I saw errhh nothing. Not even a pair of eyes watching me. Not quite true, I saw one Blackbird.
At +3° that makes it 6° warmer than yesterday......made a massive difference.

Could I ask you all to read this please.
Virtually everything mentioned is what MrsD is going through.......terrible nerve pain in her feet makes it so difficult to walk.
Sometimes I have to drag her up just one step.
Wakes up at 08.30 but back in bed by 10.30.
NOT after sympathy.......just want people to know how bad this sh*t thing can be.

So sorry to hear that Mrs D is no better Dave. I do hope they find out what's wrong.

Morning folks. 3 deg and feels like -3 here. All the snow has more or less gone. It's still Icey on the drive but I am not going anywhere so I don't care.

Stay safe folks.
