The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

05.50 and I was back from my walk.
TBH, it was a bit of a struggle today as my legs didn't want to do what my brain was telling them to do and when I tried to jog across the road they nearly gave way (a bit like they did some months ago).
A few comments.......
Walking through the park, very dark, 4 youths walking through. They seemed polite and said hello but 'dodgy' or what ??
Nothing to see in the way of wild life, just Blackbirds.
A young woman on her own!!! I checked that it wasn't Mo that had got lost. Said she was waiting for a lift to work.
Anyway
Having my coffee now while listening to Tony with SoTS

Good morning people.

I have risen!

Booked some provisional dates with my tattooist in May, get a couple more inkings done.

Hello world! 'Tis wet and windy and the forecast suggests doing anything outside today will involve getting very wet Indeed. Good dawn chorus this morning.

Must get a walk as I've hardly been outside since Wednesday.

No real plans though there are odds and sods I need to look at. Allotment planning is now becoming very important.

First priority is the morning exercise and stretching which I've ignored for two days. Then it will be ironing while watching some TV which requires minimal concentration.

Local Covid-19 cases are reported at 155. It was last below 200 in August. Hopefully a small sign of better times 🤞 Virtually everyone I know aged 60+ has had or has a date for the vaccine. It's the hot topic in my little circle. The government have to get lockdown right, too early will be a total disaster.

Coooeee. Damp and dull here. He had a lot of rain and wind last night. Calm at the moment but lots more to come here.

Stay safe folks and drink lots of tea

Good morning all,

Another day in paradise begins.

Just listened to Tony B on R2 now drinking the second mug of tea

The usual dog walking before the fairweather walkers get out and about.

And that's about it so far. There is football on the radio later, and pizzas for tea tonight.

But the best thing about lifting lockdown is that you don't have to go out. Don't have to mix with crowds. Don't have to stand in queues. We can still choose not to mingle.

Hi it's me again

 

[oldwheels]

Still dryish but in about an hour forecast is for heavy rain and gales. We seem to be getting a different weather pattern from usual in that there are gales every few days and not just one big gale and then a long gap.
Sunday and Monday look possible for getting out dry.
The holiday home wars are erupting again with local workers being outbid by outsiders with more spare cash.
Also the Housing Association have a strange policy of allocating houses to people from the mainland with no connections and no job and bypassing those who seem eligible and have been here all their lives.
I remember the same policy years ago so nothing new but it infuriates locals and probably makes life difficult for the incomers.

I just messaged my son. He had his Covid jab yesterday. He said he has a sore arm and a headache but apart from that he is fine.

It's too windy to put the ladder up.Not taking any chances,the gutter can wait.

Didn't he mute the microphone and play a record whilst he did that. Standards are slipping, he's sipping live.

You'll wake up soon.

Washing machine has been on, and as it nice sunny weather with a breeze, the washing is out on the line
MrsP does like getting the tumble dryer on which is obviously quite costly.
