The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

I do wonder sometimes. It's only a bike ride, it's not complicated, get a grip!!

Don't know about you, but the older I get the less confident and more anxious I get about stuff I am such a worrier and overthink all the time. In fact, I've just finished downloading a self help hypnosis thing and gave it a try. I did feel strangely relaxed and calm and actually think it might have some effect so I've also downloaded the sleep one to try at bedtime.

Well, approx 0830 I went very tired so went back to bed. Enjoyed 90 mins solid kip.
Enjoying nana and custard now.
Shortly out for that walk and will hopefully manage the 2 miles.
Onwards and upwards

I must admit that I am a bit anxious about getting back on my bike after the winter. I know once I am out there I will enjoy it, it's just doing it for the first time after my layoff that makes me hesitant.

Just wondering whether to go out before lunch - really should take a camera and start taking pickies again - I used to post one everyday on a website
should start doing it again
if I delay any longer it'll be after lunch I suppose - but looking at the forecast the light may be better anyway

It's very quiet with an eerie feeling here today, even the squirrels never turned up and there are no birds in the garden either and very little traffic too...........something is going to happen

I used to love photography too and have got very lazy and just take the odd snap with the phone now. I have a decent DSLR (Nikon D500) and a few lenses which are a bit heavy to lug around, but usually the end results are worth it. Must make more effort.

Now we know why the car need fixing.

Change of weather on the way.

Today is gorgeous here. Blue skies and sunshine. I have my washing drying nicely on the line and I can feel a lot of warmth coming through the windows. Lovely.
Seeing the sun makes everything feel so much better

We'll be switching the sun off at midday!

A belated good morning and a very happy birthday to Welshie 🎂
I’m still in my jim jams as granddaughter slept over last night and got a bit upset in the early hours. All sorted out ok, breakfast for Willow was buttered toast with Honey, Marmite and raspberry Jam. 2 slices each cut in half and three of the halves having an individual topping, the fourth had all three toppings 😮
Currently watching Paw Patrol 😄

At least you can get out after the winter. Winter is about the only time I can get out safely on our roads.
My normal mainland routes are closed to me until travel restrictions and staying overnight with family are lifted.

I have finished filling in the census. What a palarver.
