The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good morning. Plenty of sunshine streaming through the front room windows as I sit here with my coffee.........the dust it shows up confirms yes it's Tuesday, housework day!! Yeah!

Busy, busy day planned. Shortly I'll prepare fish pie for tea, then it's ironing, housework and allotment.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
I am hoping to cut the grass later, but the clouds might have other ideas.
A long dog walk later on so probably no bike riding today.
Stay strong everyone

From my Facebook page this morning, in my memories from 7 years ago, I posted "The first time I've doubled the ton, 105 miles in the car and 108 miles on the bike, knackered now, and with aching legs, but I've had a good day".

That day 7 years ago I rode the Cycle Chat 100 mile fixed wheel ride starting and finishing in Oakham and organized by Totally Fixed of this parish.

An excellent day out, In the picture I'm the one in the yellow waterproof.

I've looked at the weather forecast here for today and put my ride back to tomorrow, like you I need to cut the grass soon, the front is looking like its got more daisies than grass

Back home.
Literally walked MrsD through the doors and "handed her over" where a porter took her from there.
One of the hardest things I can recall ever doing.
"They" did say she would have to come home today.....with the drain in. Someone over rode that and she will be staying in as long as necessary which may be just 24 hours.

Delivery drivers got a bit lost. Should be here in about 5 mins.
The joys of livonf in the middle of nowhere

A quick hello.
Been up since 0430 as MrsD has to be at the ward for 0700.
Should be no cockups this time as her Covid swab has already come back clear.
'They' say she should be home tomorrow.......hard to believe for what used to be a major operation.
I will report back later.

Best wishes...

 

[welsh dragon]

Hoorah. They found me.

Hoorah. They found me.

So... now you are searching the house for things to wash?

I got plenty of things to wash unfortunately.

Mr WD has decided to read the Instructions. How unusual is that

Light rain forecast and that is what is happening but may clear by midday. Really must get out for a trike run as being indoors is soul destroying. There are lots of things I should be doing but cannot be bothered.
Onwards and downwards today I think.

BIL had a heart attack on Friday last week. He is 15 years younger than me but very active and plays a lot of badminton as well as cycling. Allowed out yesterday but still not too good. His wife was a charge nurse in ICU for heart transplant patients which probably influenced the decision to let him out.

They are certainly very keen to get you out of hospital these days right enough which is good in some respects. Where I live tho' they tend to keep me in for a bit longer than usual as it is probably cheaper than getting me out again by helicopter if anything goes amiss.

He should have rung me - I know where you live.

The usual advice is to read the instructions only if all else fails.
