The Retirement Thread

Playing dead, waiting until it's safe to move?

Lola is a lovely dog she’s just 14 months old. The only problem is that after a good daily walk (I’m finding some fantastic routes)I can’t be bothered with a cycle ride....

Do the ride first?

Obviously, it could not be a really tiring one or you would have the same problem the other way round!

I don't understand the not being able to snooze once awake thing. My alarm went off at 10:30 and I have had 2 x 20 minute snoozes already and it is only 11:25!

If you snooze you're no longer awake.

But you only went to bed at 0400

It has been lashing down here for 2 hours.
We now have thunder and lightning.

Pedant!

The truth is that I was still so tired first time that I was only awake long enough to click the snooze button. Second time, I wouldn't have stayed awake if I hadn't put the lights and tech on.

If I don't manage it before then, at least once I am on holiday in Devon I will be sleeping more normal hours so I am in sync with the family and have enough time for long rides and walks. I will try to stick to the new regime once I get back. That is still well over a month away though.

That's when I finished on here. It was nearly 05:00 when I finished playing computer games!

Not doing well with my crossword puzzle book though...

05:01: "Nuts - dish left in mine (6, 5)"

05:02: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

Does he know that!

He didn't hang around while I did the deed so perhaps not.

Heavy hailstorm and thunder here.

 

[Deleted member 1258]

we've just had the heaviest hail storm I've seen for a long time, it lasted about ten minutes and from where I'm sitting I could see the hail bouncing off the shed roof, I popped out to check on my young sweet peas afterwards, I was expecting casualties but all are still intact.

After the while I was out for a walk we now have bloody typical

Good Lunchtime to you all. Sunshine and showers here. It rained hard at 8.30 so we binned the ride plans which is just as well as I have a bucket load of stuff to do before going away tomorrow. We're heading off to Sowerby Bridge for a couple of days - just wanted to warn the Border Patrol. The plan is to sneak in near Littleborough and walk to The Rain Stone near Blackstone Edge. Following day we have a walk round Hardcastle Crags. No walk planned yet for Thursday.

Going away! First time since January 2019!!! YEAH!!
