The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

The more I read things on this thread, the more I think many of you should be in a geriatric ward with all your ailments.
I must be lucky then as all my senses are working well.

Just imagine, a care home where all the residents come from the CC retirement thread. Probably like The Last Of The Summer Wine on steroids.

I've tried catching up ten pages and given up. We're actually in Ryburn which is above Sowerby. When I say above I mean above. The rise is about 400 feet in 0.5 mile. Walking up this afternoon I looked at the climb thinking could I ride this? 50/50 I reckon. Great weather. A beautiful evening tonight.

Nine miles yesterday taking in a great loop near Blackstone Edge. Saw the Aiggin and Rain Stone - lovely poem about rain. Followed a bridleway sign which said "Summit 2.5 miles" turns out to be the top of a lock flight and not a hill! Today we strolled to Hebden Bridge, 6 miles, idled around in a touristy fashion and caught the train back.

Excellent pub in Hebden

Note what the sign says carefully. You want the gin, that's extra!

No Hardcastle Craggs and Mad Axeman then? And there were me, by B.O.N. to hand last night wondering if I should give one number a call.

Did you try going up Churn Milk Joan?

I was going to go out for a ride this evening but... I think I might actually be having a reaction to jab #2! I was feeling slightly rough, but was thinking it was probably just due to lack of sleep. Then I realised that I feel cold, especially in my hands and feet. I looked it up and that is one of the listed side effects.

I think I'll be sensible and stay in. There is a chilly wind blowing even though the sun is shining.

I felt very cold late afternoon the day after my first jab to the extent I was actually shivering.Went to bed that night wearing cycling tights and a thin fleece Following day I was fine.

Fine as long as you don’t drag me out on your daily nine mile walks before sparrow fart.

Thats bonkers! I went out the front, to check my plants and its a fine dry evening, came back indoors and went straight out the back to put some rubbish out and its raining.

A trip to the park this evening to meet up with friends. A short run then a bit of a picnic on the grass. Lovely and relaxing, there was a Cricket practice going on, lovely to watch.

They bowl uphill!

Hmm, that cold and shivery post-jab feeling has almost gone now. I can just about feel where the jab was done in the arm, whereas I couldn't at all for the first one. If that was all the side effects that I am going to get, then I am very chuffed! (Watch out for me coming down with a serious overnight case of Covid-jab man-flu now... )

Beautiful sunrise this morning.

Good morning all fellow early risers.
I've been awake since 3am for some reason, I gave in at 3.30 and started listening to the radio.🎧
Today is jab 2 day for both myself and MrsP.
It is not raining yet, and possibly won't according to the forecast.

Stay safe everyone.

Like a fart on a cold day, I have risen!

Morning all.
After watching LFC win 3 nil I went to bed thinking "great, I will sleep till 0800".......no chance. Woke at 0430, tried to doze again but gave up at 0500.
Coffee has been consumed and I am debating a short stroll before breakfast.
