The Retirement Thread

I have returned from shopping. I had a bacon, sausage and egg sandwich.

It's blooming cold here. MR WD even had his coat on.

A 5 mile walk done here too, felt quite summery in the sun. Perhaps summer is almost here

I have been and played with some dent this morning, and I am now waiting for the boiler engineer, hopefully he arrives early and it gives me time for a bike ride before swimming this evening.

Today is the day!!


starting volunteering as a "Digital Champion" at the local library
basically just sitting around and helping out anyone who comes in wanting any help on the computers

No idea what to expect

just wish they had chosen a different name

I have seen naff all saying we will be available in the libraries - so I suspect it will take a while for people to be aware we are available

anyway - I will be spending 2 hours in a building with computers and books - and (I hope) the ability to make tea)
can;t be too bad

Sounds cool!

There's a similar setup at our local library. Wednesday 12:00-14:00.
I'm not sure if it is one person who travels between libraries, as the different local libraries have different times listed.

"Just ask a member of the library team if you need help to access the wifi or when using our computers.

Tech Buddies are volunteers in our libraries who can help people use their computers, tablets or smart phones."

Hmm - sounds like something we could use around here
also I much prefer the term "Tech Buddy" rather than "DIgital Champion" - which sounds a bit daft IMO!!!

Cold here also. I want to sit on the patio but it's just not comfortable.

I did a cheese and tomato toasty in the air frier.......not as nice as under a grill but OK.

Excitement of the day. My new slippers have arrived.

Rather nice here for a change.

Just back from a lovely carnic. Front doors wide open.

Good morning all.
A day without rain is forecast.
A good long sleep till 0615.
No vivid dreams at all.....do we dream every night but don't recall them ??

You dream most nights, but don't recall them all when awake.
