The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good morning all. A sunny start to the day here.
We've got quite a lot to do today, so we will have another busy day.

Morning all.
A dreadful night. Really bad stomach ache and sat up waiting to upchuck.
Eventually at 0330 I poured a brandy and port and sipped that till I fell asleep about 0430.
I feel numb now.
Haircut booked for 10.00

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

 

[welsh dragon]

Cooooeeee. 13 deg here and supposed to be a nice day.

I was up earlier but I got distracted and wandered off I'm another direction. I've only just remembered you lot

Stay safe peeps

Oh and I have a load of washing in the machine that's coming to the end of the cycle so that will be put outside in a few minutes.

Final warning, we told you about this before, we should be first in your thoughts.

Morning all

Yay! Fish Friday!
Got all my chores done yesterday, so I'm free today.
Walking down to the harbour later.

How are we all? Bright and breezy is the order of the day in Lancashire. 8½ hours sleep!! Woke twice for a pee but not at all through stiffness or aches. Result!

I may venture on to my allotment, emphasis on "may". It is in a terrible state after five weeks of Paul's inactivity.

The last two evenings my knee has not been swollen and uncomfortable. This is progress. In more progress I feel like stretching. For the past year I've been with a PT. I have a 15 minute daily stretching routine and five days a week weights, core, strength and balance routines. The heavy stuff has been impossible the last few weeks but Monday and Wednesday I felt able to stretch. Today is the same. Then it's probably going to be:

• Ironing
• Sweep and mop
• Admin - loads of PI stuff required
• Bike and clothing claim
• Someone should go out to buy veggies

You'll be too busy with the other stuff, you'll have to send someone else.

I might wander up to the Co-op soon, then I will not be doing a pile of ironing.

Could you do the ironing first, or is that a reason for going to lidl.

Cheers. I'll be home all day. If I don't answer the porch door is open.

Bloody hell. For a minute there @Mo1959 I thought you said I WILL be ironing. Good lord I nearly fell off my chair.

One load of washing outside drying and another one is in the washing machine.

The sun is trying to break through as well.
