The Retirement Thread

[screenman]

Morning. I was hoping for an early walk before watching the men’s marathon but I slept in. Must have been my new pillow. I’ve lost count of how many I’ve tried and how much money I’ve wasted. This is a Simba Hybrid one.

Like you I have spent a lot of money on pillows only to find th one's that suit me best are £7.50 for two from Tesco, changed for new every three or four month's.

Good morning all, bright but very breezy again, up to 40mph forecast again.

Yesterday afternoon and evening again spent mostly glued to track cycling and the athletics, more of the same again today.

Not much sign of this heatwave reaching us, highs for the next few days forecast to be 18 today, 19 tomorrow and 20 with thunderstorms on Monday.

If I remember to be looking out of the window at 6.15 this evening we’re due a tattoo flypast of the Red Arrows. The council is trying to ban them so this might be the last !

Our son and his girlfriend/partner are coming over later, I'll be getting the BBQ fired up. Just got to go to the shops for some goodies early on.
The weather doesn't look that good today though, a bit cloudy and not that warm.

Coooooeeeee. 15 deg here and a bit misty.

We are expecting showers at some point today.

Stay safe peeps

So perfect for a motorcycle trip, meeting some pals from Poshshire later in Chipping Campden

Airshow most days here, I live between Coningsby and Waddington, with Cranwell not being far away, and of course just sown the road Wickenby where a lot of stunt flying is done.

Annnndddd the showers are here. So a pottering day for me.

Well, I really enjoyed the marathon. The hills made it more interesting. I think the British guy maybe got carried away slightly trying to go with the leader then blew up a bit. He finished strongly in fourth though so different tactics might have got a medal.

Got out for a walk when it finished. There’s quite a strong wind here but it’s sunny and warm. The car park at the park is already filling up with cars so I will probably avoid going back out later.

That would be heresy in Scotland.
Mixing anything with IrnBru.

Good point

best to just chuck the IrnBru in the bin and drink the other stuff neat

 

[Mo1959]

Is it also heresy for me as a Scot to say I don’t like Iron Bru? I don’t actually like many fizzy drinks and very rarely drink them.

We only cracked pillow comfort when we got some for people who sleep mainly on their sides (both of us). We didn't even realise that they are different to those made for people who sleep mainly on their back.

Your Simbas look good.

Ours were also crazy expensive but the improvement in sleep quality and the lack of neck pain in the morning made them worth it.

You go down the road proposed by @ebikeerwidnes!

I like feather pillows. Probably a throw back to when I was a kid and that's all there was.
