The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good morning all.
A lovely day was had in littlehampton yesterday, although apart from the beaches, the town itself seems to be suffering like a lot of seaside places. The town centre had a lot of empty units, and it looked and seemed down at heel. Shame really.

Enjoy your bimble

Thanks. I did. A very leisurely 33 miles in zones 1 and 2. Only a few seconds when it crept over on a little climb.

I’m not convinced there was a tail wind home though.

Morning I'm up too, to be honest I haven't got a lot on

A very broken sleep last night, lost count of how often I woke up.
Rain due at 12 with thunder n lightning later.
TV sports day for me.
I will bake a wholemeal, seeded loaf shortly and enjoy it with cheese etc.

Number one son and DIL are stuck in Amsterdam. Yesterday evening, they were travelling back from Provence with a flight from Marseille to Schiphol and then on to Humberside. The Humberside flight was cancelled, and they have been offered a flight to London City tomorrow or another flight to Humberside on Tuesday.

Number three son Flew from Marseille to Paris yesterday evening with a connecting flight to Manchester. The first flight was delayed, so the connection was not made. They spent the night in a hotel in Paris and are now booked to fly from Paris to Amsterdam and then onto Manchester this afternoon.

Both couples had spent the week with their number two son, who lives in Provence and got married on Thursday.

Just got my results back from my CT Scan (that was quick) I have a serious low level anaemia and every thing is going back to normal.
From the start my blood tests showed a low level of iron, but the "two locum doctors" didn't take any notice and went to looking for more serious problems like bowel cancer, prostate cancer, lung damage, liver damage the list is endless.......
Yet is was plain to see from the first blood test, it was my niece who said “try iron tablets” which I did and now I'm improving all the time, but at a slow rate. When a doctor prescribe iron tablets it's on a high dose 300mg per tablet, I'm only taking the bare minimum, no doubt I'll get a text/phone call from the doctor nect week when she has seen the results.

Good morning all, is today officially autumn then ? It’s cool and overcast here with a bit of an easterly breeze.

Caught up yesterday with Friday’s Short Course races at the MTB Worlds, both well worth a watch, good British (and Crieff) interest . Will make time in today’s viewing to catch the two full distance races.

I just happened to leave Eurosport on after the Vuelta and that came on. Yes Charlie did pretty well coming in second.

Just enjoying a bacon roll and a coffee.

A fair few VW campers here. The guy on the adjacent pitch is from Holland and nipped out for an 80 mile bike ride yesterday afternoon.

Surprising just how much a shortage of such an obvious vitamin can affect you.
Must say, in hindsight it seems logical.
Stay well.

Yes, and No to answer your question.

Bread is now baking. I have wanted to add mixed seed previously but it has been so expensive. This pack is from Aldi and a reasonable price.
