Just to be clear, I’m not yet so over the hill I’m about to go into a retirement home.
And inside…
95% have been vaccinated. Oh, wow! Well, I’m convinced…
Do they have garage space for four bikes? Hmmm.
I think not. I will follow in the footsteps of my grandmother who remained independent until her dying day and my father who is doing likewise.
Me too LR. I can’t think of anything worse than going into a care home.
“95% have been vaccinated”
Have you seen the rather embarrassing story about the US cruise ship which required ALL passengers to be vaccinated before embarkation. Subsequently 2 of them have tested positive!
As for your junk mail – I think I can do better than that. After several run ins with that shower of shite known as E.ON (Repeated Smart Meter hassling, being signed up for “E.ON Next” despite not asking, or even being told about it, etc, etc) they’ve now sent me THREE separate copies of a large print document labelled “Articles For The Blind”. It’s hard to know if they are deliberately taking the piss, or they’re really that incompetent…
They are really that incompetent
B-but, look at the totty.
I’ve just clocked the grand piano.
I’m now at the age where I get all kinds of junk mail aimed at the oldies.
Gym? Hobby room? Greenhouse? Sod that: I retired to get away from work and as for all that 4king smiling . . . .
I love getting junk mail, especially if it comes with a pre-paid envelope. After removing any information about my name and address, I simply swap the various letters around and post them as it seems a shame to throw away envelopes on which the postage has already been paid. If no pre-paid envelopes, the local Pound shop sells a shed load for a quid and, still swapping the letters or leaflets around, send them back adding “Freepost” to the address. It certainly kept me occupied when we were in lockdown and had atrocious weather. I often, well, sometimes, wonder what the likes of equity release companies think of the health benefits of drinking your own urine or how they can save money on solar panels. Then I have a glass of good Shiraz, sit back, and wait for the next post delivery.
I’m going to continue to push myself physically, hopefully that way I’ll drop dead suddenly one day and save my kids (and I for that matter), anything long and drawn out.
Figure I should be capable for longer that way too.
Last night, my kids and I were sitting in the living room and I said to them,
“I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.”
They got up, unplugged the computer and threw out my wine.
The little bastards.
What activities do you do Mr. Wtf? I found triathlons to be really good but now that I have a slightly dodgy knee I’m not sure that I’ll be able to do them anymore. Once the gym gets back to normal I’m hopefully going to get back to the swimming at least. At the moment I’m trying to tame the jungle that is my garden.
Weights/climbing so mainly strength based. some cardio but only short distance if I can’t do non weight bearing. I’ll run a couple of miles but no more, though I’ll walk all day if the scenery is good(did live next to the Peaks so was.good for that, Merseyside now, so not so much of that)
