SueEK: That's exactly how I felt in 2015. 35 years in the deffence industry. Enough. Too much politics for my liking. Life is too short. Retired. Did the whole house up from roof to ground, inside and out, every room, wall, ceiling, floor, electrics, plumbing, fittings, white goods, new kitchen, cooker, fridge, new central heating, lighting. A massive project. Worth every moment. Took a couple of years.
Which bit did I enjoy the most? Designing the new kitchen. I was amazed at just how many people said that it couldn't be done. Room too small. Not enough cupboards, etc etc. They were all wrong. Its the best room in the house.
Which bit did I enjoy the least? The roof, outside walls rendering and inside walls plastering. Wow what a mess. And to cap it all the vacant plot opposite sprang to life and 'they' decided to build a small estate there at the same time as my building work. It was absolute chaos. And to cap the cap, a next door neighbour decided to start their own building work at the same time too. A few tense months there. But like most things, it passed and the results are all good.
Enjoy every moment that you can.
Oh, and a 5.4 for me this morning.
Bought a manual nut grinder on Amazon yesterday. Gotta get that peanut butter just right. I didn't like all the said problems with the electric ones (grinders, not the nuts) and I bet they're very noisy too.
Calories up...weight still coming down. Hmmm interesting. I will up my calories some more but my carbohydrates are already 120g per day now. Maybe I have to bite the bullet on the cholesterol instead. I will look at the numbers again this morning.
