Retirement health. If there is one thing a blog writer needs it’s a reliably repetitive event, like to do with vineyards or music or minor travel or even the blog itself. Something that recurs and therefore appropriately forms the basis of a new blog. There is only one wee caveat to this requirement (isn’t there… Continue reading Retirement health, part 7

Global Warming and retirement
Global warming and retirement. It really made me laugh and that’s rare and, in the case of global warming not really to be laughed at, but bear with me. Last week was hot and that’s actually quite rare but the thing was we were completely debilitated by it. On Monday and Tuesday, other than an… Continue reading Global Warming and retirement
Retirement health. Part 4 (at least)
Retirement health. A BBC article on my phone this morning was about Lenny Henry – ‘I tried to moonwalk and snapped a tendon in my ankle’. Not exactly the same as my injury but close enough to my Achilles heel damage. The one noticeable difference is that he knew exactly how his injury had happened,… Continue reading Retirement health. Part 4 (at least)
Retirement difficulties, 2 or 3
Retirement difficulties. Have you ever felt battered and bruised by the new week and you look at your watch and it’s only ten o’clock on a Monday morning? No? Well I have, this one in fact. Let me share it with you and then I promise I’ll write something more cheerful next time. Honest. The… Continue reading Retirement difficulties, 2 or 3
Retirement Health, part 6
And now retirement health. After quite a focus on my musical aspirations, which is far from over by the way, I thought it was time for a look at a different aspect of my retirement life. I can’t honestly say it’s any more optimistic but it is at least different. This one inspired, is that… Continue reading Retirement Health, part 6
A short Friday retirement blog: an update on our health
As health-releated retirement blogs go, the list is unending and I shall return to mine shortly but just when I think I’m pulling ahead of Mrs Summerhouse in the ‘things we’ve got wrong with us’ health stakes, she goes and pulls a master stroke, not actually a stroke, but for a while she was worried.… Continue reading A short Friday retirement blog: an update on our health
Retirement blog : A visit to the physio
In an effort to lighten the load of my doctors and kind of spread my ailments around a variety of medical professionals last week I paid a visit to the physiotherapists. I’ve never been clear about the difference between physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths and the like so I made my choice scientifically – I walked past… Continue reading Retirement blog : A visit to the physio
Retirement blog: health issues raise a smile
Who says having medical problems can’t be humorous? Well slightly amusing, well mildly ironic at least. Why do I write so flippantly about my health? Well it’s just funny in a way that’s all. What do they say about busses – you wait for ages and one doesn’t come and then two come along at… Continue reading Retirement blog: health issues raise a smile
Retirement blog: me a one-trick pony?
I don’t write very often about my health, but, at the tender age of 72, it’s bound to figure now and again. True since the pandemic has been with us this last year my health has featured more than just now and again. And here’s the great irony the older I get the more I… Continue reading Retirement blog: me a one-trick pony?
Retirement blog – virus, variants and vaccines
A week ago (from when this retirement blog is posted) the on-going question of the mystery vaccine was resolved. Or was it? We had our first vaccine jab. So one more to go or is it two more or is it in fact no more? Or one more for every year we have left? Hard… Continue reading Retirement blog – virus, variants and vaccines
