    That reminds me, I'm due for another booster jab since my birthday.

    Main area for Covid seem to be near Exeter to the south west. It never went away though, just cycling up and down at lower levels.

    Can one retire from being retired? I am so busy, I have little spare time, I couldn't possibly fit a job in too .

    (I've figured it out actually, everybody around me has got so used to me doing lots that they just sit back and let me do everything)

    What, so do you find yourself doing lots of jobs for friends and family? A burden of your own making by being willing, able, and available. The only way out I can see is to get a part time job, leaving you with no time for their stuff. And at least you'll be getting paid for your efforts

    The only other way would be to play the age card, but it's a slippery slope - if you convince others you're no longer fit or strong enough, you may eventually believe it yourself. That's my fear. And it I'm honest a lot of it will be vanity. Mrs. P thinks I no longer do work on rooflines/guttering, but that's not quite true.

    That's about right. The only other person willing to get stuck in and have a go at just about anything is my daughter.

    Oh well, that's something I suppose. And more than my daughters can manage, they're both pretty hopeless. As are their respective partners.

    But I do think it's a good thing to keep your hand in as long as you are able. We just need to try harder at not injuring ourselves

    Just finished juicing some tomatoes and then some apples.
    Washed machine and it's drying in front of fan. Always leaves it streak free. Fan is on anyway as it's close again.

    Good juicer it is too. It's a cold press masticator type and produces load of juice and the remains are surprisingly dry.
