Do whatever you fancy

What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

Strategy? What a load of old tosh. if you have a strategy for your health and well being than you need to give your head a wobble as you’re over thinking it.

This is what the dictionary states:

Dictionary

Definitions from Oxford Languages ·

noun

noun: strategy; plural noun: strategies

  1. 1. a plan of action designed to achieve a long-term or overall aim.”time to develop a coherent economic strategy”Similar:master plan grand design game plan plan of action plan policy proposed action scheme blueprint programme procedure approach schedule tactics set of tactics

Here’s what I do though:

  • I eat what I want
  • I drink plenty of water
  • I sleep when my body tells me to
  • I get drunk occasionally
  • I do what I want, when I want
  • I don’t suffer fools
  • Don’t do social media
  • Don’t follow MSM
  • Enjoy life

Not much of a list to follow but basically do what you want and don’t follow the advise of a fool such as me, or some other numpty on social media who claims to know the answers to life. ( A dimfluencer )

However I’m still here after almost six decades, so I must be doing something right.

Happy days all….

Baked beans on toast.

That’s all folks

List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.

  • You will die

You choose your direction in life. Make it good.

Peace to all.

Neither, I believe

Are you seeking security or adventure?

I have security in particular aspects. My job and my relationship being the main ones.

Adventure, nah I’ve done all of that, I’ve got numerous tee shirts to prove it.

For me it’s now comfort. I have it in my relationship but not my job. I have itchy feet in that aspect.

When I’m in a position to vacate this role I would have then found the comfort I seek.

It will come.

Patience young man….

Retirement beckons

Dinner for 14 please..

If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?

Strange one this, it would have to be a mix of those who are living and those who have passed.

It would be something like this:

  • My Wife – we always have plenty to talk about, relevant and irrelevant.
  • My brother John – passed away a few years back, but such a funny soul.
  • My Mum – again passed away but such a beautiful kind soul.
  • Karl Sagan – this guy cemented my interest in the universe with his Cosmos tv series and the book I still have to this day.
  • Professor Brian Cox – the modern version of Karl, and someone he could talk to, I’d love to eavesdrop this conversation.
  • Michael Stipe of REM – my favourite group, I have so many questions and what a lovely guy.
  • Michael Collins – Apollo 11, what was it like to be floating about out there when your colleagues were getting all the acclaim on the lunar surface?
  • My Brother in law Tel – always good company.
  • My sister in law Liz – absolutely lovely, and always ready to stir it up.
  • My sister Anne – a duplicate of my dear mum.
  • Bob Marley – my introduction to Reggae.
  • Bing Crosby – my dad’s favourite singer, and I was brought up listening to him, as I don’t want my dad there this would be close enough to him.
  • My Nan – Dads mum. A lovely tortured suffering soul that would do anything for anyone.

That’s about it. What a mixture of people. I’m sure I’d sit there for ages just holding the hands of my loved ones and just listening and savouring every little moment.

Perfect

Happy days everyone

Wine & life

What do you think gets better with age?

Wine…. old movies, aged steak and being happy with your lot.

My life in a nutshell 😂

Easy.

Nuff said

A little shift here and there

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

Anyone who works shifts as well as I have for the last 30+ years will testify that setting times for sleeping and waking up is about as much use as a chocolate fire poker. It just can’t be done.

I sometimes drop like a log in the early afternoon and have a nap. I’m sometimes walking around the house at 2 in the morning wide awake and ready to go. Shift work does that to you it kills any remainder of circadian rhythm.

I do what my body says. And I’m a slave to that. Forget what all the “Specialists” say in that you must have your 8hrs sleep – pure tosh.

They need to get with it and realise this world is on shift work and the nine to fivers are a rarity in these times we live in.

I sleep when my body says, I wake when it tells me. And that could be at anytime within a 24hr period.

Have a good day people. Just take a nap. You’ll feel better for it.

Absolutely pathetic…

What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?

This site don’t half ask some pretty stupid questions at times. Using this title as a suggestion as if everyone makes a strategic plan to introduce comfort into their life. if you have to plan comfort into your daily routine then something is seriously wrong in your outlook. Give your head a wobble.

It’s my opinion yes, you might disagree, that’s fine that’s your choice, but don’t bother me with “Strategies” when it’s just overthinking and over analysing what is a natural everyday occurrence.

Retirement & Hedgehogs

What are you most excited about for the future?

Yeah I’ve mentioned it before, I’m fed up with work and want to retire and all things going well in just over two years that will become reality.

In other news it’s been a busy period recently with the Hedgehogs returning to our garden. So for the first time this season I put the Hedgehog cam out again and it didn’t disappoint. Have a look at this video here:

Latest Hog Cam

Even our feral cat who guards the garden sussed the camera out, she knows every inch of her domain. The hogs don’t bother her and they just all go about their business. It really is a lovely sight.

The fact they continue to visit our garden after we’ve developed it as a sanctuary for them always excites me. They are a rare and endangered species that needs our help and support.

Here’s to the hogs.

Have a peaceful day.

Don’t let go

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

Nothing. I have nothing personally, materially or mentally that I want to offload and certainly not to be harmonious to someone else. The disharmony is normally due to someone’s inability to accept someone has something they don’t.

Don’t envy, admire.
