When you start including the afternoon nap on your daily list of things to accomplish.

I have never taken afternoon naps. Nights are for sleeping, except when the TDF, various WCs and the Ashes as well as Le Mans on. While l don’t pull any all nighters, l will often stay up later. Still have to get up at 7.30 to walk the dog etc.

It’s more of a concern when you start to list waking up from an afternoon nap as an accomplishment.

I absolutely love 'em. Lie back in the comfy chair and drift off for 30 - 60 minutes and wake up feeling relaxed, alert and refreshed.

Since retiring, I’ve noticed that I’ve gradually been going to bed later and getting up later than when I used to when working.

Watching the game with my boy tonight, Caddy takes a mark, my boy turns to me and says “He’s bloody younger than me!”.

I felt very old in that moment.

Did the 3 minute walk down to the local supermarket yesterday to get some sugar.

Came back with a bag full of stuff so a successful trip.

Just made myself a cup of tea…no sugar!!!

It was the reason I went to the shops and I forgot all about it.

Yesterday was the second time that I’ve left a bag of shopping behind at the supermarket self check-out. Luckily both times I’ve been able to retrieve it later in the day when I remembered.

I wonder if I try random supermarkets and just say I left a bag at self checkout and see what I get
