Midlife and redundant

Becoming redundant on many levels, and physically falling apart, thinking about work, health and mental issues in midlife

@HippySpen Good luck... at least a summer recovery!

123 miles on the bike London to Dover. You have to say thank goodness for #hipreplacements ... 2 years after #totalhipreplacemdnt #hipreplacementrecovery #thr #midlife

Back in stockings and paper pants. At least the hip is still OK.

Bourbon Biscuits sound posh, look posh and are extremely popular. So where did they come from and are they really the best biscuit ever? #biscuithistory #cakehistory #Moldyfuns #teaandcake #siliconemolds

Just heard the ice cream van. That's the sound that says spring is here....

Experts warn of flag shortage if panic buying continues. The demand for flags has grown since Ministers have them in the background on Zoom calls during lockdown. #fakenews #lockdownstories #videocalls

False memories mean that sometimes what you think happened never actually did. Why is that, and what can you do to leverage this brain quirk to make you happier #brainfunctions #memory #mentalhealth #middleageskills

Not sure Jamaican ginger cake will defrost my toes but it's the thought that counts... #saturdayvibes #cyclinglife #hipreplacementrecovery @ Egham https://t.co/uxU0MFoLx0

Remember Marvin the Paranoid Android from Douglas Adams Hitchhikers Guide? Marvin's sayings reflect what many of us feel in middle age. Read how, and what you can do not be a Marvin. #midlifecareerchange #midlifecrisissymptoms #midlifehobbies

12 months in my total hip replacement recovery story. In the end 2020 was much more than that, with Covid, lockdowns and a new job being thrown into the mix. #arthritichipreplacement #Covidrules #hipreplacementstory #hipreplacementsurgery #lockdownstorie

@dagadave Coming up to a year. The physio told me it was because I had learned a whole load of bad walking habits and let side of the muscles waste. At 6 months I was probably worse than now as even a year on I notice improvement. Keep exercising if you can.

The fact i can now balance a plate on my belly suggests the cake is winning the bike vs cake war. Need to cut back once I've finished the mince pies, shortbread and chocolate. Very cold ride today. #newyearcycling #hipreplacementrecovery

[Midlife and redundant @marvinmidlife]

@dagadave I think it's better but someone asked the other day why I was still limping! The physio told me it's to try walking with "soft" legs as I have to unlearn the way I've been walking. I take it you are?

New Year milestone. Half the Christmas Cake eaten. Oh and first ride of the year, to Kingston in the cold. #newyearcycling #cake #hipreplacementrecovery https://t.co/raR7pvM9Fe

It had been 48 hrs without contact. I was worried. But turns out amazon still there for me

Nothing like a bike ride to burn off the Christmas excess, followed by a healthy snack and a #gingerbreadhouse to follow. #christmascake #bikeride #hipreplacementrecovery #lockdowncycle https://t.co/ws8F1FHz0X

Post 30m+ bike ride dilemma. @grace_smithen gingerbread house too good to eat. Mince pie it is. #christmasiscoming #saturdaybikeride #cake #hipreplacementrecovery https://t.co/Z84i8FwDlM

Can I skip giving cards and presents this year and just post a Christmas message on social media, or is that rude?Being in lockdown means I'm not likely to see many of my friends over the Christmas period. I usually buy them a small gift and get the a card https://t.co/B3M8V2tjID

Wet and muddy this morning on the bike but good to be out. Wouldn't have be doing it a year ago. #hipreplacement #hipreplacementrecovery
