The Retirement Thread

[Mike Ayling]

Well we're back

Emergency phone call at about 12:45 as the elest grand child - female - had rung her Mum becuase she was home
and had just discovered that she had forgotten her keys
so she was stuck on the doorstep

we were due to leave soon anyway so we just hurried up a bit
my wfe refused to send the message "Pops says you are a prat"
so I had to leave it until we got there

she had not even thoyght of trying to open their back gate and sitting in teh garden on the comfy garden chairs
Honestly!
I would at least tried!

Middle grandson arrived on "his" bus from his special school at about 2:30 - finished early due to end of term

Then had to go and get the youngest and their cousin from the Primary school - they finish nex t Tuesday so normal time today


funny thing on the way back
There is a busy junction controlled by traffic lights
there was a queue - as ususal - and it moved forward but the lights went red when the car in front was just crossing the line
so - clearly - I had to stop
a few seconds later someone in the queue behind me blew his (probably!) horn FOUR times

then a while later when they were STILL on red - blew it again - FIVE times this time

not exactly sure why - but there you go

and then on teh motorway home 3 different people tried to undertake me when I was trying to move into the inner lane
I was doing 70 at the time in all 3 cases

maybe the planets are in a strange position today???

The Victorian Assistant Police Commissioner for traffic nailed it in an interview on traffic deaths - entitled and arrogant drivers so until parents and schools amend their approach yibbida yibbida.

Early to bed with a book and a labrador.

Looking back, I think Bruce knew I was unwell. Second half of last week he was sticking to me like glue and I did half wonder then if he could sense something.

It is well known now that dogs have this 6th sense that they can detect illnesses in humans before us.
They really are splendid animals.

I got up again as I wasn’t sleepy. Made a cuppa and I’ll have a browse then try again. That’s what happens when I don’t get out enough during the day.

have you still got your treadmill ? I use mine in the wee small hours sometimes when sleep does not arrive for me > It helps ( usually)

You'll be awake all morning now.

The house is still warm so not sure I fancy it.
