The Retirement Thread

Afternoon all ,
It’s the end of the week so I must be taking a car to be repaired at a garage 😂😀.
It’s my daughter cars this time , two problems with it .
First one is easy , the front window washers are blocked again . Needs to be working as she taking her test again soon .
Second one could be more expensive, as it’s had a fault on the power steering when I had her doing reversing practice with me a couple of weeks ago . It’s ok again now but needs checking over. Seems strange to me as you would think with an electric system it would either work or not , but what would I know .
Will have to pick it up later and i suspect the bank of dad may have a part to play in paying for what ever work is done. 😀

Good afternoon. Mrs Tkk had a " procedure " at the Hospital this morning, all clear thank goodness. I wandered into Poole while she was being investigated and popped into a café where I bumped into an ex neighbour and we passed the time catching up with each other's lives.
Back at the Hospital I was waiting in recovery for Mrs Tkk and noticed that one of the older nursing auxiliaries kept looking at me over her paperwork. Eventually she said " has anyone ever told you that you look like that man who's been on the telly " " Richard Gere? " I said hopefully . " No, no, not him, that Mandelson chap " was her reply. We then spent a good natured few minutes discussing how best I might alter my appearance. She suggested a goatee, I said a Groucho Marx moustache and glasses. When Mrs Tkk came into recovery the discussion continued with a few more suggestions from the nursing staff.
It's been quite an eventful day all in all.

This post from a Facebook Bruce Springsteen group I belong to. The opening question was "Have you met Bruce?" Love this reply. I so hope it's true 🤣
