The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Bring back Classic......all is forgiven. Hate to say it but he was right, its been raining here . Hope it inproves as outside is being painted**.

I shall keep you posted

Be careful what you ask for. The former is because of the latter anyway.

A nice sunny morning here, just cool enough not to break into a sweat, but warm enough for shorts and T shirt to be worn.(as usual)

Morning, after having a letter from my local (20 miles away) saying that I’ll have to wait 33 weeks for an initial NHS Wales appointment with an ankle specialist for the osteoarthritis I have I’m of to Wrexham (88 miles) to see one privately.

It goes against the grain for me but needs must at the moment.

Quite cool here now and the wind is getting stronger as well. Def not as nice as yesterday.

That is an awfully long time to wait. I can see why, not only you but many people are now going private.

Morning folks. A chilly start here but it should warm up later.

Its always chilly or wet over your way

Not always. It's not too bad now.

Afternoon all. Just done a mini triathlon, 2 mile ride to our local swimming pool, 4 lengths of the pool, home and run to the loo

In all fairness I'm a useless swimmer, it must be at least 20 years since I've been to our local pool, probably when the kids were young. Enjoyed it though, I might even go again tomorrow.

25 mile circular ride with a lunch stop in Cheddar. Perfect cycling weather - warm, sunny and not a lot of wind.
Hopefully, tomorrow will be the same.
Barbeque and beer tonight with my bestest mates. Life is good.

Seems so wrong. You pay into it all your life and then.... nadah.
Maybe if you emigrate then come back as a migrant you will get immediate free treatment

Told you not to pack those bloomers away. Do you want me to post you the ones you left here ?

Got my game of golf in. Did ok and was joint 1st when I left the club.
The painter has done well and the outside is looking good, as is the kitchen.
Late lunch/early tea will be fresh crusty bread with ham and pickled onions (with a can of Speckled Hen of course)

That’s why it goes against the grain.

Saw a consultant, the initial NHS X-rays were not load bearing so he couldn’t deduce much, but not osteoarthritis as first diagnosed, maybe a bit in the bottom of the ankle joint . More X-rays required. It will mean travelling to Wrexham but I’m now on a NHS Wales consultant’s list for treatment.

That'll have been before you started wacking that poor ball around, what about after?

You have light rain around 13:00?
