The Retirement Thread

I know! I have to carefully open the packet over the sink them try and get them into the bowl and shake the crumbs in too, but next time you go back to the packet, the crumbs are magically back!

Why dont you pour the milk straight into the packet. Then, each day, take out what you want. They surely can't go any more soggy than they are normally .
No thanks needed, glad to help

Mrs P banned me from hard, sticky sweets...

Good heavens above. @Fnaar would have a coronary if he read that!

Just finished mine Now for a coffee.

I have a problem with Weetabix with the crumbs going everywhere when removing them from the packet.

As a younger man one of my guilty pleasures was buttered Weetabix.
Delicious but very messy 😋

Morning all.
You may (maybe not) recall the myself, MrsD and my mate all got flu in November/December......it lasted till March. My mate, who is a big, fit guy, turned into pneumonia.
Well, come April-ish we all wondered if we had actually had C19.
Not to bore you but, even now, most mornings me and MrsD have a good kip but get out of bed feeling weak and shaky. Today I am sat here sweating profusely.
Anyway.........on radio 5 they were just discussing 'after Covid 19 fatigue syndrome'. I am getting more convinced that is what we had.
Not sure wether to do anything about it or not

Mrs P is retired SRN, SRM and highly qualified infant feeding specialist with 38+ years frontline experience. If someone begins talking up the latest theory which she feels is nonsense her immediate retort will be "show me the peer reviewed evidence." Keep this in mind.

Mrs P is absolutely convinced she had Covid-19 beginning December 28th. All the right symptoms in the right order. It was late May before she fully recovered. I haven't seen her so ill in 42 years.

Plenty of folk poo poo this with "there was something nasty going around." There was - Covid-19!

Samples taken at the time, not now, from French people who had pneumonia in November have been retested and found to have had the virus.

It was here but no one knew what to look for.

I actually edited it 3 times before posting it so as not to offend the very delicate Mo or Welshie.

Morning all, looks like more showers today, but not as windy as yesterday. We got quite a drenching on yesterday’s walk. Temperatures were quite fresh too, definitely a feeling of late summer. Underlined by the ripening raspberries and developing conkers that we noticed on our way. Bracken is still green though so we’re not quite into autumn yet.

My son has taken part in a trial of an antibody test at Imperial College last Thursday. He like myself and MrsP had the bug as did many people did in early January/February. He does live separately to us.
The result of his testing has shown that he has no antibodies in his system to the Covid 19. This could be of course that the antibodies don't last many months, which is one train of thought. He also tested negative for Covid 19 at present. This is despite working almost normally on the railways through the pandemic.

I agree.
If I thought they could/were able to do anything I would phone the Doc. I think they have more on their plates than my probs though.

Morning all....Happy Birthday Paul according to Mo's theory you've got to do a 66 mile today, enjoy!

I agree with what you're all saying about covid, I'm convinced we all had it before Christmas. I'm feeling guilty that I took it to NZ on boxing day with me.

66 miles would be no problem for Paul. He regularly seems to churn out long rides.

I'm still not feeling very keen to go out yet. Maybe another coffee will help me decide.

As a lad I was seriously into conker collecting and competitions.......so every year I find it interesting to see how their developement is affected by rain/sun/temperature etc.
Around here they don't yet seem to be developing.......it can change quickly though.

A review of samples taken 10 years ago shows the virus was in existence back then. My BiL (the nice one that looks like Peter Griffin, not the annoying one that looks like Ian Beale) was hospitalised with Covid type symptoms just after christmas. Makes you wonder.
