The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

Well spotted.... do you watch pointless too?

Yes Pointless followed by House of Games, knowing Emilys from Emmelines an essential life skill for both

 

[welsh dragon]

Well we shoild have.
Come on old farts.....lets dig a tunnel and protest.

Your kidding. You can hardly dig yourself out of bed in the morning let alone dig a ruddy great tunnel.

Well, OK, if you want to be picky... but.... we could TALK a lot about digging a tunnel, couldn't we? .... please

I, too read some of the gender thread. I was reminded of how unaware I am of these kinds of issues and how out of touch I am with the language they are expressed in.
We will enjoy high winds here for a bit longer, but since they are Chinook winds, temps will go up 7 or 8 C. Think I'll go for a ride today in spite of the wind, but it will only be around the golf course a few times.
Good news, Dave r about Mrs D. Hopefully she will get fixed and be back home with you soon.
Be safe and well...

Well I can cheer you on while you dig .

Anyway, getting up in the morning is not a problem.....I am normally up by 06 30ish. But come 11 00ish the fatigue hits and I am in bed for another 2 hours. Then in bed 22.00ish.
Managed a 1 1/2 - 2 mile walk today which I was pleased with.

On a serious note... unusual for me...

May I ask if any of you on here have experience of "The Parsley Box", or, similar Ready Meals supplier?

It is not for me personally, myself and Mrs @BoldonLad are. not quite at the stage of "meals on wheels" yet, but, for a relative (Brother-in-law) who we sort of look after, and who, increasingly, is not feeding himself adequately.

Thanks, in advance, for any input.

Been watching the new series of The Bay. I’ll have a break and watch more this evening after tea. Enjoying it.

I have this one just along the road that I may well use when I reach decrepitude.......if that’s even a word

Don't worry, I am like you and happy that way. She = female and He = male and that's it for me and the way nature intended it to be.

Well said!

Nature seems to absolutely love diversity; it's mankind that doesn't seem to, and then pretends to know what nature intends.

I have rushed through my cryptic crossword training guide and set to work on the example puzzles. The first one was pretty easy - a Sun cryptic, which took me 8 minutes to complete. I was feeling pleased with myself until I found videos of someone solving the bigger and vastly more difficult Times cryptics (that I am struggling to solve ANY clues of) in 5 or 6 minutes!

I've see them advertised. Seem like a good idea for some people who might not be good at taking good care of themselves. Quick, easy to store and easy to heat up as well

Does nature have intentions?
That would imply agency.
