The Retirement Thread

What if you went into hospital, you'll have to wear one of those “I can see your naked bum gowns”
In my grab bag for hospital I have Pjs, dressing gown and nightshirts, the latter is for leg injuries, Pjs and no good for them, from experience

Last one of those I wore, I fastened it up at the front.

Bloomin heck. Just been to town. Forgot it was Wednesday and Wednesday means market day. I have never seen so many people in town. Only 1 or 2 parking spaces left and people were queuing in lines of about 30 just to get a ticket.

Needless to say I didn't stop. I exited the car park and made a beeline for home as fast as I could and on my way out of town there were lines of cars waiting to get in

Note to myself. Never go to town ever ever again on a Wednesday during the summer.

Not quite. First town, then the hoards of babylon will descend onto Snowdon

When I was rushed into hospital in 2012 I didn't have time to get a bag of things together but I did manage to grab a few changes of underwear. The hospital provided me with PJs. Next morning, a porter wheeled me down to have an ultrasound scan. The sonographer immediately asked in a curt voice if I was wearing underwear. I thought that was a pretty personal question...

"Yes... Why?"

"GREAT - Please take off your pyjama bottoms!"

Ah, I got it - 5 seconds later I had an ultrasound probe being swished across my upper left inner thigh*** to track down the suspected DVT!

*** Most DVTs form in the calf, but mine was much higher due to me accidentally tourniquetting the top of my leg.

Last time I was in hospital I had boxer shorts, t shirts and a dressing gown.

G'day y'all... Lovely morning here, just had a nice walk with 🐶 and a trip to Sainsbury's. This afternoon it's continuing with the patio re-designing, I'm going to be one of those noisy neighbours that don't you just love, breaking up concrete with a kango

Enjoy the rest of your day folks!

It looks a nice tablet, but it doesn't have a full HD screen. My old tablet had the same 1280 x 800 resolution but my new one is the full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080. It definitely makes a difference though it might not be something that bothers you.

I'm not fussed.
