The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. Still very windy out but quite mild. I will have a walk and maybe jog a bit depending on how the legs are feeling.

Blue bin day but maybe better not put it out in the wind until nearer time for the lorry to arrive.

I have risen!

Good morning people.

Good morning folks,
Popped up to Wimborne yesterday afternoon to retrieve my “ man bag “ that I’d left in the pub last week. It would be rude to dash and run, so I perched myself on a bar stool and supped a pint of “ Posh IPA “ from Sandbanks Brewery.
Must head out for a run soon, I’ve got to go to Poole later with Mrs Tenkaykev to “ pick up a few things “‘🤔
Stay safe folks ☕️

Morning. Dry and calm. I stayed in bed as I was nice and warm.

Stay safe peeps

Hello! The sky is clearing to a pale blue, sun coming out and forecast till 3.00pm.

Heading out to my favourite cafe at 9.30 with two other pedalling pensioners.

Not much else to do really other than sort out my lad's Covid pass for Saturday. It's going to be chaos at Ewood. 12-14000 trying to get in the ground in the space of +/- 30 minutes, half won't have a Covid passport.

I'm confident we will be fine as I've had a pass for months, I'll get my son's and we always use the disabled entrance.

Morning all.
My Bro and SiL visited yesterday lunch time and brought a mix of chinese food from M&S.
They stayed till late evening and I admit that alcohol was imbibed......hence my lie in. How can 4 people use so many dishes/plates ?
I am just tidying up right now.

 

[Dirk]

Off for a walk down to the village for a bit of shopping in a mo.
Roofers supposedly turning up after lunchtime to fix the ridge tile that blew off in the last storm.
Dad's house went on the market on Monday. We had 3 viewings yesterday and another 2 booked in for Thursday. There appears to be a lot of interest.

Some of those look good, I've been looking at these for a while, I've got a couple of things to look into then I'm going to have to go into these in more detail, I think I'll be looking at older petrol models, Tepee or similar.

Have you looked at mobility allowance I can’t remember al the details of using the allowance for Motorbility
It did depend on being on the higher rate Mobility Allowance

Got some good news about my dodgy immune system and Covid while on a medically related Zoom call yesterday afternoon. Initial results are showing the vaccine to be 70-80% effective for people with my particular type of blood cancer. I should also be getting my fourth jab ( booster ) towards the end of next month.
There has been poor communication and some misunderstanding between the various branches of the NHS, people who are severely immunosuppressed were eligible for a full strength third primary jab from 8 weeks after the second jab, but when trying to book an appointment were refused because the people arranging the appointments thought " third jab = booster " and telling them that they weren't eligible as six months hadn't passed.
Hopefully that's been sorted and I'll be getting my fourth jab sometime next month. 💉💉💉💉

Its one of the things we're looking at, we need to get her mobility assessed first.

Morning [again] folks crashed out and woke up more tired than before
Bought a couple of those small light sets which are only 6 squids or so, anyhow when i opened the package they were both flashing! Could understand one getting bumped in transit and turning on but both? They must last for ages if they were switched on when sent.

My twin grandsons have compromised systems as well but they have not heard anything about a 4th jab.
