The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. Went to bed early last night as I had a bit of a headache. Was in no rush to get up either as it’s wet again. Still mild though so I’ll get a puddly walk done soon.

In a box, that'll be in the back of a van. How else?

This is Lancashire you know........

Morning all. Hard to say as it's pitch black but the sky looks clear. Hopefully this means I can get on the allotment later.

I'm not bothering with an LFT test today. Isolation ends at 23:59 tonight. Seems a waste of a kit. Freedom Day! I was so lucky to be able to cycle in March 2020 lockdown. Three months inside and I would have gone dolally.

Still got a third of the club calendar to complete. Getting tired of it now so I'll make coffee and crack on straight away.

Now if you were in bed and it sounded wet INSIDE you would have a problem

Morning all.
Up early but may do a NumbNuts and go back to bed shortly.
MrsD has her 2nd physio today. As I said, it really p*sses me off when NHS tell me I would have to wait 3-6 months but I now pay 60 quid for a guy from the same department to attend......criminal really

Good morning, world!

It's 13 degrees on Planet Thanet, and when I looked out just now there is a spectacular sky.

No plans for today, but I hope to stay alert enough to go to the midnight firework display down by the harbour.

Keep warm and keep well, everybody.

All night and still pouring. I managed to cycle yesterday , a plodding 45 miles . Only 10 minutes of drizzle Though .
We are entertaining today and tomorrow. 1 friend today, Mrs Jk’s friend since they met at secondary school when they were 11 . One Sister-in- Law tomorrow.

Good morning all, gloomy and wet here.

 

[Blue Hills]

I've been meaning to mention this for ages and keep forgetting..........

In the village next to us is a road called Dick Lane..........stop sniggering at the back.............some new people moved in.........they changed the name of their cottage to.........

Erection Cottage..........I kid you not 😄😄😄

Everyone at the back snort, laugh, snigger

Happy Christmas @12boy that one's for you. This is Britain!!

arrived here by a very roundabout route on a "search" (about ear wax which this sub forum seems to be an expert on) - diverted by this I did of course try to find it on streetview - all very odd - the majority of that lane and a fair few around it don't seem to be on streetview, which normally gets pretty much everywhere. Am wondering what else is on that lane.

 

[Blue Hills]

Sodium Bicarbonate eardrops available at any pharmacy. Can take up to a couple of weeks in a bad case of ear wax but it does work and much cheaper than any private flushing out. Works for me anyway.

can't you just use general kitchen sodium bicarb, just as you can use "normal" olive oil?

We all tend to arrive here in a roundabout way, most simply because they are old codgers and are lost. Then they can't find their way back out

Morning you lot. Dry here now. Lots of rain and wind ( shut it) last night. Lots of roads are closed due to flooding. We have a lot of roads that go over rivers here, so when the rivers flood they all close.

Stay safe peeps
