The Retirement Thread

[numbnuts]

Morning all

Woe woe and thrice woe (Frankie Howard) my back is still no better, I've got a job to walk around the flat. It feels like it maybe the start of a prolapse disc, I hope it's not, but it's in the same place where I had my operations in the past, if it's no better by the end of the week I will have to seek medical help.
I've got a ding or is it a ping ? microwave chicken curry for dinner so there is no work for me other than washing up the plate and fork, I like to have a ready meal in the freezer for times like these.
It's dull and overcast here with 23c and feels very muggy, last night with all the windows open my flat was 24c and had trouble sleeping, may have a lie down this afternoon.

I help run our village FB group. This morning I've had to tell two friends if they continue to put their dispute re car parking on the FB page they will be blocked. FFS this is two grown "mature" men of our age. The police have already been involved twice.

Most of us mutter w***** or d****** whenever it blows up.

Sorry to hear about your back NN. Per my chiro it is ice packs for me as soon as possible and many times through out the day. Regular core exercise and daily stretches help prevent my problems, I am certain. Going to be in the upper 90's with lows in tge 60s for the next few days. I like to run the attic fan in the early morning to flush out the 140 degree heat in the attic which in turn makes the air conditioner work less hard.

My Good Lady had a sausage sandwich and I had a banana sandwich, we have a small pork joint for later.

Just fed Molly. Bowl licked clean. So good to see her back to her old self. 😺

Tea for me later will be chicken with new potatoes and salad stuff.

I had a very short siesta as it was cricket on at the games and it’s one sport that doesn’t excite me much. Think the swimming should be good this evening. I heard there was another horrendous crash at the cycling with several going down and one going over the barrier! Thankfully reports are he’s ok.

A dramatic end to this morning's session at the Velodrome.
A big crash at the end of the scratch race, 2 laps to go. 8 riders went down, another ended up on the barrier but went back down in a heap. Another English rider trying to avoid the crash hit a bike and got a flier up onto the barrier then flipped right over into the front row of the crowd at speed.
It happened just to the left of where I was sitting, so I got a great view of it.

Fortunately there were no serious injuries to the couple of spectators, and it seems the riders who went to hospital, Matt Walls and Matt Bostock are not too seriously injured.

Yes, Mrs @BoldonLad, who hates football, has suddenly turned into an expert.

Mrs P was in front of the telly with a glass of Prosecco before I'd finished sanding the bathroom woodwork.

I really enjoy the women's game. There's been challenges that would have had male players calling for an ambulance and the ladies just get up and get on with ir.

Excellently taken goal.

I don't like Prosecco, I tried it once and it taste horrible. What's all the fuss about ?

Some Prosecco's are much better than others.
