The Retirement Thread

[pawl]

Had pleasant trip to Loughborough ( my home town )this morning We used to go a couple of times a month This was the first visit since covid broke out
A lot of shops had closed. Some shops had opened where long established shop had closed down

Good to see the market was still thriving .
Had lunch in Witherspoons Not surprised to see how well it’s patronised by my generation of beer drinkers As far as I could see the prices of a range of beers none were more tha £2 30
Pleasant walk back to the car through the park .Sat for a while and listened to Carillon recital .
A very pleasant morning.

Are these the same tablets Mr Moses got,you know ye shall not covert thy neighbours ass, or something like that.

Thought they were ones God told him to keep taking.

I think I need a lie down now and that’s just reading that!

I got the washing machine on and mopped the Kitchen, bathroom and through lounge floor before we went out, we went to a local chemist for my Good Ladies blood test, on to a favourite cafe for lunch then down the club for a few hours drinking beer and playing bingo, when we got back I put a second machine load on.

@Exlaser2 re the blister packs. This is a cost underwritten by the pharmacy? I imagined it to be NHS funded. I have blister packs for my own convenience but I don't need them in the manner some folk do.

My pharmacy is a small village independent. If it's costing them money I'm going to cancel the blister packs.

A steady 5k with Mrs Tenkaykev followed by a trip into town to get some new walking shoes. Ended up with a pair of Merrels which fitted my broad feet well. I took a pair of Brasher woollen walking socks with me to ensure I got the fit as close as possible. The stress of shopping saw me seek refuge in the pub, a couple of pints of “ Funky Monkey “ from Frome brewery left me feeling pleasantly relaxed. 🍺🍺😎

its not unusual to have someone with a whole bag of tablets and stuff for everyone in the neighbourhood.

Mr Moses only had two tablets to share with millions.

I’m not sure there were that many waiting at the foot of the mountain🤔

This is correct . Mrs exlaser pharmacy used to do x20 the amount of blister packs they do now, because care companies liked them as it made it easier for their care workers. These days there are only done if it’s essential for people to be able to take their tablets themselves .

I've had a busy day, and I've still got a few things to do before I retire to my pit for the night.

I would talk to your pharmacy/ pharmacist first. They will advise you what’s best for you .
