The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Spreading panic and alarm again, its one of three options and the least likely yet the media is highlighting it, I'm sure that without the media highlighting the worse case scenario all the time people wouldn't be worrying so much.

You could be right. They don’t seem happy unless they are getting us worried about something. Bloody mind control I think!

I'm safe on that front then!

Good morning, looks like I’m first. We’re heading off to Weymouth Beer Festival today, the lunchtime session. We’ve not got anything planned for later in the day, a bit of snoozing probably 😄

I agree Dave, every day they have to dream up the most dramatic angle, often publishing stuff they know to be factually wrong, manufactured outrage and propaganda dressed up as news. “ Bread and Circuses “ as in Romans times.

Time for my wander I think. Not sure whether to stick to level ground or head up the hill. I’ll see how the legs are feeling once I get moving.

Somewhere in between I need to keep an eye on MrsD while she showers........she also has the mobile hairdresser at some stage.

I have been up early lately. Just don't sleep well. I don't mind being up with the larks

Good morning all, another weeks flown past, shopping this morning, chores this afternoon, ladies coming to cut my Good Ladies hair dinner time, I'll roll up our small mat thats in front of the fire and put her in her wheelchair and park her in the middle of the room.

Our mates move to Winscombe near Cheddar today, so that's 2/3 of the gang in Somerset - only us to go now.

Yay - it's Fish Friday
Table booked at SQ for lunch.

It doesn't take much imagination to work out which section of the press it is either. Manipulation at every step of the way..............or is that every page turned. Couldn't agree more with each of you.

Love a good beerfest: enjoy!
I’ll be out for a couple this evening with some pals before we head to a Steve Hackett concert. It’s all go!

Good day. Mild, grey and breezy instead of the peeing down, windy and mild we were promised. I want some rain to settle my onions in. So virtually everything I had to do is done. Only two major tasks left, one of which can be kicked in the long grass. Much of what I have to do now is packing, preparation etc. I have lists, I like a good list. Debated if I needed a spreadsheet or not as I like a good spreadsheet even more than a list but decided a spreadsheet was a touch excessive

• First task today is to make a list of the different lists I need to make
• Second task today is to add things to each of the lists on my list of lists I need to make
• When I've finished my lists I can gather stuff together and tick it off on the appropriate list
• Make sense????
• No, not really but it gives you all something to quietly smile about and shake your heads

This morning is about getting all my stuff together and this afternoon the six monthly meeting with my lad's care providers
