The Retirement Thread

10mph is our typical average speed!

Until now, we have been quite happy with that, are you trying to tell me we are slow?

I thought I was slow and I'm averaging 13mph.

From my Facebook page this afternoon.

We use a website (app if you are young and only picked up computers recently!!) to do repeat prescriptions
Then they get sent to the Pharmacy automatically
All other ones also get sent there but we have to contact the GP to get them (e.g. Ventalin as we need it so seldom - but doesn;t need a GP visit)

When I lived in Wales Repeat prescriptions were ordered automatically by the pharmacy - but I think that has changed as it tended to lead to people building up a stock.

We don;t get a message to say it is ready - I will investigate if that is possible as they can take a while from our GP!

I hate being hounded by things like that. It's the same when you get a quote for insurance. Bugger off and leave me alone.

I had a phone call earlier from a nice Asian gentleman to advise me about a problem with my BT Internet.
I let him go on a bit before telling him I don't have internet.
It went very quiet then

Sitting in the car in Portsmouth, waiting for the gates to open so we can get on board and off to St Malo at 20.30. Arrival time 7.30 am after a good night sleep in our cabin, I hope.

A lovely crossing. Enjoy.

I am going to have to take my merino base layer off as it's driving me mad with itching. I see it can have that effect on some people.

Done whilst inside the house?

Not sure what the conditions are in Portsmouth but here in Poole there is a clear sky and a very bright Jupiter is visible just above and to the left of the moon!

Good morning,
It’s early but I couldn’t sleep so I’m browsing the forums. Planning on parkrun later if it’s not chucking it down.

I nearly got up at 4 too as I wasn’t sleeping. Forced myself to lie for a bit longer as it was cosy. We have rain due around 8 though so I should get out soon.

 

[Dave7]

I was awake at 0430. Lay, awake till 0645 then crawled out.
Rain in here for the day.
Its a 'book read' cum tv sport day I think.
