The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Morning all

I have risen!

Plumber due in today for a bit of minor snagging.

Read that without my glasses and thought 'why are you employing a paedo plumber'...

Wet and windy (again!) today. Best I stay indoors.

Well - the brickies have turned up and are finished off the brickwork on the new shed

but the landscape people are missing

I got up at 8 expecting them - or at least a few of them - to have arrived already and be sorting stuff out ready to start

but no - only the 2 working on the shed

I presume they are waiting for a delivery of "stuff" and know that it will arrive later on

not asking - I'll just let them get on with it

hopefully I will be able to rescue my bike from the old shed ina day or so and it can be locked up in the new shed
ad I can get out on it

should be OK - the new storm seems to avoid civilised areas and just be annoying posh areas down south that don;t matter so that's good!

What a lovely morning here. It’s quite chilly but the sky is clear and we have some sun. Looks like two or three dry days to come. Might dry up the paths a bit.

It might be a noisy day as the workers putting Virgin fibre in have started on our street.

Am I allowed to make comments about Virgins in Mo's street???

No?

thought not
OK then




in other news - found out that when the builders emptied the old metal shed so they could move it they found a dead hedgehog at the back of it!


shame - the doors don;t fully close at the bottom which never fixed so little things could go there in winter - looks like that one didn;t make it through

Me too. I spilt my coffee 😊

Good morning. Dank. #SP1 is here, she's upstairs with Nana who is still in bed.....that'll learn her. I'm grabbing five minutes with a coffee.

#SP1 wants to go swimming. This is Nana's role but she can't take her this week. Mrs P had a melanoma removed 10 days ago and she's not allowed to swim till next week. The melanoma was a side effect of her cancer treatment. I can't quite believe that.

I offered to take SP to the public pool. This was declined as she likes David Lloyd!!!!

The next request is to visit Hoppity. Hoppity is a sheep with spina bifida that a friend keeps. She has a small holding and raises a few lambs each year. Hoppity is 3 years now. In all honesty I don't fancy a 20 minute cold damp trek across wet fields to visit a sheep.

I have a routine opthalmology appointment to check my eye pressures and pre-glaucoma indicators. Purely precautionary as there is family history of glaucoma.

You have a sick mind


funny how we are so similar!!

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

Just had a text - well SWMBO has

apparently her sister is in hospital

again

they really don;t seem to be able to sort her out

what we need is Dr House from the telly - which I am watching at the moment while SWMBO is watching Corrie or endless political stuff

between the 2 of them I think they are trying to tick off everything!!!

We are having soup today. Big soup with a bread roll ( I have not doubt so will call it something else) the bread roll that is not the soup.
