The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

The Eagle has landed.

 

[perplexed]

Following an emergency MRI in a Turkish hospital and 3 days laying flat on a bed with a herniated disc I am not looking forward to the next 12 hours which hopefully will see us back home.

Doesn't sound like much of a Delight...*




*sorry for the crap joke, hope you get home safe and well screenman...

Tomorrow will mostly be spent waiting in for a delivery, which is scheduled between 0700 and 1900.


Which means of course it will turn up at either:

a) the minute I put the first forkful of my tea in my gob, or


b) at 1856

Well fish update. Mrs P went round again but no significant improvement.

Apparently the neighbours are due home tonight*** and have duly arrived. I’m relieved they will have some time with the fish and we won’t have to sit up with it all night.

*** should have checked the village spreadsheet - we’ve been on hens, plants, green house, cats (two) and fish feeding duty in recent weeks. It’s a relief our younger neighbours don’t leave their kids behind

A prime example and reason for declining looking after other peoples beloved pets.

Swim bladder.

Yes, we made that mistake a few years ago with a friends dog, I'm not a dog person, I would have said no but by the time I was told the deal had been done.

 

[Drago]

Did the dog have a problem with his swim bladder?

Swim bladder.

Does this mean it has a chance?

The neighbours whose fish is dying on our watch we’re feeding another neighbour’s cat last summer.

They had to ring and say the cat’s ill and the vet recommends putting her to sleep.

Off out for a run in a min, then an early lunch, then off out to Coleshill for 10 hours SAR training.

Maybe it was a dogfish.
