The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Good morning. Another glorious day here. Perfect conditions at the moment. I do hope it is cooler here today, but i am not holding out much hope.

Off down to Sidmouth this morning.
I thought I'd packed all my stuff for the week. Turns out that I forgot to pack any trousers! So used to wearing shorts for the past few weeks that it completely slipped my mind. Mountain Whorehouse here we come!

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.

I remember a school Guinea pig from years ago, we had it for the school summer holidays and it cost me ten quid in vets fee's.

All the very best with this. Air ambulance?

Normal service with wheelchair each end. Must admit to a pang of guilt being pushed to the front of every queue, the one at East Midlands was or would have been 90 minutes long.

Morning all, dog walked, porridge eaten and now I am getting ready for a 30 mile ride out to Hertford and back around the lanes via Essendon, Bayford, Newgate street and Northaw. Might get a tad warm so factor 50 will be applied.

Today Ironed 3 loads of washing and cleaned house from top to bottom ..........Mrs P hemmed a dress and watched tennis.

Tomorrow I will be

DISASTER STRIKES!!!! Mrs P has just returned from feeding our neighbour and great friend’s gold fish. This gold fish is so old it’s white. It’s 31 years old........and currently laying on the bottom of the tank. We’ve changed half the water in the hope it’s just got heat stroke.

Please Lord let it live another 48 hours.

Couldn't you find another 31 year old white goldfish and swap it over

Mrs GM did her good deed for the day yesterday. The evening before she took the dog over the park for a walk and run, when she found a wallet on a bench. After a bit of detective work she managed to contact the owner, he was over the moon when he collected it yesterday morning so much so he gave her a box of Mr Kipling's cakes

Our new fridge/freezer has been delivered.

Looks the mutt's nuts, but I had to do some work. I took the door handles off the wooden door to the porch.

This was insufficient, so I had to take the whole bally door off!

I've now going to put the whole lot back together before I can play with the new fridge...

I am having fibre broadband. The new hub arrived today. We plugged it in and put the password into my tablet. Things always work better when you put the right password in. . Now sorted and all well. The fibre internet should be activated sometime on Monday.
