The Retirement Thread

I'm shattered, utterly Donald. Mrs D's MS playing badly and I had to have ambo out last night. Only 3 hours sleep but my body still woke me at 6am. Might not be about so much today, and any posts I do make may make even less sense than usual.

my best wishes for a better day and an improvement in Mrs D's condition.

Morning all, I am about to take the dog out and stop at the cafe on the way back for tea and a bacon sarnie, I am also going to check if the launderette is still open in Whetstone as the Duvet needs a wash, I'm not sure the place still exists.
The plumbers are coming in today to fit(hopefully) the units in the bathroom. It is becoming a bit of a saga. At least the room is tiled and the bath is working.

Good morning, another bright and sunny one, sat here waiting for the door man, we're having a new front door fitted this morning.

Daughter #3 has a day off work today, she's been camping all weekend and had booked today off to recover (or sober up). She's going to come across and take Mini D out so I can push up some z's.

@dave r thanks matey. Hossy think it's just the heat. She does malfunction in the heat a bit, but this last year the medication has kept her pretty stable. However, yesterday was a scorcher and she didn't feel right all day, and sure enough her legs stopped working during the evening. She's walking again, but she's wobvlier than normal. A few days rest and rehydration and they think she'll be back to normal.

Used the special pensioners 'Boiled Cabbage & Piss' deodorant this morning in preparation for our weekly shop at ALDI and LIDL. I like to fit in.
Cupboards full of bargains now.
Spot of lunch, then off out for a quick hilly ride.

I am trying to perfect that smell, so I can get to the front of queues at the shops.

It works for me!
Have you tried talking to yourself? That works quite well.

Good morning............. well it is for me as I’ve only just managed to do something meaningful for today.

I hate hangovers

My wife has told me I’m cooking tea........... not at all sure I can cope with that.

Wasted day

I see you lot are perfecting your usual theme this time about disgusting smells.

Turned out nice here. I won't wave in case someone complains.

We have a new bright and shiny door, the problem is it makes the rest of the hall stairs and landing look tatty, the sound you can hear is my wallet crying in the corner.

Well that was a sh1t day and tomorrow is no better as I have to stay in for the boiler man 8:30 – 17:30 they use to do morning and afternoon appointments, but now now you have to stay in and just wait.
