The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Yesterday, I thought of something I had to do that was very important. I got up off the sofa, walked across the living room and thought I had better wind the clock up as I was passing, because it was slow on the chime. After I had done that, I stood around like a complete eejit as I had forgottten what I had originally got up for.
I remembered what it was about half an hour later; I needed to glue the rubber bit back into the stylus I use on my tablet.

Never mind. I'm sure the years will fly by.
I've just got back from a very pleasant and sunny ride around the North Devon coast. Woolacombe was exceptionally pleasant this morning.
Worked up a bit of a thirst, so off down to my village local to rehydrate.
Will think of you.

If I make it that far - I keep trying to get myself killed on the bike.

Back from a short bimble. 12 miles only but got a spurt on. Looked like it was going to rain, and it was dark and a tad windy in places but it blew the cobwebs away. The weekend here is supposed to be horrible so I took a chance today.

Good morning all. Another bright but chilly day, a shopping and chores day thats started with a senior moment, earlier i opened my web browser to search for something and couldn't remember what it was.

Lol...............so glad it's not just me. Several times I have opened up Google and then realised I've forgotten what it was I was going to check!

Next time, use your
Internal Google.

You've the "coffin dodger" part wrong!

The fear of premature burial, the "deceased" being in a coma for instance, not actually dead, led to many devices being patented to allow the "deceased" to alert those above ground to their plight.

One of the most simple of these was a cord attached to the persons finger. The cord leading to a bell on the surface, which would ring when the cord was pulled. The "deceased" became the dead ringer whilst the person watching for any activity would be working the graveyard shift. Their job was to get the "deceased" coffin dodger, for whom the bell tolled, to the surface, having been saved by the bell, and to a physician.
