The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

The pukey and squirty episode has passed, but I've got godawful stomach pains. I think my stomach muscles took a pounding from all the chundering. Dog is only going to get a short walk this morning, and I'll be hugging a hot water bottle much of the day.

Good morning. Wet and grey here and the forecast says it won't change for 48 hours. ☹

Just watching the end of Arctic which is largely about a man crawling around in the snow. Don't bother.

Later today we are in Manchester to see the solicitor to update wills etc.

I will also be filling my cupboard with everything due to live in there. Exciting times.

Morning people, its a murky old day, but its dry, washings on the line, another loads in the machine, yoga this morning followed by a trip to the optician, my glasses self destructed last night, then its an afternoon of housework.

He survived. Just at the moment when all seemed lost, all his efforts had come to nothing.............a helicopter whirrs in to view.

Why am I surprised?

Morning all you lot. It's the afternoon here and its just cooling down a bit. Probably mid 20's at the moment but it was about 30 earlier.
Looks like we have some battery problems at the moment. Went bush camping over the weekend and the aux battery only lasted about an hour before the low battery warning came up. This means we can't cook (it's a diesel cooker) until we start the engine to charge it up again. Left engine running for an hour then did some cooking and the low battery alarm came on again. Replacement battery is about 450 AUD (about £250). Ouch!
We've got someone running some tests on it tomorrow to see if it's the battery or something else that's gone wrong.

Morning all.

I am now older than a certain Beatles song.
Yes folks, 65 years ago today I came into this world with a bang - literally!
My Mum went into labour during the family's bonfire night fireworks display.
Off to get my bus pass later.

Morning gang .
Its still cr*p weather here.
Can I have another moan? Please let me?
I got up at 0700 and my back has gone worse........better than it was 2 weeks but worse than yesterday. Its like my legs dont want to do what my brain is telling them.
I am going to try one of those Deep Heat stick on pads......the ones that actually heat up when activated. If that doesnt work I will go to the physio......he aint cheap but if it works!!
Have a good day everyone.
