The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good morning. Wet and windy. Been awake since 4.00 but got some chores done. Housework next then bib to the supermarket to get the jelly ingredients I forgot yesterday. Make a jelly then afternoon nap till the village carol service at 5.00.

The carols are a new thing this year. We all meet in the village square, sing carols, walk round the village doing the same and finish at the sports club for "sherry." 🙂

Mornin'.
Off out for a walk this morning, then in to Boscastle for a mooch and lunch.
Weather looks a bit crap today, so we'll hunker down in the van later.
Toilet cassette to empty and water roll to fill before we go out.

It looks like my charging tower has handed its notice in with immediate effect , I was having problems with a low phone battery yesterday, put it on charge overnight and it didn't, its now charging happily in the kitchen, it wouldn't charge the tablet either, the tablet is now charging happily on the socket in the back of the lounge.

Back from the expedition to Gobowen. No traffic on the way there but on the way back the traffic going into Wrexham from Chester was mad.

Was told that we had to go to the BIG M&S near Ellesmere Port to buy new slippers for my forthcoming visit to hospital. Does everyone have to have new slippers if they are going into hospital?

That depends. How big are the holes at the big toes ?

Now that is top of my list of reasons we sold our tourer. As I/we got older our wish for comfort got greater

Good morning all fellow wrinklies.
I woke this morning actually thinking of food which must be a good sign. Still coughing then I break out sweating after each coughing fit.
Mrs D is still in bed feeling sorry for herself. Us men just get on with it dont we
We were supposed to go to our daughters for christmas lunch but I have warned her that is looking unlikely.
Quiet day today. I may even resort to watching some cr*p on tv and I really dont do daytime tv.

Morning all, a terrible nights sleep was had. Woke up at 1am, outback to sleep and woke again at 4.30.
It was nice and sunny earlier when I was out with the dog, but now the rain has started .

Bit extreme, travelling to Australia for sleep.

Blowing a hoolie here. I have practically had to nail my washing on the line to stop it from blowing away. I might have to run out and get it in very quickly if it starts to rain which is highly likely.

I've still got the leaflet for that, somewhere.

It was all doom and gloom then and the end of the world was nigh as well as now. Sod all happened. Shades of De Ja Vu methinks.
