The Retirement Thread

Good morning. It's supposed to be 5 deg here...allegedly.

I have risen!

I've got company today as Mini D is at home. She's had a bad reaction to the hand sanitizer they've been making the kids use at school every 3 minutes, and the skin on her hands is angry, cracked and swollen, and she spent hand the night up crying.

Crikey. Taking things a bit too far I see. I suppose they feel they have to do that in case they are sued by some parent for lack of making sure kids do clean their hands. It's a lose lose situation for schools.

Just discovered our club chair will be riding this morning. Good, I will definitely go as after my Safeguarding Course I need his ear. Possibly we have things to put in place

Yay...its Fish Friday!
MrsD is cycling down to the village for a Yoga session at 0930.
I'll be doggie walking first thing, then a bit more caravan fettling before we have a stroll down to the village for lunch.

My sympathy. I get this as well. The sanitiser, excessive moisture when gardening, sweaty hands in winter cycle gloves etc. I have to use a lot of moisturiser or else it becomes VERY uncomfortable.

Don't be sad, don't be blue,
there's still some folk older than you.

I Know a lot of folk older than me, some of them are amazing.

Friday 13th! Anyone superstitious? Can't say I usually bother about it, but have heard of people that will barely go out the door in case something awful happens.

Allo allo, very good.

No but given my recent run of luck on my bike several friends have questioned if I should be out today or not!! 😄

Morning all . Are we all still here?? This virus doesn't worry us old farts one bit.
Does it?
1st case in Warrington yesterday.
Todays news is nothing much.
MrsD is going for a massage type treatment on her back. If its any good then I will try it for my gammy back.
After that I have no idea.

You need to remove that link to your clearskyphotography! I keep clicking it occasionally to see if there's anything there.

I can't say I'm looking forward to the prospect of perhaps catching it, but I'm not unduly worried for myself. I'm worried about Mrs D who has MS, and Mini D who is asthmatic.

It seems to be luck of the draw. Some people get symptoms so mild they barely realise they're I'll, some like a traditional cold, not nice but not debilitating either, and some get utterly poleaxed.

Yes, these are the type of people I am concerned for. If my dad had still been around I would have been worried as he was prone to chesty problems.
