The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

A quick hello.
Slept in today. Normally like to get up by 06.30 but didn't wake till 07.30....... absolutely knackered.
Did the Aldi dash at 0900 and it was pleasantly quiet.
A note of caution for any youngsters lurking on here!!!!
30 years ago we thought it was a good idea to plant 20+ conifers along the side garden fence. DON'T DO IT . Worse decision ever.
We have someone giving them a haircut. An expensive mistake

Back in the 80s we got our first automatic washing machine. The first time it was used all 4 of us got the dining room chairs out and sat watching it do its magic

Highlight of the day? Just back from the doctor’s surgery after having my first ever flu jab.

I was offered a pneumonia vaccine jab as well. Anyone had this? Is it a one off jab?

Nice walk around the Merrivale Bronze Age settlement, stone circles and stone rows. All around 5000 years old - so eligible for this thread.

Carried on to the 13th century Postbridge Clapper bridge. Famous for the ghost story - 'The Hairy Hands'.

Settled in the pub now waiting for the pies to arrive.

Never had a flu jab. Can't decide if its worth it as there are so many strains.
We take a herbal flu tab........one per week October till March. Don't know how effective they are but so far we are (i think) still alive

My dad always swore that he felt he had almost permanent mild cold symptoms ever since getting the flu jab for the first time. He still went for it though.
I’m not an anti-vaxxer, but still don’t totally agree with getting jabs for everything going.
