The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Good morning all.
A couple of sad but staggering things to share with you, if I may
1. The ambulance came and they took the aunty to hospital.
At this point its important to remember that she is 95** AND weighs less than 7 stone.
2. She has a broken hip !!!!
More staggering she broke it 6 weeks ago but battled on with paracetamol as......she didn't want to bother people.

The doctor is trying to decide whether to operate or not.
**we asked the question but were politely told......no visiting. So aged 95, probably scared, she is alone in hospital. Very sad.
I will bore keep you informed as I find out anything.

A clear sky here. A little early rain forecast then sunshine is promised.
@PaulSB any chance we can have our Harvey Elliot back ??
2 games for you and equal top player ratings PLUS a other goal

Hope all goes well @Dave7

No!!!! After he's made his PL debut next season.

Friend of mine is a diehard Coventry fan - he'll be glad we're not riding together today.

@Dave7 my best wishes for this to go well, and its all sorted quickly. This no visiting isn't good for anybody, drove me nuts when my Good lady had a fall recently and was in hospital.

Enjoying my breakfast now. Was out really early and managed to do a half marathon extremely slowly. Bit of rain and lots of puddles but nice quiet roads until the odd vehicle the last couple of miles.

Cold windy day with light rain promised.
Our ferry service is a bit chaotic as yesterday our main ferry broke down as well as some weather problems. Now another has broken down somewhere else and ours is going off to cover so a large part of Monday with no Oban ferry. The small Lochaline ferry had to do a shuttle service on Saturday to cope and Corran ferry had to run 2 boats. This is all very well if you are heading south but going to Oban is an 80 mile trip that way as opposed to 21 to Craignure. Never heard of such numbers in the past at this time of year.
Does not appear to deter the escapees from the covid hotspots { or so I suspect}.
The holiday home opposite me had tenants obviously leaving about midday on Saturday and by about 6 o'clock the next lot had moved in. Deep cleaning anyone? As this house is built slightly below my level and directly opposite I cannot help but see what is going on.

Oh dear. Elderly people often don't want to make a fuss so say nothing.

Another thing that’s worrying about the current situation. How many more out there are doing the same!

MrsD who is always interested in your exploits says she is disappointed in you......extremely slow indeed

Don’t rub it in. The back and sciatic issues the last ten years have increased my time for a half to nearly 40 minutes slower!

 

[screenman]

Nearly lunchtime, at least that is what it feels like here.

I must warn you......MrsD does NOT accept excuses

Except on here ......
