The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Going to have to shop today. Seem to have run out of nearly everything again which is a pain as I just walk round and can’t carry all that much. It’s not worth defrosting the car and starting it up for a 2 minute trip.

On the other hand, it isn't any good not using your car for a long time. Take it today and do a 10 mile trip, it will keep your battery charged up.

Good morning all. Up already and taking our daughter to Exeter hospital shortly to see the consultant for a review on the op she had two weeks ago and what to do next. Should be back around 2 pm.

Hope all goes well. Sounds similar to my sister in law. Lump removed and some radiotherapy and seems to be doing well and no more problems.

And they have the cheek to preach to us.

I think it’s the same as politicians . We make the rules we don’t have to abide by them ourselves.

One thing I learned many years ago.....people will bend/twist rules to suit themselves.

@gavroche I hope all goes well......experience says it will.
@Mo1959 ....MrsD says you are not a real person, just a figment of my imagination.

Misty and very cold here. I hoped yesterdays rain would melt the snow but it has just frozen.
Bedding change day .....i really hate doing that.
I tried to watch that Pink Panther film last night. Either I really have turned into a miserable old git or it was never that funny.... turned it off half way through.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
A nice, bright, frosty start to the day here.
All the usual dog walking and virus dodging to be done.

One of my old work colleagues has just called to say he has gone down with the virus and is feeling awful.

Stay safe everyone

Nope.Pretty sure I am real!

I don’t find a lot of “comedy” funny. I remember people raving about Monty Python and tried watching it but didn’t even crack a smile so obviously what we find amusing is down to the individual.

Yes, it is surprising how "humour" has changed IMHO. Perhaps, we were all much more innocent, all of those years ago

I could never see anything funny in M Python. My mates raved about it but it did zilch for me.

True this.
The 1st Panther film, at the cinema.....I was literally laughing so much I fell off my seat and was on the floor, helpless.

I agree. Never found them funny at all.
