The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

The last series of Baptiste on BBC1 as well.
I will record Prof.T. and see how it goes.

I didn’t actually watch the last series of Baptiste so might be as well to watch Professor T and try and catch up on Baptiste from the last series first before watching this one, although I’m not sure the storyline follows on? Not sure.

Morning. I fancy an early walk rather than cycle this morning for a change. Got to keep the old bone density up too Haven’t walked much the last couple of weeks between cycling and watching tennis and cycling on tv. Soon be the Olympics to look forward to but presumably the time difference will mean it’s mostly on at weird times?

I have risen!

G'day cobbers.
Another warm one.
After yesterdays exertions I slept well last night.
BBQ for us today. Daughter, SiL and granddaughter arriving at 1300.
I am nipping to Lidl (their barms/baps are much nicer than Aldi's).........then an excellent butcher for bacon** and sausages.
**bacon is not for the bbq .

Thanks, Classic. Not much to say and frankly been a little down after our Friday Dr visit. Tomorrow another pleural tap for Mrs 12 and then, as sure as insurance approval has been received, another kind of chemo will commence, the last one having proven noneffective.
Sorry about the kvetching....
Be well and safe.

There doesn't seem to be a follow on in the storyline though flashbacks show us things which have happened in Baptiste's life in the intervening years.

Very good last night.

MrsD is inundated with letters and phone calls from the NHS..... all trying to accept a treatment that we had never heard of.
Mr Google tells us that........
A) it will likely result it jaw and teeth problems plus
B) she cannot visit a dentist for 3 years.

She tells them "no thank you".
They say "it will help prevent the cancer spreading".
She says "I have had my boob removed. The surgeon told me MY BODY IS CLEAR OF CANCER".
They say "but you may get it in the future"
She says "look, I am 72 years old. If it comes back in 20 years I really couldn't give a shi*t".
BUT
They insist she speaks to the specialist again before deciding

Good Morning. I predict today will be hot.

@12boy and Mrs 12boy. Good luck. Our thoughts are with you.

Today? The allotment is delivering it's bounty which means harvesting is ongoing. Over the last 7/10 days I've harvested and stored or frozen broccoli, shallots, blackcurrants, Cavolo Nero (fancy black Italian kale). We are eating all of above plus potatoes, lettuce, spring onions, parsley and basil. Courgettes and beans ready this week and perhaps redcurrants and garlic.

Heading out for a ride at 09.45. a quick 40 miler. Yesterday's first ride in three weeks was good. Chest was 100%, I held the pace and my quads have recovered - they were shredded last night. Completely burnt toast.

Hmmmmm. 🤔 today's new word "kvetching." I like this one but @12boy it's far from accurate to describe you.

Good morning folks.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Good morning all, another warm day, in fact week, in prospect.
A trip to the supermarket this morning, perhaps a potter this afternoon.
