The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

Good morning folks, Carers were early this morning, ringing the doorbell at six, We were both still asleep, which is unusual. , our regular carer is on holiday and now they've decided our carers need to be double crewed, they phoned me yesterday saying my Good Lady is getting to much for one, so two of them in this morning.

Good morning all.
A bit gloomy outside.
After along walk with the dog I have an appointment with the optician for a two yearly eye test at 10.30.
Then meeting with the escape committee, our member from Western Australia is back. He managed to to get out of Aus for his son's wedding a few weeks back. He has been a bit cautious about going out and about before the wedding incase he went down with the dreaded virus. But now the wedding is done and dusted we can now meet up in person.

Stay safe everyone

Good morning all retirees .
We are going to a large farm shop this morning.
1. Its called The Hollies.
2. Its on the south side of Warrington so is
a pain to get to.
3. Its stupidly expensive
On the plus side.......
1. It stocks the French bread flour as
recommended by Mr NumbNuts.
2. Its a trip out for MrsD as it is wheelchair
friendly .

Morning to all you reprebates. Dull and indeed yucky here again. Oh well, the summer was nice while we had it.

Bin day today. Let's hope they actually empty the bins today as they didn't last week. It's a bit like a lottery here where the bin men (can i still say bin MEN) are concerned

Stay safe peeps.

Morning all

Yodel attempted to deliver a parcel 3 times whilst we were away, and now I've got to make a 40 mile round trip to their depot to pick it up!

Made it round my walk dry but the drizzly stuff has come on now. Weetabix finished so time for a cuppa. The first of many I think. New headphones are coming by mail rather than Amazon's delivery van so they will be here soon and I can have a play with all the settings and keep myself amused for a while.

I will. I bet you can't wait to hear

 

[Mo1959]

I will. I bet you can't wait to hear

We could run a sweep to see who guesses the closest to what time they will appear. I will have 11.20

I'm all a quiver, I'll go for 10:52. What's the prize, a pair of Welshie's old bloomers?

 

[welsh dragon]

You are all wrong. Breaking news just in from our intrepid reporter. The bins were emptied at 9.05 am. Woohooo

Couldn’t work up any enthusiasm for cycling until Mrs p was discharged from hospital.She is improving daily I do have to keep her in check a s she sometimes forgets she has to build up her activities slowly over a sis week period

She’s having the staples removed on Monday She has that many down the centre of her body it looks like a goth fashion statement
