The Retirement Thread

I changed to a different pharmacy as they only allowed one person per time in. If it was raining etc and you were in a queue you got wet.
This pharmacy is bigger and can take 5 or 6 while keeping safe distance.

Ours is quit small. They made extra space by moving the central display shelves.

Good evening all... Looks like I've got about 30 pages to catch up on, still no rush I've got all evening.

Had a good weekend in the Forest of Dean, and a wacky wedding in a castle. Wow, there's some monster hills around there, glad I was in the car. Chapeau to any cyclist who live around that area.

....back to catching up

A good workout at yoga this morning, and a good physio session for my Good Lady, they had her walking up and down the lounge with the aid of a walking frame, the first time I've seen her on her feet for months, so we're making good progress.

That is really good to hear.

Wow. I have just seen that a packet cigarettes will now cost on average £13.60 as of 6 pm tonight Good God. I'm so glad I gave up 10 years ago.

That means the price increased two & half hours ago, making it old news now.

Question:
You go to make a payment by card, but the company now only accept payments in cash. Does anyone else find this odd?

One drag of a fag, over 40 years ago. I nearly set the callagh alight/afire.

*checks the date, looks at his watch* "I'll pop back and settle in on Monday - keep a space for me, and I prefer digestives or fig rolls !"

Monday would make it November.

Nearly time for Shetland.

Like most kids I tried smoking, but so glad I never took it up, although I often wonder how much damage would be done before the smoking ban, both living with mum while she smoked in the house and in the prison. The visit room in particular was so thick with smoke you could barely see through the haze.

Apologies to smokers or former smokers, but I always say I did a lot of stupid and dumb things as a teenager , smoking wasn’t one of them.
No I’m not going to share stories of my teen stupidity.
(edit) I’m off to watch Shetland so good night.
