The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

My god. We are on a roll now. We have reached 1 deg here.

Frost seems to be off the roofs now so must have risen slightly.

I have just ordered dog toys for the cat. See if she can chew through them in an hour!

A good physio session this morning, they got my Good lady out to the car, but unfortunately she couldn't climb inside, but its progress, they'll try again next time, she needs to relearn how to transfer from wheelchair to car and its going to take a little time to learn, it seems a little strange someone having to learn to do something that most of us take for granted.

I understand. MrsD can manage that with my help but its a struggle. Ahh 'twas only 18 months ago she was doing regular 3-5 mile walks.
Life, as they say, is a bitch.

You are going to give her psychological problems.

Back from the dentist.
She "reviewed the situation" and told me they are just lost fillings so she could re-fill them without drilling etc. If they don't work then its back to scratch.

True, life can be a bitch, unfortunately these problems can be part of growing older.

I have always said "I refuse to get old".
Sadly my body did not listen.

MR WD has morphed into his second childhood mentally. However his body says otherwise.

I'd go back to the dentist, unless "scratch" is a nickname for yours.

Poached eggs went wrong. Kitchen now looks like the Hindenburg has crashed here.

Oh, the humanity!

Yes, our bodies age and deteriorate but we're the same person inside that we've always been, well we are provided dementia don't take hold, so I recon a lot of these elderly people we see are seriously p***** of because they can't do the stuff they used to do.

I once had a jacket potato explode in the oven while it was cooking, I couldn't believe the mess it made, it took ages to clean the oven up afterwards.

Did you not "stab it with your steely knife" before nuking it ?

I was poaching them floating in the saucepan. Im a master, and normally turn out a neat and tidy egg. However, while my back was turned the Hindenburg clearly crashed intonthe saucepan and caused eggy water to spill out and dry upon every surface it touched.
