The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Rain and hail hitting the house like machine gunfire. If this is storm Barra ??????

It seems unfair on a beautiful little remote island to name a pretty filthy storm after it!

I'm dreading storm Mo !

Reminds me of a story about Dubya and Cheney who went for breakfast to a diner. Cheney orders waffles, bacon znd 2 eggs over easy. Dubya tells the waitress he would like a quickie and gets his face slapped. Cheney says "Dubya, how many times do I have to tell you that word is pronounced keesh"?

Ho ho! Hmm, it is a bit of a reminder of this let-the-ground-swallow-me-up moment...

Ha ha - almost as bad as the time that I stood at the front of a queue at an ice cream van and asked the handsome young Italian guy for a '69', resulting in lots of giggling parents behind me with their kids asking what was so funny!

That may need some explanation in the USA?

I meant to say '99'... THIS is what we mean by a '99'! I am now too worried about doing that again to risk trying to order a '99'... These days I ask for an 'ice cream with a flake in it'

We would need a phrase/translation book.

Mrs Tenkaykev has just been " pinged " We've ordered a test apiece using the online ordering process which is a bit like " You have two hours to complete the form, you may turn over the paper and start now " in its convolutedness ( is that a word? )
We think it was when Mrs Tenkaykev was at the Gym on Wednesday, she left her phone in the lockers after her class, and went for a run. We're assuming that someone who later tested positive had left their phone in a locker at the same time.

I got a telephone call the other Saturday evening. Told that my PCR test had come back positive, and I'd to isolate.
Trouble being I'd not done any such test recently. The last one coming back negative.
Turns out the result was for another person with the same name and spelling, who lives nearby.

I can only assume that the lateral flow tests being done, brought up my details. After all how many people with the same name, in the same area? In my case there's another two.

I have just enjoyed a chicken jalfrieze with rice and nan bread.
So I had.....
Melon for breakfast
Pork butty for lunch
Curry for tea
Could it be that I am getting my appetite back ??

That's two that I know about, there may be more. All three of us within a 1/4 mile of each other.
Just think!

I hope you don't do the lottery then.

Watched another 2 episodes of Bosch. One more and that will do for the evening.


Roads and pavements sparkling with frost already so won’t be in a hurry to get up tomorrow.

Could be, but one swallow does not a summer make.

They're "fun" to say the least.
