The Retirement Thread

They're "fun" to say the least.

Oh tell me about it. I've done one every other day for 12 days and two PCRs.

Been doing lateral flow tests since mid April. Twice a week mostly, but sometimes every day.

ColinJ l would imagine 69 means the same here as there. It refers to having either a great golf game or lousy bowling, right?
I thought the cow vending should actually have a stool, a bucket and Bossy but then I realized a cow couldn't make change since they have no thumbs.

Errrrr......no!! 😄

And it's not a Bryan Adams song either. 😄

I have risen! First!

Weather seems quite bizarre in Poshshire. Windy, yet icy.

Good morning folks,
What a day ahead! Black bin, Veg box, “ walking for health “ meander, plus we’re having smart meters fitted. I hoovered out the external Gas meter cupboard yesterday and cleaned it inside and out with PVC cleaner followed by some polish 😁

Your brother the bingo caller again!

My Brother In Law wasn't out last night, his Good Lady isn't well, reaction to the booster jab.

Good morning folks.

Ok, left arm still has a bit of a twinge so no workout today. No point turning a minor twang into something nasty.

Good morning. Calm and cold, the lull before the storm though last night I thought it had arrived early.

Mrs P has a terrible cold. It's granddaughter day so I'll be shouldering the burden all day.

The gasman cometh to my house as well. Boiler service. We had smart meters fitted in August. They have never worked and I still have to take a manual monthly reading. Took the gas reading on Sunday and entered it on the British Gas website only to get an error message saying the reading was too high. The bizarre thing is my last reading was 08671 and Sunday's was 04475. I didn't submit the reading.

I plan to ask the boiler service engineer how to read the meter. Overall my experience is smart meters have been an enormous investment which has been utterly wasteful. Why reinvent the wheel?

Good morning all, cold here. Sleet and wet snow forecast for this afternoon.

Morning. No storm yet I am glad to report but supposed to get bad later. Better hang onto my bloomers to stop them from blowing away and taking me with them.

Stay safe peeps

Morning. I managed a long lie. I ain’t venturing out as it’s all shiny and sparkly out there!

Never done one yet....I doubt I could stick it down my throat without up chucking

Me neither, and hopefully won’t ever have to.
