The Retirement Thread

Thank you for your kind wishes...
The outcome of the Cat Scan was no change, but the breathing/fatigue issue is worse so there will be an echocardiogram to assess heart issues and a steroid nebulizer to open up alveoli. Also a delay of at least 10 days to resume chemo which otherwise was today. Oxygen in this case is like heroin....it requires ever larger doses to work. When you get to a certain point you are hospitalized preparatory to being hospiced. Not the best news but not the worst.
Spaniel ears... now that is a little harsh.
Be well and safe and suck the juice out of every day.....

I have risen! 1st!

Frosty and icy out. The weather dudes were saying fog, but no sign of it.

Morning. Bit of a long lie. Thank goodness the frost has gone and we have a balmy 8 degrees.

Off for a wander after coffee and a browse. Might jog a bit if the legs feel ok.

Good morning from a cold and frosty Coventry, yoga later and perhaps out for lunch.

Good morning all, an even balmier 9° here.

good morning folks,
A good meet up with friends yesterday, Halloumi and chips with mushy peas for me, a “Buddha bowl” for Mrs Tenkaykev, washed down with a couple of pints of brewed on the premises, Telemark IPA ( the harbour scenes in the film “ The Heroes of Telemark “ were shot in Poole Harbour )
A lazy day planned for today,
Stay safe folks ☕️👍

I learned years ago that the secret is........just refuse to get old and that is what I did.
Pity my bl**dy body didn't do the same.
Best wishes to you both.

Good morning, world.

A bright 5 degrees down here on Planet Thanet. It would be ideal for a bike ride or a little walk, if it were not for being day 2 of my COVID incarceration.

So, I will mainly be doing a jigsaw puzzle.......

Keep safe and warm, everyone.

Morning all

Off to my solicitors this morning to sign the final drafts of our wills.
Will feel more comfortable once that's done.
Lunching in the White Lion on the way back.
