The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Good morning all.
Wordle in 4 again this morning.
It's going to be a bit of a cloudy day today, but dry. So I will be able do a few things around the garden. My compost bins are full but there is plenty of well rotted stuff in there, so I will dig some of that out. I cut the grass yesterday.
Looks a nice day for a long dog walk. Maybe with a stop at the Mitre on the way back.
By the way, it's my birthday today, 64. I know I'm a pup compared to some here, but I'm getting there.
Enjoy your day everyone

Not too many on your way home.

Is there a world banana shortage ?
Just been to Aldi and shelves were bare.....not one nana to be seen .

Just had a phone call to say the district nurse is on her way. She will be taking bloods in an effort to find out what has gone so drastically wrong.
In 2 years I have gone from a fit, active cyclist to someone who can hardly walk some days......been maybe 8 weeks since I got out for a walk.
I am certain its Long Covid and the hospital specialist agreed although they can't prove it.
Hey Ho.

Just had our bloods taken. The nurse struggled with MrsDs as she is so dehydrated.
No problem with mine but stung quite a bit........but I didn't cry.

Did you get a sticker saying you'd been a brave boy though?

I might need one of those in a couple of weeks, the dentist has been looking at the tooth where the filling fell out a couple of weeks ago, the filling was about ten years old and the tooth had been rotting under the filling, so I've got to go back in a couple of weeks and have the temporary filling removed and the rot drilled out then a new filling, he wants to save the tooth as its a front one, I'd rather he just pulled it out..

You know what......I didn't. TBH I was in soooo much pain I forgot to ask for one

@Dave7 Couldn't see any nanas in ALDI but LIDL seemed to be well reasonably stocked with them.

I've got a feeling that ALDI might be having some supply line problems. There seemed to be a fair number of empty shelves. Probably Putin's fault, or Covid, or Brexit, or.........
