The Retirement Thread

I need a decent printer for printing patterns. And Mr WD needs one to do his carvings and pictures. So probably an inkjet colour printer.

In the urology department

I've been given several routine appointments at unusual hours over the last two years. I feel every effort is being made, positives don't make headlines though.

Back now, men of a certain age will be aware of the prostate checking examination! Sending me for a PSA blood test tomorrow.

Had a biopsy about six years ago and all was clear, I suppose they are just covering their "ar-e" if you will pardon the pun!

I now have a tray of Sweet Peas on the kitchen windowsill waiting for mother nature to do her magic.

Just back from a wander before it gets any busier. The ignorant nobbers are already appearing that string themselves across paths and pavements leaving you no room to get by. Not going back out again unless it's a short leg stretch in the evening.

I'm having coq au vin or chicken with cheap red plonk for dinner...I'll save the mouse for Monday.........
I have given my kitchen a good clean and even took off the plinth boards on the units ....I found a few droppings, this could have been going on for some time without me knowing .
I think I have an idea where they are coming in so will see what happens when the housing association get back to me.

Don't hold your breath

Exactly, I think there may just be change in the rules coming

 

[BoldonLad]

Did she need new shoes though, that is the question.

Need? What has that got to do with it, as Mrs @BoldonLad often tells me, it is "want" which is the operative work, not "need"

Family 'do' today.
Nephew was up for his first Holy Communion
Not being Catholic I just did the stading up, sitting down and kneeling bits

I did find that the mask wearing thing has the advantage that you don;t have to pretend to sing etc - although I think my wife noticed

However, a question
Does anyone else find the idea of 8 year old girls wearing what is, in effect, a wedding dress - rather weird??

I am a total non-believer, married to a practicing Catholic, and, all of the in-laws are practicing Catholics. Like you, I have perfected the standing, sitting kneeling bits, for family occasions (christening, marriages, funerals). I find it all, totally weird, but, each to their own.

What'll you be drinking when you have the mouse?

 

[BoldonLad]

If you think that is weird then don't go to the shrine at Fatima in Portugal.
Mind boggling. Too much to describe: you have to see it for yourself.

I would second that! Never seen anything like it.

Up early to fill my bladder!!

Have a urology appointment at 9.15 which states "make sure your bladder is full"

I know full well I will be desperate to empty it even before the appointment!!

The NHS must be pulling out all the stops to catch up with stuff if they are sub letting work to private companies on a Sunday.

That is the best excuse for having a couple of pints, before 10:00am, I have heard in a while!

On a more serious note, hope it all goes well.

Get a cat 🐱

What do they taste like

 

[Paulus]

What do they taste like

A bit like chicken. So I'm told

Knowing my luck I'd get a cat that would play with it's dinner
