The Retirement Thread

I've been shopping
Had another visitor last night, took the bait, but never got caught, so now we have a “smart” mouse

**Hovis seeded....very nice.

That last bit a clue as to what you make?

God no.

Nooky ?

Crikey - that could almost be a thread in itself. What do you call 'it'

A flashback?

Rumpy Pumpy.

It would probably end up too rude for CC.

Perhaps we should be subversive and see if we could get away with it in this thread? 😜

I call "it" a distant memory

We now has hail here and very very dark skies.

[I will be very surprised if this is Covid rather than a cold!]

Not every malady is Omicron!

But some are...!

Let's hope the vaccines do their thing!

 

[welsh dragon]

We had hail, then thunder and lightning

What is that piece of kit?

It is one of those lateral flow tests that you have been avoiding!

'S' is where you put 4 drops of sample. (A swab rubbed round inside your nostrils is soaked in a liquid to produce that.)

'C' is a control indicator. If that doesn't go red, the test is invalid. It shows that the sample has successfully made its way up past the test line, 'T'.

If both 'C' and 'T' show red lines, that is a valid positive test result.

Really? Thank you. I've never seen one, let alone used one.
And I'm still alive!

I'm still alive too. If/when that changes maybe someone else will pop on to let you lot know!

Just arriving at Newcastle and there’s sleet falling.
I’ve already eaten the sandwich I was going to have for lunch. The Zumo train we’re on has “ Customer Service Ambassadors “ instead of train guards 🤔

The train drivers on the Lumo services are called customer drivers.

And me, but great fun whilst it lasted.
