The Retirement Thread

[pawl]

Good morning folks,
Finally got round to watching the final two episodes of the Canoe man, about the guy and his wife who faked his death for insurance money. Astonishing to watch, I was shaking my head in disbelief at times.
Today we’re popping up the road to Karma, a small Turkish place that has some amazing veggie dishes on its menu.
I’m also celebrating 73 years on Planet Earth, so there’s cake on the agenda 🎂☕️
Have a peaceful day folks ☀️👍

Happ birthday

Mixed day for me.
MrsD had a fall last night as her legs totally 'went'. She was a dead weight and I couldn't lift her so had to phone our daughter and SiL to come and help.
She seems marginally better now and I managed to get her to the loo and we are now sat in the conservatory.
We never signed up for this getting old sh*te.

Take it easy, the pair of you.

Sorry to read that.

You got an address for them?
I can pass it on to those next door to me, they all(kids included) appear to have hearing problems as they shout to/at each other.

Yes, massive margins in hearing aids, you can see how lucrative the market is with Specsavers jumping on the bandwagon. A friend of ours had the Boots " Hearing Specialist " really pushing the most expensive options, I suppose they are expected to meet sales targets / earn commission.
My earpods have an app which includes a hearing test which produces a sonogram, I think I remember reading that the Apple earbuds are particularly accurate.

I'll pass it on, or just send for it under their name.

Quick check on the name, their site is down.

Hi0e MRS D is ok Dave.

We have had rain on and off all morning.

Pork with somethng today. Hell if I know what though

Morning all . Hope everyone is well or at least on the mend today. I am walking a bit like’ spotty dog’ today , I am not used to sailing Wednesday evening and Sundays , I really must stay doing some proper exercises to help my sailing. On the other hand I have been promising myself I would start doing them for the last 20 years and still never started them . 😂😂

Roseland triker , that looks like a bl@@dy good idea for boat moving much better than a caravan mover which is what some sailors use. Think I need to get one for launching and retrieving my dinghy 😂😀

I read somewhere that Monkey Pox is filling the niche left by smallpox once it was eradicated. Nature is a wonderful thing or a shite thing. It always wins. Apparently the monkey pox is just about in every country now. Let's just hope it doesn't mutate into something a lot worse 😢
