The Retirement Thread

[pawl]

Despite my best efforts, the front garden is a bit sad looking. The sun has cooked quite a few of the plants.

Dear patients,
We are now down to very limited patient service co-ordinators due to covid, meaning we are now having to ask Admin and Secretaries to help out on the telephones and front desk.
Knightwood Surgery has had to close to patients for general queries (except those seeing external clinics and apts already booked) due to no reception staff being able to man the desk or answer the phone there.
Please can we request that you only contact Reception if it is URGENT and cannot wait. Dealing with non-urgent requests may take longer than usual.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
We thank you for your understanding and patience
North Baddesley Surgery

Normal service will begin when the good weather is over

I've been using a watering can and a rainwater butt, the butt is empty now so my plants are having to make do with tap water.

Solicitors asking for my bank details as they are hoping to complete the sale of my dad's house tomorrow. At long last!
With a bit of luck I'll be £150k better off this time tomorrow night.

We are lucky that we have 4 1000 litre tanks that are full. We are using the water in them to water the plants.

Yeah you are very lucky, but you have the rain to fill them up

True. May as well make some use of the bloody stuff

Rain. It's rained all bloody night. At least this is soft summer rain which the ground can easily absorb.

Morning. Seems cloudier and cooler this morning thank goodness. I’ll hopefully find it more pleasant for my walk soon.

Looking forward to the cycling again this afternoon.

Good morning from a cool and cloudy Coventry, back in long trousers today,I've got to finish yesterdays cleaning job this morning, I spent yesterday afternoon cleaning the parts of the house that don't get cleaned very often, then we're out to lunch and down the club for the afternoon.

 

[welsh dragon]

Coooeee. A bright sunny day for us with blue skies.

It's bin day. That's as exciting as it gets.

Stay safe peeps

Hello! Cool and wet so I've been round and shut all the windows. I'm a bit pissed off with this weather, one minute it's too hot to move and the next it looks like our drive 'n' ride trip tomorrow will get cancelled! Plus my onions and shallots are spread out on the allotment drying in the sun.................or they were.

So I'm poised. Logged in to Ticketmaster on three devices, credit cards at the ready, checking the tabs every few minutes to see when the online queue opens, phone alarm set for 8.45am............I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it, like it, yes I do.

Morning all.
Off to meet our friends in Standon this morning for a walk along the river Rib.
There is a nice pub along the river which will be our lunch stop
