The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Morning all, a good night at White Hart lane yesterday evening. A bit nailbiting at the end though. Typically a Spurs finish. Always keeping the crowd on their toes.
It was very misty first thing, but is clearing now. Dog walk done, and am now outside a cafe waiting for the full English.

Had a doctor's appointment at 9am, blood pressure is still a bit high, so she is sending me for full blood tests and an ECG. this obviously won't help.
Enjoy your day everyone

Not since some poncey celebrity chef bigged it up, no doubt.

The Co-op supermarket is now there.

Just having a coffee and catch up with the world. This popped up on FB and I immediately thought of you lot! Not sure why. Trust all is well.

We had a pleasant lunch in Cassilax in Roland avenue and an enjoyable afternoon down the club, and I won at bingo, the princely sum of two pound fifty , I shared a line. Going home the first bus at the stop already had a wheelchair user in its wheelchair space so we had to wait, not long, for the next bus, so it worked out an enjoyable day.

From my Facebook page this afternoon, the oldies are the best.

The man sat at the bar looking morosely into his pint of beer.

No matter how hard he tried to ignore it, a little voice inside his head kept on and on at him “How could you Bob, how could you sleep with one of your patients!”

Time went by, and a few more pints disappeared down his throat until he began to feel a little better – even the voice inside his head began to mellow.

“OK Bob, I suppose you’re not the first person to sleep with one of their patients and no matter what they say, you’re still the best vet in the district.”

Wrong type of line.

I think I’ll catch up on last night’s Doc Martin before All Creatures Great and Small.

You're a fan of medically themed programs then?

'Morning all.
I've managed to be the first in today.
It's still dark outside. The cats have been fed, and they have gone out to do cat things. The dog has been out and also been fed.
My first mug of tea is finished and I need another.
I have an appointment for the blood vampires at Barnet hospital this afternoon. The doctors receptionist made an appointment for an ECG for next week, and I have a pot for an early morning pee sample. This is all because my blood pressure is a bit high.
I fear I'm going to end up on medication
Our son has moved back in, temporarily, as his flat sale goes through today. Most of his stuff is in storage.
Another busy day in paradise beckons.
