The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning folks. Had a lovely meal at our friends house last night. He's a very good cook and has attended several cookery schools.
I took a bottle of English sparkling wine as well as a decent red and there was quite a lot of wine drunk over the course of the evening. We're having a quiet day today, no parkrun and just a gentle stroll to the van lady to get a few things.
Have a peaceful day folks.

Say hi to Maggie for me.

Sorry to hear that.Before I retired it was a situation that I was involved in .You may have already thought about this but can you persuade your aunt to have a look round a residential home..Must be a very difficult time for you.

About 3 years ago I took her around several care homes. She chose one .....everything went through but at the last moment she changed her mind. This happened twice more. At that point I gave up

One of my twin grandsons is in Cardiff today. He is going to watch Wales V Argentina. Should be a good game.

Sorry to hear that Dave7.Must make life very difficult for you.It’s always at the back of your mind.
I found a place for my brother He was ready to move in but unfortunately he died just before he was ready to move in ,Initially he was reluctant to move in but after spending the day there he changed his mind I went to pick him up in the evening he wanted to stay.He told me why initially he was reluctant to move because he would have to sell his flat and that was my inheritance.He burst into tears when I told him to give me permission to put the flat on the market to fund the placement. The above events unfortunately beat me to it
Hope the situation gets resolved for you.

That's my telly for tonight as there's nothing else on. There's a Broken Wood mysteries on the Drama channel at 6.

We have yet another start here so full waterproofs were required for my walk. Hardly anyone else on the trail which wasn't surprising given it was so miserable.

Porridge finished so a nice big hot mug of Barleycup now.

We’re up to date with Broken Wood There May May be a new series next year Hope they bring back Father Brown

If he was killed in the last series, how are they going to "bring him back"?
That could be the series storyline there.

All, at the moment, they're for when the family visit tomorrow.
