The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Enjoyed Happy Valley again.

I do struggle with some characters and following bits but generally it is good.

I’ve just watched Mrs Caldicot’s Cabbage Wars. Thanks for mentioning it @PaulSB Enjoyed it. Although it was amusing, it is sadly true how the elderly are viewed and treated. Makes me angry. Everything is geared around young people now. I was just reading a local news story about a lady my age with asthma who had been in hospital a couple of times for chest infections, and they had stuck a DNR notice on her records without asking her or her family. Bloody scandalous. Life is precious whether you are 8 or 80.

A great film Mo where the oldies come out on top!

On a lighter note there is an Australian film called Dalkeith where the residents in an age care facility adopt a racing greyhound.

I do not approve of Greyhound racing and we have adopted a retired Grey but it is a great film if you can find it on the net.

Just hope you don't get to know her.
Anyone that does seems to end up dead, sooner rather than later.

Morning all

Off out shopping this morning.
Today is my State sponsored beer voucher day.
MrsD gets hers on Friday.

Good morning. 2-3⁰C. No wind. Sky clear.

Right now I have to find my wallet. Last seen at Ewood Park when I was buying tickets for next Saturday's game. Catch you later.

 

[Paulus]

Good morning all.
It's a little cooler here this morning, only 18⁰c.
Just getting ready for breakfast and then another lazy day around the pool swimming, taking part in the aquarobics, archery, and crazy golf.
It's a tough life.
But, we are back to the cold and dark tomorrow evening.
Enjoy your day everyone.

I have my washing hanging outside now. No idea if it will dry though. Still really cold at the moment. Hopefully it will warm up a bit later.

Morning all.
1st.....a question on Happy Valley.
At the very beginning she had a bloody face.
How/when did that happen?

 

[Dave7]

I woke at 0400 with a bad headache......can't recall last serious headache I had. I felt sick with it... ..had to get up for some tablets.
Then slept till 0810.
Feel fine now.

MrsD's just forced me to order a case of Plum Porter from the Titanic Brewery.
I tried to resist..........honest!

Have you forewarned your local power station?, we don’t want the whole of Wales plunged into darkness.
