The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

I’m going to watch Judge John Deed. I’ll catch up on Madame Blanc.

Down to freezing here already. Hopefully another nice day tomorrow.

2 deg here. It was lovely here today. Lots of sun

Good day. Everyone having a lay in this morning? It's dark so I've no idea what the weather is offering, haven't checked the forecast as nothing I need to do is impacted by weather - other than my walk. Got an IT training session this morning with our u3a. I'm sure nothing will be new but it's always useful to have a refresher plus the organiser is a good friend and I like to support him by showing interest. Also means while he's away in Australia for 3-4 months someone else knows what to do in a crisis!

The rest? Well, pick up meds, quick Aldi dash and bob into Specsavers. I bought my first pair of glasses from them this week. Very impressed with the service, staff, etc. The offer includes a 50% discount on a second pair ordered within six months, as I always get two pairs I need to drop by to order these. Tonight is Quiz night and I have to do the one hour bar shift before the actual quizzing begins, I'm in a team.........poor buggers.

Morning. Minus 3 at the moment. Hopefully another decent day though. The paths are finally all drying up a bit so much better for walking.

Morning gang.
At 0630 it was pitch black and 2°.

And I still have no smilies. They appeared for a short while yesterday but have gone.
Hang about......they have just reappeared😃

Good morning folks, carers been, she's lovely but a bit too bright and cheerful first thing, the new care provider starts Monday so a new journey begins, I can't say I'll miss Universal Care, though the carers have mostly been good.

Nothing planned so i will probably just potter in my workroom today.

Stay safe peeps

Morning all

Yay! Fish Friday again.
Will be taking the omnibus into town to see what culinary delights are on offer.
Still no news from our Estate Agent. It's so frustrating!

I think its fish Saturday for us tomorrow.

Our cleaner starts back today😃. She left to have a baby but wants to start back.
Our daughter has been good but her work hours have just increased so its good timing

I have to go to the post office in a short while to
A. Send for my new driving licence (registered letter)
B. Tax my car.


Life is so exciting 😶

Our daughter took possession of the keys to her new house yesterday. She’s a little disappointed that the sellers just made a cursory clean up of the property. As it’s only a couple of streets away from where she is at the moment she can move in gradually, as her current rental goes to the end of February.

Good morning all.
I have an appointment at the dentist this morning. Three weeks back I had toothache, saw the dentist and it was infected. Antibiotics cleared that up before I went away.
X ray showed the nerve is dying , so some canal root treatment to remove the root today.
Other than that, our daughter is calling in for tea tonight, so I will be cooking a chicken and sweetcorn pie with veg and mashed potatoes. It will be sweetcorn instead of mushrooms, as she hates mushrooms. 😪
Enjoy your day everyone.

Press the return key on your onscreen keyboard, switches between text and smilies.

Just been to tax my car only to be told the MOT has run out 🙁

This came up on my memories from three years ago, I like it that he was chased and caught by a copper on a push bike.

"This week in 1896 driver Walter Arnold received Britain's first speeding ticket. He had been caught in a Motor Carriage like this going four times the speed limit - at 8 mph. He was chased and pulled over by a policeman on a bicycle."
