The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

We're in London en route back to Poole. We've booked lunch at the Eagle as it's in walking distance, has a few decent beers on tap and a decent veggie option on the menu.

Morning. Still not feeling great. I got up early to watch the morning session of athletics but thinking about going back to rest in my bed for a couple of hours now.

Take it easy Mo.Today is the first day in two weeks I have felt my normal self. I just didn’t have any energy or motivation to do anything.

I don’t like taking non prescribed medication but did find Paracetamol helped

Morning all

Been a good week. Contracts exchanged, 4 wins on the PBs, mates coming over for Sunday lunch and.......I've had a Lotto win!
Oh...and it's my wedding anniversary today - 43 years. I forgot all about it.
Fortunately, MrsD forgot as well.
It's a sign, I tell ya.......a sign!

Happy anniversay

I used not to but increasingly find I have to. Any programme with strong regional accents, especially American, I find very difficult to hear as I get older.

I have the same problem..I can hear ok that’s not the problem.Its actually deciphering what they are saying.It seems some actors don’t open their mouthes and speak through pursed lips

I was in the kitchen Mrs p had Emmerdale on in the other room and could hear every word

Good morning all.
We've been out with the dog, a nice longish walk, it's a tad cool out there today. Even the cats have come back in after only a short while out and about doing cat things.
Our daughter is coming round at some point this afternoon for dinner. Her fiance is working lates today, he by chance is also a train driver, working for Thameslink.

Amended in view of new information. It’s was TWO private jets and TWO full security teams . 😕

I was just reading that Anglia Water want to take over the land that Pitsford sailing club use.I am assuming that it is the Pitsford reservoir you use Just wondered how this will affect you

Thats me. Some progs are loud enough but I cannot understand it.
Putting my hearing aid helps a bit.

Maybe it is a sign, but what for?

How big was the lotto win. Enough for a "Fish Friday" extravaganza?

Enough for a bag of chips.

I quite often find that the volume on the actual programmes is so low that everyone sounds like they are mumbling. Then of course when the commercials come on its blaring.

Chicken portions for us today. Probably with some coating on them and maybe a few fries.

Yes, we find the same.

I am sure it is the fault of the actors/programme makers, and nothing to do with our old ears.

It's deliberate. They boost the volume when they switch to the adverts as the increase in volume grabs your attention.

Simple omelette for us. Cheese, onion and tomato. I will have potato wedges with mine.
