The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

I can’t personally see what the hassle is . I was in and out within five minutes.

It is very much a personal decision..

I think about the consequences if polio vaccine hadn’t been developed also Malaria vaccine.all largely eradicated.

Do people still need Malaria vaccinations when visiting holiday destinations where Malaria is still endemic?

I’ve had all the vaccinations Polio .Shingles .pneumonia.Tetanus when offered.All one off vaccinations.

If there is ever a preventative treatment for dementia developed I’ll be first in the queue.

When Mrs p was first diagnosed with Ovarian cancer she was adamant she wouldn’t have Chemotherapy or radiotherapy because of the side affects.She changed her mind after mine family and friends persuaded her of the consequences.As it happens it happens a major surgery’ solved that problem .
She is now on a maintenance dose of Letrozol for the next five years Side affects are frequent hot flushes .As she says better that than permanently in a cold grave.Six monthly check ups at L R I Oncology
Hot flushes horrendous parking situation at the LRI All a bit of a hassle but better than the possible consequences

Its not the injection itself that is the problem. Its the illness and complications that follow that's the problem as in Daves case. Long covid is very debilitating as I have no doubt Dave can testify to. And of course there seems to be a huge increase in the number of people who are dying from sudden heart problems as well. Well above the norm.

I see the Swiss have stopped Covid vaccinations for everyone unless your own Dr advises you to have it. Speaks volumes I think.

And on that note I will desist from the subject as its something that can cause a lot of arguments.

And it looks like it's about to rain here as well.

Spent most of the morning assembling our extending table and chairs.
Finest quality IKEA..........made in China.

Just got one more dining table and 6 chairs to order for the dining room, but that can wait a while.

Well, as promised, I did go for a ride and got caught in the rain on the other side of Conwy so only managed 26 kms but better than nothing.

Well done for the determination.

Well done for the determination.

26 kms is a perfectly respectable distance in my view . Of course it does depend on time taken and how up and down the route was

Here in North Wales, it is all up and down. One slope was 16% but, thankfully, only about 150 metres long and I was glad to reach the top.

I can confirm that

Bored. So bored I'm reduced to watching Dantes Peak.

I took my Good lady out to lunch then on into town for some shopping and timed it so we got back just as the F1 Sprint race was starting, Verstappen was unimpressed with the hole Russell put in his sidepod, called him names , I spent most of the rest of the afternoon in the garden in the sunshine, I've got my Sweet Peas planted out now.

Good evening all.
I'm having a history night, watching Lucy Worsley investigates on the Iplayer.
I watched all 4 episodes, the Witch trials, the black death, the Princes in the tower and the madness of King George.
Well worth watching if you like British history.

The son of one of our Sunday riding group has long covid and he is not in a good way.
Nevertheless here Downunda those seemed "At Risk" which includes 80 yo codgers like Moi are offered regular upgrades. I have just had #5.
YMMV.

Off to bed with square eyes having binge watched all 6 episodes of Magpie Murders. Really enjoyed it.

 

[Paulus]

Night night everyone.

RIght - finished watching "Warrior Nun" on Netflix
all 2 seasons

What utter carp!!!
Women taking on men in a fight and winning using a frontal assault against superior numbers
Then discovering that they also have guns but decided to use hand to hand combat and rush them from 100 yards away
WOmen wearing sexy clothes even when they would interfere with their ability to fight
baddies all unable to hit a target with decent assault type guns but the goodies hit every target with hand guns
unlimited ammunition in all the goodies guns

and a load of other stuff


Still - I loved it - even it it did make James Bond look as likely as an Attenborough documentary

sometimes I have to watch some rubbish to counter all the history and real crime stuff that SWMBO wants to watch!!!
