The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. Not long back a pleasant 7 mile wander. It's dry but overcast and quite cool here at the moment.

Breakfast is a new muesli I bought online to try. Just as well I like it as I bought a 5k bag

It’s so sad to read about Dave7 situation.it heartens me to read the messages of support.

I know how much it meant to me when Mrs P was undergoing surgery for cancer.

We are group off people who we will probably never meet but we are quick to give are support when our members are in situations as Dave finds himself.
Once again Dave I am so sorry to hear about your and Mrs D situation

Back from hospital. They have taken my beautiful wife off 'everything' now ie not even any water.
Its just a waiting game now.

Sorry to hear that - thinking of you

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

OK - where are we up to??

well we are lookign after the kids again today - picking the baby up at 1 from the other gran then looking after him and I pick up the eldest from school - then her cousin who is at the nursery next door (and who can be a pain!)
then wait for the middle one who comes on 'his' bus from the Special School

then wait for their Mum to come home from work - although she might already be back by then


there is something about a new 'car set' that now has batteries and the boys are excited to try out


which probably means the middle one and his cousin are excited and the baby will want to join in and annoy them!

I echo those thoughts. We will probably never meet but those messages and sentiments help a lot (even if they do start me blubbing 🙂)

Woke at 3, then 4, then at 5 I gave in and got up.
Bins done (blue and green).
Might do an Aldi dash at 0800 though I really don't want much.
Breckie will be ??? Toast??
Later I am determined to have chicken, onion, garlic, pasta and a sauce.

Brown or ketchup?

 

[Dave7]

Brown or ketchup?

Neither.....its a tomato and garlic sauce to go with chicken and pasta.

Something is happening to the rabbits. One minute a rabbit is running around and the next it just keeps over and gasps for air then dies.

Its not mixamatosis as it takes days for them to die from that and they tend to walk round in circles and their eyes become stuck with discharge.

We have found 4 or 5 now. Mr WD just saw a baby rabbit gasping for air on its side. It opened its eyes but then closed them again.

And none of the predators are eating them either. They are staying away from them.

Very strange indeed.

Call environment agency

Poison?

No idea. One minute they seem fine and the next they are eyes closed and gasping for air then they die.

Could be something called RHD2. Little to no symptoms, comes on very quickly, it's a virus and there isn't a cure.

Its a new virus, and all rabbits in the UK including pet rabbits could be killed off.

Your entitled to blub as much as you want

 

[Dave7]

Well I didn't get to Aldi but went to........
The farm shop**
The Spar
The library.
**for bird food. Blimey that's expensive now.

Not that new, thirty five years since it first emerged in Australia/New Zealand.
