The Retirement Thread

[SpokeyDokey]

Anyway........yesterday's hospital ' consultation' gave some positive news.
My last scans etc in April showed up 2 worrying things.
1. I had lost 3 1/2 stone (mainly muscle mass).
2. My liver count was waaaay to high.
Yesterday's results showed
1. I have put 1.1 stone back on.
2. I have reduced my 'liver count' by 75% which pleased the consultant.

My daughter, as next of kin, was with me and it was quite emotional as we feared the worst and she had witnessed her Mum passing away in June so was dreading the worst.

Onward and upwards then.

Great News!

We only have 1 neighbour

Do you keep a watch on them?

We only have 1 neighbour

I'm getting a new neighbour, the flat has been empty for the last 4 months.
I just hope they are nice, a bad neighbour in a block of flats is your worse nightmare.
Had one before took 18 months and a court case to get him out.

Fingers crossed for you, and the rest of the flats .😀

No but Mr WD is a bit of a curtain twitcher. He likes to gossip as well.

Just picked up a dead Goldfinch that was on my verandah. It had flown into our french windows and broke its neck.
Very pretty little birds. We have loads of them here.

That happens here on a regular basis in the spring and summer. I think the sun blinds them and they just fly into the windows. We tend to get the blackbirds and blue ties that do it the most.

Down to zero already and might hit minus 5 tonight. I had a little siesta before tea.

We get bloody big pigeons, it's a wonder they don't break the windows!

I've joined the local Neighbourhood Watch. How jolly exciting!

I founded four local neighbourhood watches. All four have long since folded.
Folk just couldn't be bothered, even if it meant cheaper insurance.

They won't see him.....he'll be in full camouflage.

Just toying with the idea of not bothering renewing my Amazon Prime when it's due. I'm not finding it very good value now. Lot's of the stuff they sell are cheap Chinese rubbish and branded names are no cheaper than you can get elsewhere so even the free next day delivery is barely worth it, and as for their movies, they don't seem to update them much and more and more now have ads. I believe they are thinking about levying an extra charge if you want ads removed. No thanks.

They, Amazon, are also one online retailer who's considering charging for returns.
