The Retirement Thread

Thanks. I was hoping to keep it quiet. Amazing isn't it. Yesterday I was 67 and today I'm 68.

Happy birthday.

Didn't realise you was also a 1956-er!

Good morning folks, a trip to Wimborne to see the physio this afternoon then back home to pack for tomorrow's trip away. Mrs Tkk has an itemised packing list, I'm more of a minimalist and can pack in 20 minutes ( and I'm not the one who gets to our destination and realises they've forgotten something ) 😉

I often wonder if I should have had back surgery. I'm sure it is affecting my leg strength due to all the numbness and weakness left by a combination of lumbar disc herniations and sciatica. However, I spoke to a retired doctor who is also a keen runner and cyclist and said back surgery is best avoided unless absolutely essential.

A very wise runner who was also a Doctor of Medicine once told me that seeing a Physio for treatment and Monthly check ups was eminently sensible, Cortisone injections don't always work but can be effective and if you're having back problems " Whatever you do, never let them anywhere near you with a knife "

The washing is on the line, it's a nice sunny day at the moment, with a nice breeze. A perfect drying day.
I'll get the grass cut, again, later on this afternoon. There is rain forecast for the next eight days.

Many happy returns and many more of them.

I'm thinking of joining the Garrick Club just to annoy people.

New Council Tax bill arrived today. £2760 pa. Only went up £144 so should be grateful for that.
