The Retirement Thread

Morning.
Looks a lovely day.
Not sure on plans as yet but I can report I went on a short ride yesterday and a swim in the sea(!). It was nice but also rather chilly in the water.
Wife and eldest wanted an afternoon on a local beach so post ride we headed off and had a bracing dip.

Whereabouts are/were you ie which sea did you swim in ?

West Wales was the location so Irish Sea.

Mine also have the "RAYOVAC" emblem but definitely only have 6 per pack/card (I just re-checked).

Morning all

Watchet market is on today, so will be having a drive down to town; dropping car off to have a bit of body trim secured then lunching in the Star. There's also a band playing at the harbour, so might stop and watch for a while.

Porridge had. I saw some Whitworths Wonder Mix in the Co-op the other day and bought the mixed nuts and the mixed seeds. A small handful of each in my porridge along with banana is rather nice.

TBH I have some that, technically, expired 6 months ago (I was given a load of them) but they still work.
My hearing problem is for certain pitches......can be low OR high eg small bird songs are a problem as are certain programs on TV such as The Chase.
The result is that I only wear it for maybe 2 or 3 hours each day.

Never ad any problem with them as they have a decent sized tab which sort of hangs over..... see photo.

Can depend on where the contacts are within the hearing aid. At the side, you can leave the tab in place. Front and back will require removal.

I 'assume' the contact are at the top but I don't know for sure.
I 'open' the door, drop the battery in and close the door.....wallah!

Interesting, until now I always thought that the Irish sea finished just below Anglesey and it was the Pacific that flowed all along West Wales.
Mr Google has just cleared that up for me (78 years late but hey ho).

I think you mean the Atlantic, the Pacific is the other side of America.
