The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Morning all

Up early again as MrsD has to be in Taunton just before 9am for her first cataract operation. Should be back home around midday.
She had a bit of a restless night, which is understandable.
Hopefully, she can have the other eye done as quickly as possible but it's likely to be several weeks between ops.

My friend went private (BUPA) and had both done together.
I have my eye test on Tuesday so will soon know if I need mine doing. I was warned a few years ago so have no complaints really.

Good morning all. A sunny but cool start to the day here. I opened a window in the bedroom, but MrsP has closed it. Rain is forecast for later on.
I'll be out with the dog soon and then I'll get a ride in. I have a prescription to pick up and o might have a pint or two in the Mitre on the way home.
Our son is calling in this afternoon so I'm going to cook a tuna and pasta bake, I'll get a crusty loaf whilst I am out to go with it.
Enjoy your day everyone

Morning all.
Dry and bright this morning. We had hail to go with very heavy rain yesterday.
Cleaner coming at 10.
I've got to sort bedding out and washed after my cuppa.

Brightening up out there. The calm before the proverbial.

Morning.
Clear and bright at the moment, I hope it stays that way as a ton of washing is on the go.
Weighs later although shoulder giving me a bit of niggle.

Morning again. The rain had gone off so I set off for a wander. I have the choice of at least 15 jackets and picked the wrong one. I went for a windproof rather than a waterproof which turned out to be a mistake as the rain came back on heavy. At least my feet were dry as I had goretex shoes on.

Being on my own and never having 'done' the washing in our married life**
I have got my washing down to 2 days......
Friday is bedding.
Dark wash is done as and when I get a decent load to do.
**I did my share, just that the washing was always done while I was working.
At first I had no idea how to even use the machine (we are good friends now).

You even go for the odd spin together?

As I'm retired but wife still working(albeit from home) I do a lot of household chores such as washing, hoovering etc. I'm happy to do it. She does majority of the cooking so I'm happy to do my bit.

Damned if I can get it into my head that this is just Friday. I even just checked to see who my footie team is playing today. Earlier I was surprised to see kids going to school.

No Sunday school near you?

I think Shaun needs to look at who is allowed to advertise on here. I'm sick of seeing these sort of ads. Need to reinstall my adblocker I think.
