The Retirement Thread

anyway - eventually they installed a UV thingy to kill all the bugs and it was OK after that

Poole " Waste Water Treatment Plant " AKA " the sh*t works installed a load of those. Very powerful UV tubes inside a polycarbonate protective outer. Of course like all things they have a specific life span before they need changing. Disconnect power, unscrew the end of the outer protective tube, slide out the UV lamp and replace. Hang on a minute, who built that wall there? It's too close to the ends of the tubes to be able to replace them 🤔😁

Really bad night, just couldn't settle. The alarm went off at 7.30, shut my eyes for two seconds, opened them again and it was 10.00. The sun was streaming through the curtains, I wasn't expecting that. By the time I'd dressed it's raining again, what's going on.

Music done, house tidied.

Tell me about it. I went a walk earlier and the rain couldn't make up its mind. Had my hood up and down about 6 times.

41 years ago today I got married, it's sad that I'm the only one who remembers 😢

I accidentally drove through Waitrose car park this morning.
Honestly, most of the clientele should opt for Home Delivery!!
Let's just say that any driving skills have been long forgotten 😂

I've seen some right commoners in Waitrose of late. I swear some only visit to stock up on Waitrose bags for life to impress the neighbours.

Have you sent your ex a card to remind her of the happy days you had then?

Just had one of these for lunch. They’re bloody expensive but handy and seem to have decent ingredients with no nasty additives.

My SiL has just sent me the latest NHS list of symptoms for this year's flu, cold and Covid.
I can categorically say I have the latest flu.
I had it down as a bad cold but it's definitely the flu.
I am one of those people that says "if you/they had flu they would know it". Well I have flu and do know it

Good morning folks, off to catch the bus into Poole shortly, the early start means I will have to pay bus fare! ( £3).
Eye test at 09:00 then I will hang around in Poole as by the time I get back home it will be time to leave again for the Station. I an having the " extra add on " with the eye test where tbey do a scan of the back of the eye, it's an extra £9 but worth it if it reveals any issues.

That only cost me £3.50.

The weather is really lovely today and Mrs G just asked me if I was going for a ride. I said I wasn't because I didn't feel like it but will do later in the week as the forecast is good for the next 2 days.
I have some DIY to do today anyway.

Just back from an enjoyable spin. Pretty windy and dull with a few light showers but otherwise nice to get out before the next storm hits.
Only 26miles but 2100ft of climbing so a few hills in there. Bike stinking dirty so after lunch it's hosepipe time.

I don't know where she lives as she got married again and then he divorced her
and kicked her out of his house, a year or two later he died.

Been busy today, done sewing, ironing, drilling, been to B&Q for some wood, cooked brunch washed up,
repaired my large staple gun, fitted dog tag to my buoyance aid and one to my paddle board............
Phew I'm tired now...............
