The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

Out of the blue my Doctor has prescribed Statins for me, no consultation or any problem flagged.
I see from the old thread that there are mixed feelings on it.
I have come this far without them and dont think I'll be rushing to take them

I was just put on them after I had an apparent stroke - which might not have been

it was just assumed - but the GP said it was worth it as a preventative as there could be problems that are not noticed unless they do a blood test for it
and if there is a problem then it could be very bad
so it to head off problems before they happen

I will be bringing it up when I get an appointment - which has to wait until after I see the dietician in a week or so

lets just say the list of "things to talk about" is getting quite big!

Fish, chips n mushy peas, entertainment (a singer) plus 3 games of bingo... £8.00. Good value.

Tomatoes potted up, carpets cleaned, dog walked and a couple of programmes on the telly caught up with.
I'm going to cook up a mustard sauce with mushrooms to pour over the leftover pork loin joint we had on Sunday. Green beans, carrots and mash are the accompanying veg.

Nice.
I am on chicken stew that I made and froze. This is, sadly, the last portion of it.

Morning. Back to frost for us. A chilly minus 2.

Uncle Ernie has deserted me this month.

 

[Dave7]

G'day all.
A cool start and temp' not going to rise much. At least it will be dry.
A strange day as Thursday is normally busy but everything has been done so I have zilch to do. Hopefully get a walk in at some time.

Morning campers 👋

[Paulus]

Good morning all.
A cool, cloudy start to the day here 7⁰c.
Uncle Ernie has delivered 2x£25, better than a poke in the eye. 😁

Morning all

£225 on the PBs this month.
Weather's looking good today for the first bike meet of the year this evening at the White Horse.

Morning.
Decent day, dry sunny and a bit chilly but otherwise good. Ride methinks. I went yesterday on a flat 26miles and it was horrific into 25mph headwind. Legs feeling it now.
Washing on. Coffee on.
Sod all on Premium bonds.

Morning
Just read the Liverpool Echo and discovered that a shop opposite where I grew up has been closed down due to selling illegal vapes

My Mum would be horrified if we were syll there!!

so - naturally - I went to check on google maps to see exactly which shop it was

and looked ta the house we used to live in - which is now a Vets

Yea Gods I wish they would paint that side door to the yard

I think the last person to paint it was me from the look of it

and I left home in about 1984!!!

I would love to see these, but I thought extinct meant they no longer existed so how could they come back?
