The Retirement Thread

Back from the pub. The garden looks inviting but maybe a bit to warm for sunbathing. I'll give it an hour before I catch a few ZzZs.

Well, you must have had the cars in order to have the accidents they want to help you claim for…

I'm waiting for the next wave of claims aimed at those of use who've never owned a car:
Have you been inconvenienced by missing your Bus? Late for an appointment through no fault of your own? Missed out on a relationship that might have led to a lifetime of wedded bliss due to being late for a date?
If so, you may be due compensation from the bus company. Call our claims advice number.....

I have laughed, but in reality it's not too far off of the truth.😟

I've seen adverts for help making a claim if you were misold a static caravan or mobile home.

I saw a greetings card today in Sainsbury’s

“have you ever been on a date with a man?

you may be entitled to compensation“

I remember during the covid era that if you wore spectacles and a mask you could expect some condesation.....

That was very annoying indeed.

Salut. Just been talking with my brother in Orleans and it is 28 degrees there. It is nothing like that here although it is very nice today.
We are preparing for our cruise next Tuesday. We are actually living on Monday and sleeping at Birmingham airport as our flight is due at 8 am.
I went to Tui this morning to finalise all the paperwork but they can't do it till Friday so Friday it is then.

Cracking ride, 64 miles 4300ft climbing. Beautiful day and warm with it so summer jersey and lightweight base was right call.
Longest ride of year so far, my legs are feeling it now.

I lay down on the sun bed and fell asleep. Was in a nice deep sleep when I was rudely awakened by a bloody dog sitting on my chest . I suppose i should take it as a compliment.

Hi I had an appointment with my consultant on the 30th March, no results from my MRI scan which was very disappointing to say the least, but on a good point my diopter (double vision) has gone down from 20 to 12 although good, she put the mockers on that by saying “we have good days and bad days we nee to see the results from the MRI before I commit myself”
I left the hospital feeling very pissed off with life in general
Easter Sunday felt really bad, there was a sort of throbbing from my eye and I was moby dick and didn't even go to church that morning, Monday I was OK but felt so low.......just feeling sorry for myself and couldn't even cook a meal for myself.
Today as it was quite warm I went of a drive (yes I can drive again with the prism lens fitted to my glasses) and drove OK it was nice to be back on the road again.
Came home and had lunch, put on my shorts (yes it was really warm here) and light top and went for a walk arrived home and the phoned rang, it was the hospital telling me that the results had come back.............all clear, no tumours..........what a relief, they are still not too sure why I have the double vision, but could be caused by high blood pressure or a weak eye muscle, so we will see what happens next.
