The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Awoke to a drizzly Dorset. Not a lot planned, will go for a run/ walk then pop down to B+Q for a new watering can ( the rose broke, new rose £4, new watering can £5 )
Watched a short video last night with a Turkish chef demonstrating how to cook Halloumi " properly ", I have a block of the proper stuff in the fridge, so that's my next cooking experiment.

I tried it as a pub meal once and didnt like it but as you intimate there must be various qualities and various cooking methods/abilities.

It’s definitely quieter without him, I used to really enjoy his musings.

And theres a guy called Mr Todger that is in need of his advice.

Morning all.
Slept heavy last night. There has been a Muntjac deer seen on the park early morning so my plan was to be there at 0600..... woke up and thought no, its not going to happen.
I may go the the pharmacy. After carrying a heavy ish bag I noticed my middle finger was bruised. Last night it was swollen and completely blue. I can move it and bend it part way as the swelling prevents bending it further.

Not sure i could ever go to one of them. I could try but think I would find it hard.
It would be so obvious that it was my first time, it would stick out a mile.

Boasting again are we? 😂

Rough night last night.. Felt dodgy when I went to bed at about 10:30. Couldn't sleep, stomach churning.
Sometime in the darkness, no idea what time, I thought I'd better head to the toilet. Dizzy, no balance whatsoever.. Ended up, after emptying my body quite emphatically (!) sitting on the side of the bath where I guess I must have blacked out.
Long story short, I fell backwards into the bath, knocking my head on the far edge. That both hurt & brought me to!

Suffice to say, the broccoli in cheese sauce tasted better going down than it did coming back up 🥹

This morning @07:15 felt right as rain!! 🤷‍♂️

Be careful - blacking out and hitting your head can be a bad thing to do

make sure someone is with you that knows what happened so they can keep an eye on you!

I hate being sick. It often makes me feel faint too.

Wonder what caused it? I wouldn't have thought broccoli and cheese would.

I would blame the cheese personally - evil stuff

but I think stomach problems at night - where you get up suddenly while you tummy is needing a lot of blood flow
can involve a lack of blood being sent to the brain which makes you faint

or something like that

I had to chuck the other half of it in the bin just in case it was that! ☹️
It was lovely, too 😢
