The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Just received the news that a fellow parish councillor has passed away today. He went for a nap and drifted away, which probably isnt the worst way to go.

A bit stunned. Of all the parish councillors he was the most welcoming to me and we got on well, probably because we shared the same warped sense of humour. I last spoke to him Saturday, and he complained of feeling a little under the weather but had put it down to the heat.

R.I.P.

Sorry to hear that @Drago I've had a friend in past this happened to years back. Left work early feeling a bit rubbish and died later that day. Sad news, raise a glass and make the most of every day.

My buddy said he had a nice 60 mile route to Cheshire from his place. It's a ten mile ride for me to meet him. That should have been 80 total. He misled me. It was a 72 mile route, I finished the day with 92 miles. Tired!

We had coffee in Alderley Edge, home of many PL footballers. The BLT was magnificent. The best I've ever tasted.

Sorry to hear that

but at least they are testing it and doing something about it!

Apparently I may have to go on a drip for iron once a month soon

while I was away I got an email for a telephone appointment next week to discuss my blood tests

only one that seems dodgy is iron

so I think they want to discuss drips and stuff!!

might seen you there!!!

Look after yourself.. im thinking of you

@Drago if you've not heard it before check out 'Runnin Blue' Boz Scaggs, Greatest hit live. Just superb! First time I've heard it live, last track on the album.

Just avoid Alderly Edge at weekends. Full of boy racers or super cars making a terrible racket. If I pas I go through the back streets.

Good morning all.
For some reason I'm awake at silly o'clock. There's been couple of supposidly shock results overnight in the football.
Today i have some errands to do so I'll be out and about on the bike.
Weatherwise, it is drizzling at the moment and is going to be cloudy for most of the day.

Good morning from an overcast Dorset. Some vivid dreams last night, I vaguely remember a woman with a knife trying to attack me and Mrs Tkk says I was pushing her and shouting 😮. I blame Mrs Tkk's homemade chickpea dahl😁
A busy day, black bin and food waste, walking group, then straight on the bus to the hospital for bloods and from there to granddaughter's school fashion show. We'll take her back to daughter's then wait for mummy to get home from work before catching our bus back home.
Stay cool folks ☀️😎

A strange mix of upset, annoyed and unsettled today. If I can get through today ill be fine.
