The Retirement Thread

[Elybazza61]

Bit hacked off as the lurgy is still lingering and didn't get a great nights sleep, in better news we have rain at last and is much cooler.

Will go shopping/thrifting this morning (have a Waitrose voucher to use) and may do some garden tidying and decide wether to pull the trigger on some Fairlight forks for the Stayer AR.

Rather humid riverside trail walked. The mist has gone and the sun has appeared.

Our schools are back today.

Just checked: that rainfall put a good 18" in my butt! 🌧️

I'll stick my head in my butt later and have a look.

Morning - had a dr appointment over the phone this morning

supposed to be at 9:25 but also says "any time during the day"
I did have an AgeUK client booked for 10:30 but that was cancelled but I had already asked the Dr to ring early
so they did - 8:20!!

anyway
CT looks mostly fine except a few ageing things
but she has booked my in for a memory test at 12:45 today

apparently just 10 questions they have to do before sending a referral off

Looking it up I think if I pass I am qualified to be the next President of the USA???

Maybe the angle has foreshortened the distance, but not sure I would be sitting in that chair!

How is Mrs D this morning Papa Dirkie? Mrs D is prone to falls but thus far hasn't managed to faceplant.

She's OK but a bit sore. She's not prone to falls; she got out of the car and was letting the dog out - when the dog's lead caught on a branch on the ground, flicking it up and she tripped on it. Silly accident really.

Don't forget your memory test!

We just had a bit of drizzle here. It lasted all of two minutes. Some rain forecast for the next three days though.
I'll be out and about on the bike shortly. We need a few things from the shops, plus, pick up some medication ftom the Vets for Millie, and a book to return to the library.
Busy busy busy.

Just washed the hall carpet.........

Good morning. Autumnal. My butts may have filled overnight, we shall see. Today my responsibilities have diminished somewhat, that's responsibilities, not faculties! For the next week I'm simply responsible for two guinea pigs and two hens. One of these hens is stupid. They roam our neighbour's allotment at will and have a perfectly good hoop/hutch to sleep in. One of the roosts in an apple tree. Last night in the rain when I went up she was sat in the tree!!

That's about it apart from some u3a matters and the new bedroom carpet arriving. I have emptied the bedroom...........we have more stuff than I realised
