The Retirement Thread

Morning. Been up since just after 5 and sat here on the ipad. Heavy rain just come on and it’s windy too. Not sure I fancy braving it so might just hold off until later.

Stay safe peeps.

You mean horrible???

only beer I have ever tried that I actively disliked!!!

for comparison - not as bad as cheese - which is disgusting - but not nice

Good morning all from a rainy Barnet.
It's been raining most of the night, it woke me up at 4am.
Millie has a vets appointment this lunchtime, her latest blood tests indicate that her kidneys are packing up, I feel it is only a short time now before we will be saying goodbye 😥

An early appointment with the physio today, then back to join Mrs Tkk on the group walk. A spot of lunch then off to collect granddaughter from school, wait until her mum gets back from work and then bus home. Quite a busy day for me.

Morning all

Rain this morning, so doggie walk will have to wait until later.
We'll go out before lunchtime, have a walk, then lunch in the Star.

'Morning all.
Dry and cool here with rain due around 1300 hrs.
I am at the hospital at 14.00 for a bone density scan. This appointment came out of the blue but from what I read its not connected to other problems but issomething offered to all?? old codgers. TBH I have lost height so will go along with it as its not intrusive.........the only ball ache is the parking (or lack of it).
Have a good day peeps.

I was offered one after tripping and breaking my arm. Unintrusive and only takes a few minutes, it's mainly the hip / thigh area. I was diagnosed with Ostopaenia which is common for someone of my age, and prescribed B12 iirc

Cool and wet here this morning.

Got up a bit later this morning probably because we stayed up a bit later watching some YouTube stuff.

Breakfast,coffee consumed and washing up done, will go shopping in a while and then fit the clothes rail that Evri dumped on the doorstep yesterday.

Will finish the Trek later ,mostly sorting the headset out and fitting the Dynamo lights.

Glad I stuck to muesli then.

Sorry to hear that. We lost a Greyhound from kidney failure.

Morning all!
Well, the IOW circuit went very well: absolutely astonishing weather - bright, warm, light breeze. A few too many hills (god, how I hate hills!), lovely rest stops & a chilled beer at the end 🍻

Even a cool post box topper close to the end🤪

& now we have RAIN!
Great for the garden….a morning indoors for a change for us 👌
