The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

Right I'm back

been to the Mersey Gateway Bridge walk in centre
The email I had from them said my account was going to be downgraded as they had been unable to verify that I was entitled to a local user discount

I was very unsure that the email was genuine
plus - it wanted me to scan my vehicel documentation, council tax bill and a recent document like a bank statement
and Email them to them

WHAT!!
email - is one of the most insecure ways to send soemthing - it was designed in the days when everyone on the Internet was a mate of yours and you could trust them

and has only been fiddled with since


anyway - got there and there was a queue - BIG queue - of people who had had the same email

lots fo annoyed people

at least they did send a manager down to explain

sounds like a cock up after they got Equifax to check things and didn;t realise how many emails they were sending out
and didn;t staff the walk-in centre either!!

I just can't go for a walk in the rain!

I'm a scouser so brick 'ard me, lah (not really. I can walk in light rain. I didnt enjoy cycling in any rain)
Back now. Managed a tad over 2 miles AND AND AND it didnt rain!! It threatened but nothing happened.
Sore throat!!
I spoke to the chemist. He was very thorough with his questions** and in the end said Strepsils were as good as anything.
** he asked me if my tonsils had white spots and he was surprised when I told him I was born without tonsils......it gave me lots of trouble as a kid.

Been a lazy day for me, didn't sleep very well, woke up at
08:00 and felt like 💩, some how I fell back to sleep did wake again until 10:00.
By the time I sorted myself out it was lunch time, sardines on toast was the order of the day.
Then the postman came with three parcels, which were all correct.
Later I watched the Mass from Portlaoise Ireland on youtube

Have you ever walked down the road & said "Sit!" then remembered you didn't have the dog with you?
🤦‍♂️

No, but I once went Into the supermarket for a few things. Tied her up outside then came out of the shop and was half way home when I realised I had forgotten her! 🐶

I have just had my tea. @ebikeerwidnes would be proud of me. 3 slices of toast with grilled tomatoes on.
I confess that some bounder put thick slices of cheese under the tomatoes

Quick trip to my local John Lewis to try out some armchairs - found one that was very comfortable, sat in it for ages, I should've taken a flask of tea and some Rich Tea biscuits for a full test drive. I am just going through the pros and cons before I order it:

Pro: very comfortable
Con: the cat will commandeer it
Pro: fits in with existing furniture
Con: the cat will commandeer it
Pro: perfect size for the space - preserves the feng shui of the room
Con: the cat will definitely commandeer it

Pick up cat. Drop on floor. Rinse and repeat.

Molly's dog groomer, who is a very nice woman, is running the Dragon Back Race, from Conwy to Cardiff, a distance of 220 miles over 6 days I think.
I am following her on the website.
This will be a fantastic achievement and I am sure she will do it as she is a very determined person.
Personally, I would struggle to run just 1 mile as I have never been a runner.
