The Retirement Thread

I am with you on that. In summer, if I do eg a 30/40 miler I may enjoy an ice cream. In Majorca a coffee/ice cream were rituals on our daily rides. But normally its water and glucose tablets (with jelly babies of course).

Why do your jelly babies need glucose tablets?

We did something this afternoon that makes me a little sad. Over the last couple of months my Good Lady has gone from getting about with a walking frame to hiring a wheelchair from shop mobility, when we go into town,today we picked up a wheelchair of our own, paid for by my brother in law, now while I'm grateful that he put his hand in his pocket I'm a little sad that its come to this. I'm hoping that her physio assesment tomorrow will bring some good news

Americans buying up guns in case of civil unrest Where is Wyatt Earp when you need him
Americans are not buying up guns. Those who want them already have lots of them. I just don't see how youse guys feel safe without a couple of concealed carry pistols on your persons at all times, an AR 15 in your car, a couple of shotguns, and more assault rifles, strategically available around the house.

^^^^^^

Maybe because everyone else hasn't got them?

Council tax bill is £1400. When we bought this house way back in 1988 the rateable value was £1250. More than happy with that rise over that length of time . 😀

@dave r I'm a little sad to read your post, it does us all good to reflect on how fortunate we are.

I hope tomorrow's assessment goes well - for both of your sakes 🤞
