The Retirement Thread

Hmmmm........ friend just WhatsApped an image from Tesco's. Beer cleaned out. I can't comment really having two bottles of whisky this morning.

How many have you drunk so far this afternoon?

2 bottles is ok for tonight but what about tomorrow?

Hmmmmmm...........I seem to have omitted the word "bought" from my post.

 

[PaulSB]

On a completely unrelated note, how is your soapy solution and kitchen paper sales business going?

Very well. I've stood outside Whetherspoons all afternoon...........no evidence that anyone has caught Covid-19 in one of Tim Martin's pubs .......... obviously my solution works 😄

Fine, I can do better than that.

That is pretty much what you will get from any Scottish Islands. Fab Foodie was going to Lewis I think.
I wonder if the lynch mobs have got him yet?
That is the way a lot of the comments are going as there appears to be convoys of motorhomes and caravans heading north but there is no welcome for them. There is a pic of a bit of waste ground near Glencoe crammed with them. Not only are they possibly bringing infection but they are accused of stripping local shops of food they were unable to get before leaving home.
There is also a picture of emergency beds in Castlebay on Barra. This appears to be camp beds in the public hall and not much else.

I'm not surprised, Tesco's aptly named Life & Death IPA is one of the best beers around.

The point to the mask and gloves is to reassure my wife I won't infect her. On our Tuesday visit to our oncologist he indicated the mask could help when people sneeze and cough. Since people here have no idea that talking to someone from a foot away may not be wise and they like to clump together in any public place, the mask may not be totally useless. They've already stripped the stores of a lot of shareable food, paper products and any kind of sanitizing products. Her remission isn't going well and she loses heart when she hears this sort of news. She becomes more afraid than usual that she will get Covid and her immune system will let her down. I dont think anything is more effective than frequent hand washing with soap, but she has it in her head gloves are the ticket. Don't care much for either the mask nor the the gloves but it's a small price to pay for her peace of mind.

Ah, I see. Do you wear it at home as well?

 

[12boy]

No, I reserve my Richard Nixon mask for every day use. Doesn't prevent disease transmission but at least it's more handsome than me.

Well I am truly knackered. Off for an early night.
Knee and leg are less painful as is the chest.
Got a 10 miler planned for tomorrow if my knee is working.
Sleep well everyone.

Sunday lunch at my local is now out of the question.
MrsD ain't happy. It means that she's got to cook at least 3 times a week more than normal.

Local ones aren't making house to house calls at present.

We are naughty, with all the CV news this week we missed St Patrick's day on Tuesday. So to make up have a look at this, brilliant....

Men can cook too. Just this morning I boiled water without burning it or having it oil over.
