The Retirement Thread

At this rate I might have to turn into a compete country yokel and buy veggie seeds and invest in a few chickens again for eggs and chicks.

I've always loved goats. Think if I had your place I would definitely have a couple.

The egg lady at the Farmers market yesterday gave me her contact details saying the hens aren't going to stop laying so she'll be switching to home deliveries. 🐔

More and more home deliveries started. Many of our restaurants, bakers, etc have started delivering.

Dirk came out the closet.

Ooh.......get you.

Yep, same round here. I can't see us using the services though. A trip to a restaurant, pub, cafe is generally a treat, an evening out. I don't feel inclined to get meals I can cook at home delivered to me.

I think our local deli will go bust - they're offering some form of "click and collect". Mrs P has a £20 voucher she was given at Christmas, not sure if she will use it now.

This business only opened June 2019 and frankly was fated from the start. Covid-19 is going to put it out of it's misery quickly rather than the inevitable long decline.

We've got a lovely deli here. Hope he survives.

I tried to book a delivery with Asda, but there is no chance of that. Every slot.is booked into the middle of April and as soon as 1 or 2 do become availablethey are snapped up.

I doubt whether I'll take advantage of our local pub's home delivery services.
If I'm going to stay in, I can buy my beer cheaper from the brewery or the supermarket.
Part of the attraction of a pub is the atmosphere and the social interaction. Take those away and what have you got? Expensive beer.

I see someone has put up a post on our local town page. A YouTube thing from someone claiming it's 5G that's caused this. That's the last thing people need to see, as if they're not worried enough!

Afraid I couldn't resist putting up a post on it. See what reaction it gets. Lol

You and me both, I wasn't that keen on people before this started, now I'm seeing them in a whole different light and I'm not impressed.

She's taken it down........that's good. Last thing people need is to start worrying about what's caused this. Hopefully at some point there might be some clearer answers but hypothesising isn't going to help.

We're now pretty much socially isolated at home. Any venturing out is done by me, and I'm following all the precautions. Nevertheless, today I'm going to set up the summer house as an isolation unit. There's power, heat, tv, a fridge etc, so I'll get a bed set up, put some towels and toiletries out there, stock it with food and water.

I've edited my post, put it better.
