The Retirement Thread

I lost a filling just before this kicked off. Its not hurting and is in a place I clean quite easily. Not sure what to do.

I don't think they will treat you unless it becomes seriously painful. Anything that requires drilling with the associated water spray is out I believe.

Really. I didn't know that.

I'm being very responsible in these difficult times.

1. I filled the CRV with diesel yesterday at my local petrol station - supporting a small local business.
2. The car will only be used for essential journeys - reducing pollution and traffic congestion.
3. My bicycle shall be used for most shopping - avoids car parks and enables self distancing, whilst being environmentally friendly.
4. I'll avoid greencrocers and buy my veg from the farmers barn across the road - supports local business and reduces transportation of goods.
5. Beer will be sourced from my local brewery which is doing home delivery - supports local business.
6. Exercise will be doggie walking around the local lanes, tracks, dunes, beaches and nature reserve - avoiding contact with other people.
8. Other shopping will be done online, where possible - avoiding unnecessary journeys.

So........apart from the lack of social interaction.......theres not much change.

I am going to do you a BIG favour. I know that the virus will never touch you so......
when you have finished all your painting and are looking for jobs to do.......you can come here and paint a couple of rooms
How generous am I then.

Thanks Dave. Would this be essential travel?

@PaulSB Only just getting my car done in time. He is closing his doors at lunchtime! He isn't required to but is doing it for the health and safety of himself, mechanics and customers.

The word on my club Facebook page is when Michael Gove was asked about cycling distances he replied:

"Whatever is normal for the individual"

Jeez.........when did I ever look to Michael Gove for moral guidance?

@Dave7, yodel have confirmed they left the parcel, containing my half of the exchange, outside your door at 02:49 this morning. They knocked, but received no answer.

You'll be sending your half of the exchange soon I take it.

You weren't worried you'd fail and the car sail through?

Still don't know if it's passed. Should hear shortly. Talk about cutting it fine getting it in with literally hours to spare!

I've been on the B & Q website looking at the cost of papering and painting our lounge.

I think that's Vehicle Approval Tests - a different thing to MOTs.
