The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

I will be ok then
I had BCG as the main after cancer treatment. So far it seems to be working for that at any rate.

I had the BCG at secondary school, possibly in1972/3. Would it still be active now?
Incidentally, my Dad had a BCG treatment for bladder cancer starting about 10 years ago. It kept it a bay until his death which wasn't connected to the cancer.

Not that I like an ale or two, but in order to stop going out to the local shops for non essential stores, I have just ordered 3 cases of ale from the Hogs Back brewery. What with the wine order, this should keep me going for a few weeks.

I was just going to have my first lunch al fresco, but it looks like youve beaten me to it .....nice garden BTW

 

[Dave7]

that's as bad as buying a German car have you no shame

Similar maybe but you cant drink a German car and a nice Malbec doesn't cheat on its performance

Is this your garden Dave. Looks lovely.

Thanks Paul. Thats the back garden. We have a similar size at the side and one at the front. Dont get me wrong when I say that. Its an ex MOD house and ours is the smallest of the rear gardens.
We bought it cheap in 1982 and were offered FREE an adjoining piece of land of similar size.
I stupidly turned it down because of the maintainance involved. If I had known then what I know now

A very unpleasant treatment as you will know and lots of people cannot take it but if it works it can be a life saver.

No. I don't have any.

Sorted! I've about finished the back of the lounge, just got to slap some emulsion on the ceiling and put the junk back in the cupboard and that's it, I'll start the front next week, I'm now half way through the job.

Today I've been shopping, been for a ride 10 miles and made a loaf.
I don't know if it is me but people don't want to talk to you even cyclists they treat you like you have the plague
or something 🤒😷🤧
Oh and I had a letter from the Prime Minster

 

[PaulSB]

Completely lacking in motivation this afternoon...........I shall make a cup of tea.

Oh and I had a letter from the Prime Minster

Oh he wrote to you as well. I thought it was just me. He has been busy. Hope it's not one of those round robin things people send at Christmas?

TBH NN I have found the opposite but I have been walking. People (mainly) show respect, allow the space and often wave** or shout a hello
**not sure how many fingers they are waving but they seem friendly enough.
