The Retirement Thread

I just showed that photo to MrsD and asked 'right, who posted this"?
She said "its either Welshie or Mo".
I am so predictable

............or maybe Mrs Dragon and me are!

Gosh it's gone very overcast here. Forecast says we could get a shower. Wouldn't surprise me.

Ask her who posted this one.

She got it.
In her pseudo* scouse accent she said "that must be Diiiirk"
*she is what we call a wooley back as in not actually from Merseyside.

You and Mrs Dragon are lovely people, as are 'most' people on here.

Will you be providing the masks, pretend guns and the sign saying "this is a holdup, stick your hands up you bum"

I'll take that as a "I'm in" if they are provided.

You happy/okay with driving on the motorway?

@Dave7 that's a law not a store rule. Some places offer a "viewing" hour on Sundays to help them extend Sunday trading hours. Same principal.

I understand the Sunday rule but surely that doesn't apply on weekdays.
Last week I was in, shopped and was actually out by 07.50.
And today, when the queue got out of hand, they started the tills at 0755.
Tesco/Asda are allowed 24 hour shopping. They dont do it now for obvious reasons but they are allowed to

No queue at Ilfracombe LIDL.

Just waiting for MrsD to whizz round the store, then we're taking doggie for a walk around the Tors on the way back.

Afternoon all. I did have good intentions to go for a bimble . I even got my bike out, but I just couldn't be arsed .

I went for a walk around the field instead. Wellll, it is still exercise.

Afternoon all. Just back for shopping / cleaning of my mum. She’s not to bad today but really needs to move on from living in sheltered accommodation with visiting carers to living in a care home but this really isn’t the time to do it. No way of getting an assessment plus with the virus it’s not the time to be in a care home either. Oh well fingers crossed.
Anyway it’s a lovely day , the sun is shining and lawn needs mowing . Afterward I think it’s time for long walk with my daughter then maybe a nice glass of white wine . 😀

I feel we all need a little good news. As said before we have several frontline medical people in the village. The latest report is five days ago Blackburn hospital had 140 Covid-19 patients. Yesterday it was down to 103. Yes, down.

I know it's one hospital but the theory is this - from a doctor. Nothing official. At the time of lockdown the north was 2/3 weeks behind London. The feeling is, perhaps, just perhaps, getting lockdown when we did has had a greater impact the further north one goes.

Cumbria has a high rate per head of population but I've spoken with an ICU doctor who said this is largely due to the local demographic.

Who knows. Something to cling to.
