The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good morning. Up at 5.30 so a decent sleep. Dull, damp and grey but Warner than yesterday. Virtual Cafe Stop with the oldies at 5.00pm

I have some seedlings to transplant, I was going to say prick out but thought better of it.

Also have to build and fit a door to the fruit cage plus a few finishing touches. The local blackbirds look pissed off already.

A trip to the local micro-brewery to collect spent hops for the allotment this afternoon.

I'm so excited...........

@Dave7 hope you're feeling better today. I meant to comment last night and say I would go for extraction simply to relieve the pain. Obviously if it will leave a very obvious gap you have a dilemma.

I imagine there is a real reluctance to do any drilling due to potential splash etc. I had a crown fitted the first day of lockdown. Each time the dentist needed adjust the surface he took it out before polishing down. Usually this is done with the crown in place.

Good luck.

Morning all fellow members, a dull start with more rain forecast which is going to continue all day.
Out with muttley shortly and then out on the bike to the greengrocers for some fruit and vegetables.
I am a little down at the moment as a very good friend of mine died suddenly the other day. I have known him for46 years and he only retired 3 years ago, he was only 65.
Still, life goes on.
Stay safe everyone.

Could you not just buy some online and drop them in yoursel? Depending on size and quality they start from £20 each, must admit I always build my own feather edge.

Local B & Q has them at a similar price, they're 6 foot by 5 foot, a bit big for me to handle, I've already got back problems so don't want to aggravate things.

Morning all

Struggling to find stuff to do now.
There's about a days work to finish off the rear garden, but I can't really crack on much as I need to get down to a garden centre for stuff.
I can do a bit more digging and that's about it for now.

That was a rather chilly walk. Really felt quite raw and even walking uphill I never got warmed up.

Only had about a litre of paint so just a quick lick.

It's 9am and I'm already so bored that watching the dustmen go by was an interesting diversion...

I'm going for a walk down to the village to waste an hour or so.

Wow. What a huge and very neat and tidy garage. Room for well over another dozen bikes there!

Personally, not qualified to answer. But, my oldest daughter, had Crown come off yesterday. She spoke to dentist who advised she cement it back in place. She is married, with own house, so, have not actually seen her, but, as far as I known, she drove to dentist surgery, was given the cement, and, has now Re-attached the crown herself. Successfully, so far.

The thing preventing me doing that is that the crown is hanging by what seems to be a thin thread at just one point. Last night I tried to gently ease it away but it's stuck firmly to the gum at that point and it hurt (feels as though I will pull some of the gum away if I do it).
Explained that to the dentist and she said, in that case leave it.
I have asked her if there is anywhere private I could go or could A&E help.
Everything is done on line.............there is no way I can even speak to someone.
Vaey frustrating

Ours are due later. Green bin day. Oh the excitement.

Ours are due later. Green bin day. Oh the excitement.

And ours are - black bin day here.
Do we have to stand on the doorstep and clap, or have a minutes silence?
I'm confused with all these heroes around.

That's incredibly neat, how do you find anything? 😁
