The Retirement Thread

[screenman]

I feel physically normal........

What does that feel like?

 

[GM]

Morning all....A specsaver appointment at 9, that's my excuse for being up at silly o'clock. Quite nice though, might have to get up at this time more often! 🌈

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Looks like it'll be a warm one today.

 

[PaulSB]

What does that feel like?

Bog eyed and in need of coffee.......

Good morning fellow retirees,

Daughter got in touch yesterday to let us know the event we were going to in Tiree has been cancelled 😭
Entries carried over until next year, so looking on the bright side it's another year to get fitter🏃

On a different note, I had an email from the dentist yesterday, it emphasised how the safety of staff and patients was paramount so to that end they were introducing a temporary PPE surcharge of either £7.50 or £35 per treatment depending on what equipment they use to treat you. 😯😯😯

Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🏃🚲🚶🌞

Is this private, NHS or both?

Oh yes the arthritis in my left hip isn't good this morning.

No need for that language, it was a civil question.

Up at "lovely o'clock" ... The girls have contact with their mother on Tuesdays ... 0830hrs to 2030hrs ... it's our day of bliss ... no fighting, screaming, tantrums and the constant call of "grandad, grandad, grandad ....."
R & R for all parties ..... Many thanks to Rotherham Social Care for providing supervision for the day .... RSC don't get many thanks ..
I'm working this morning until 12 so will get home to a chilled out Julie and Connor ....
We love the girls .. but at 10 and 8 they are a handful ......
An afternoon of Zen Cycle Maintenance beckons .....

Just took another look Paul, it says " Private patients not on plans" it then goes on to say that it expects the NHS to cover the costs for NHS patients.

My 1929 edition of the Ladybird Book of Boys says that all the boys get 2 plumstones at a certain age. I never understood it before.

I well remember that happening. I was a late developer so older than 2. Sadly my parents had not warned me and it frightened the life out of me. I wont go into detail but did find that I could push them back up

 

[Landsurfer]

I feel physically normal........

For many, many years i was a heavy drinker, and cyclist.
Usually 12 -16 units of alcohol per day ..always in the evenings.. I was rarely "drunk" but often "fuzzy" .....
I've not had any alcohol since the 11 of April 2020 ... and ..

I feel physically normal ....

I feel great ......

I thought opticians were not working ??

 

[Dave7]

Morning all.
No idea what today will bring.
A visit to Morrisons was planned but MrsD woke up saying that is the last thing she feels like doing.......so that is a reprieve.
Again I was up at stupid O'clock but am sat here searching for my mojo

 

[PaulSB]

Good morning everyone. I have a mojo for sale ...... message me if you're interested.

Unsure about today. It's very windy in the village so will be blowing a gale on the top road. Sun keeps disappearing.
