The Retirement Thread

Dont forget our stick of rock. Its got to be big enough foe us all to have a chunk.

Have we all still got our own teeth to eat it? You can sook it I suppose if you haven't.

Haven't looked yet. Given that I don't even have contents insurance my bikes definitely aren't covered at the moment anyway! What I've saved on insurance would probably buy me a new bike anyway.

Yep, heard that argument before. I get the logic but know it wouldn't work for me. I would need to put the premium cost to one side to make it work.

Off to the GP tomorrow to see the phlebb...flub...flebb...blood nurse.

Ask if you can have the sample back.... PaulSB will gladly accept it now he has found that he is a vampire.

Mrs P banned me from hard, sticky sweets after my last toffee cost north of £200 at the dentist!

 

[Dave7]

Morning all, looking nice outside today, certainly worth getting out of bed for.

You and I must be on different planets....its horrible here.

Where is Metropolis to you Welshie, we cannot wait to get back over your side of the country.

Newtown. About 7 or 8 miles from welshpool

Good morning everyone. Still blowing an absolute hoolie outside, +/- 45mph I'd estimate. Forecast is to drop to 22 and only 16 at our cafe destination!!!! Decision to be taken at 8.00 but I can see this wind completely dampening my already waning enthusiasm. This lockdown business keeps getting harder.

A few small jobs need doing on the allotment. If Mrs P decides on paint colour I can emulsion.

I think a doze is now in order.

Today I'm one year older - 66. Did we all feel it was unimaginable in the heady days of youth?

Congrats Paul. Aged 66 you are officially entitled to a doze

I will have a suck of my piece then you can have a suck.....then pass it on to Mo

Must be Weetabix time I think.

Morning all.
You may (maybe not) recall the myself, MrsD and my mate all got flu in November/December......it lasted till March. My mate, who is a big, fit guy, turned into pneumonia.
Well, come April-ish we all wondered if we had actually had C19.
Not to bore you but, even now, most mornings me and MrsD have a good kip but get out of bed feeling weak and shaky. Today I am sat here sweating profusely.
Anyway.........on radio 5 they were just discussing 'after Covid 19 fatigue syndrome'. I am getting more convinced that is what we had.
Not sure wether to do anything about it or not

Not sure whether you can request an antibody test or not? It would certainly be useful to know if you've actually had it and that's the reason for the fatigue so you can rule anything else out. It does seem to leave after effects according to the odd thing I've read or watched on tv.

Just finished mine Now for a coffee.

I have a problem with Weetabix with the crumbs going everywhere when removing them from the packet.

There was definetly something nasty going round before this thing kicked off, I had it and so did several of our friends, so I wouldn't be surprised if we've had it.

I know! I have to carefully open the packet over the sink them try and get them into the bowl and shake the crumbs in too, but next time you go back to the packet, the crumbs are magically back!

I seem to recall @screenman getting it around late October as I blamed him for giving it to me.
I am sat here with the fire on, cold, jacket on but sweating. Not nice.
TBH symptoms are slightly less each week so I keep thinking it will eventually go completely.
Not been to the Docs for the obvious reasons.
