The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Well I'm a bit ancient and can remember getting a bit excited when we got our first washing machine from Comet many many years ago.

haha......as we did. The whole family (all 4 of us) sat mesmerised as we watched the washing spinning around

Seen the comet yet?

Saw it on Sunday on Anglesey.

Yesterday the weather forecast said that today was going to be a bright sunny day and about 19 deg. This is in truth what we have

I’m so bored I’m sitting reading guff on the sugar vs artificial sweetener arguments. So much conflicting stories of health scares with some of them it’s maybe just as well to use normal sugar but try and reduce the amount a bit I think.

Is it just a natter or one of those " Zoom/ FaceTime" type calls?
Either way I hope you get things resolved.
( if the doc is being less than helpful you could mention that you have certain skills...)

It's just a phone call. Was due at 0900hrs and the phone still hasn't rung.

Bonjour les amis. Wet here this morning and on top of it all, my wife announced that we are going to Devon next Monday for a week because she is concerned about her daughter who is feeling depressed with the pressure of going through a divorce with a husband who is a complete a**hole.
Not looking forward to the drive there with the M6 and M5 and 50 mph speed limits for miles.
I think I will be stripping wallpaper off in the dining room today as four rolls of new ones are on the table, waiting to be put on .
Have a good day everyone.

My Good Lady was due a phone call from the doctors yesterday morning, she finally got the call at teatime. They're still messing her about with her medication, we've got to go down the pharmacy this morning.

Forecast was right today. Heavy rain but no wind. Down to the pharmacy for meds as need to go early to get parked. While down there met an old friend {in both senses } who asked if I had heard of his adventures. During lockdown we lose touch with people but he had been helicoptered off with a heart attack and then when recovered had another and then a trip to Glasgow with as he put it "lights and music" to the Southern General where he died during the night but brought back and now has a pacemaker. Still driving around in his LWB Transit.
Bins not emptied as both lorries broken down and the holiday house opposite waited till I moved my car and stuck a bin in the middle of the space. A few good kicks put it back against their gate and it has now vanished. They may have consulted the owner of the house who got a verbal kicking from my neighbour for the antisocial behaviour of some of his tenants.

Mr WD has been looking at me in a very strange way. He finally plucked up the courage to ask me why I was walking around wearing only 1 shoe.

"It's because I am using my sewing machine" I said. He looked more than a little dumbfounded.

I can't use the foot pedal while I am wearing anything on my feet accept socks, so I took my 1 shoe off. I didn't explain that to him so he is still looking more than a little puzzled. I might put him out of his misery......then again.
