The Retirement Thread

[oldwheels]

The weather gods are playing games with me. The only time I can get out safely with the trike is early morning and I prefer not to get too wet as the trike lives in the car. This is due to stupid tourists who spend their time looking up at the sky hoping to see a sea eagle instead of paying attention to other road users. Every morning recently it has been pouring rain but by early afternoon it is nice and sunny but as said too dodgy on single track roads. This morning I wakened at about 5 oclock and looking out it was nice and dry tho' the sky was very red in a northerly direction. Back to bed for another hour but did not in fact waken again until 7 oclock when looking out it was pouring rain and has continued all day.
Hardly worth getting out of bed these days.

Well thats nice to know....... not!!!
Just had my eyes tested to be told I could be totally blind in a few years .
Its a long technical name but there is a gap between various parts of the eye that allows liquid to circulate and drain. That gap is closing up.
She said, if not treated, I would get severe pain followed by blindness.
She is booking me into hospital where laser surgery should sort it.

Sad news, my best wishes for it to be sorted.

hahaha ........I am exactly the same Screenman. Just had a coffee and 2 tablets.
Just trying to decide on a walk or back to bed.
Sun is coming up. Hard to believe rain is forecast for tomorrow......then again on Monday.
BBQ planned for later. Just us 2 so a burger** and (our favourite) fish fingers.
I have some jobs planned but my headache says differently.

Looks nice though.
Think you are a bit too young (and in the wrong area) to recall the proper pea soupers of the 70s ???
I recall a bad one when I drove home from work at 1700 with a mate walking in front to guide me away from the pavement.
