The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Sunday lunch was excellent.

Mrs Dirk is looking a little jaundiced.

 

[Dave7]

I have just been out and watered the bedding and pot plants.
Couldn't even imagine doing that 3 hours ago.
Shakes and sweating have nearly gone and I am (obviously) able to walk.
Still in PJs though as I think a shower would be pushing it.
I am still determined to phone the Doc tomorrow and get it sorted.
@Dirk .......no jealousy here my friend. A cracker with spread cheese would be my limit.

Sounds like you need more proper beer.

Got back and cut the lawns.
At least I won't come back to a jungle now.
Already looking forward to a pie in the Union Inn, Moretonhampstead.

Should I be worried? I don't like that expression
A neighbour brought it along with some runner beans.......very kind of them.

Sounds more like a job for a Guinness or several.

Not a bad idea.
I have some cans of draught Guinness which I am sure are calling to me.

Guinness is good for you, I'm sure you'll feel better after one or two with your meal today.

Meal??? One cracker!!
TBH I cannot fancy anything..... I know I should but my stomach turns thinking of it.
Plenty of iron in Guinness though.

 

[PaulSB]

I thought of iron this morning and maybe that is worth trying.
What I am asking for (with no success) is a blood test to determine the problem.

Have you considered asking for an appointment with the practice nurse? When I have my annual review I simply ask for her to get bloods done.

With my medical history I got bloods done in July without a whisper. Can I suggest you make sure the receptionist looks at your history - you may be noted as someone who should be seen in this period. I am and this is why my bloods were taken.

Hey gang..... we all get a chance to see Dirk on TV tonight.

Never thought of that.......a good idea though.
Thanks.

I have changed my mind. Cleaning my oven wasn't the most exciting thing I have done today.

I have Installed Linux onto my laptop. OMG it is fantastic. So fast. So much better than that Windows god awful crap.

My laptop is just like new it's going so fast. I am a happy bunny. 👍
