The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

I do not wish to read about your tomatoes
Mine are growing well but still decidedly green.

Takes longer than you might think for ripening to start.

So I eight minutes early at the meet point. This is unheard of. Now hanging around waiting for people. It's brightening up.

Update !!!!!
Got through to the Docs.
After much arguing I have a triage phone appointment "sometimes this morning".
They did NOT want to do it and insisted I do it online. I said "get me on the list or I will phone 999".
At that point she kindly agreed to put me on the list.
I have been with that surgery maybe 40 years and have to fight like this.......Covid or not I think its a discrace.

I speak to them every day......does that not help ?

Looks like we will have a downpour soon. Going very dark here.

And we have . Soft rain as the Irish call it.

Unfortunately its the way with a lot of doctors these days, I've had some serious fights with my Good ladies doctor trying to get her the treatment she needs . It shouldn't be that way but it is.

I see it's forecast to come on here at some point too...........depending on which forecast I go by it could be anytime from an hour to four hours away

 

[Mo1959]

Think I'll wander round to the supermarket before it comes on. Needing a few things.

My mojo is seriously weak this morning, I've put my ride back to tomorrow. Its dry at the moment but was raining earlier and is forecast to rain this afternoon so it seems a sensible idea.

I was about to put some rubbish out, but I spotted this fella sat on the top of the bin so it can wait a while.

A 32 mile round trip to the dump has been completed, I love getting rid of rubbish. On a more important note I am changing the shade of grey on the garage floor this week.

Morning. Bit overcast at first but brightening up now. I had a lovely early wander along a quiet back road then cut through the golf course and back home. I noticed the swallows are starting to gather and maybe thinking about heading home soon.

Good morning. That’s more swallows than I’ve seen this year.

Maybe they're not tomatoes!
