The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Oh @Dirk a big happy 65th to you.
One good thing about lockdown.......I won't have to suffer watching you stuff your face

We've had our first frost!

I think to many people feel self righteous today and will take any opportunity to have their say.

Don't see anything wrong with that Dave.

I dropped one of my grandsons off at work. It was quite foggy in places.

My electric is going off soon as they are doing some work on the lines and won't be back on until around 3.30. No sign of it going off yet. There were no vans on the lane or anyone else. We shall see if they do anything or even just turn up.

A beautiful day is 28c in the shade and not a cold one with a hard frost freezing your nuts off

A double bloomer day for you then.

Didn't know you ride one of those.

Aye.
Picture of mine, the day after buying it, on the cycling myths thread. Bought in Irlam, ridden into, then through, Manchester city centre, and then over here.

Hmmm not sure what happened then?

Anyone seen a bus? A big one that looks like it might recently have hit a Paul? Geez, I feel like it reversed back for another go.

Woke at 2.00am finally fell asleep again around 4.30 and have been in and out of sleep for last five hours. I seem to spend most of those hours contemplating if anyone would notice if I didn't get out of bed.......for several days. Brighter now I've had coffee.

Today? Visit LBS for bike update. Collect meds. Drop Travel Mug off for return. Allotment work.

Can you post it here to save me wading through 200+ posts?

I have risen!

Nothing has changed overnight - America still has not announced whether they've chosen the nutter or the dementia patient as their leader. Meanwhile, the hunt for an old bomb shelter carries on.

Back at Drago Towers its quite foggy. Either that or my cataracts are playing up.

@Dirk Happy Birthday. 🍾🥂🎂

Most important. Did your government sponsored beer tokens arrive? Or are you too young? Both a plus and minus there!

Taken the following day.

@12boy - yes it's OK as you ride a bike and grow your own vegetables you can come. I recommend Lancashire and you can't go far wrong in Yorkshire either. The two best places I have lived.

@Dave7 - yes Mrs D should do this, it's a special situation. Yesterday Mrs P went to see granddaughter. She did have a cuddle but she truly went to help with breast feeding. Mrs P is a highly qualified Infant Feeding Specialist and went to help resolve a genuine problem.

The eye investigation? I have a glaucoma check every year. I hate the pressure test with the air puff but those machines have been replaced with ones which don't require a puff of air to measure pressure. You'll also get an eye drop which is a local anaesthetic, I doubt you will feel a thing.

@classic33 - very nice. Thanks.
