The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Part of us is thinking that way.
What i don't know/understand is........if we don't go in the same room are we safe ? Or could she leave "spores" in the rooms ?
1. She has a 5 year old boy.
2. Her Dad has been living with her for the last week.
Anyway...... decision made......as I reply to you we have decided to cancel

Did they not say that the virus can be on hard surfaces for quite some time? I think you are wise to do without her services in the meantime.

Now there is a point.
Due to MrsDs bad back (plus our health stuff) we chose to have a cleaner. Excellent decision as, being young, she gets so much done in 2 hours.
However, the Covid situation is making us question the wisdom.
We have a conservatory so our decision at the moment is........
We stay in the conservatory.
We leave her money at the door.
She just gets on with everything.
Just hope we have made the right decision.

I have a friend who effectively does the same thing. She doesn't see it as a problem. I don't either provided you both feel comfortable with it health wise.

Its done.
We will miss her
But I will miss Covid less.

She confirmed that she has been cleared to do her job.
The rules are weird as during the 1st 'lock down' she wasn't allowed to work.

Same applies to my friend's cleaner.

Well hello everyone. Wet, cold, misty. Woke at 1.00am and was wide awake till 2.30am but then slept like a baby till 07.45. Weird.

My quads are very stiff. Apart from some gentle stretches today's morning exercise will be limited to upper body and weights. 🙂

There's a mountain of ironing to do. A walk to be done and online exercise class this evening. Life is just full of excitement.

 

[PaulSB]

@Dave7 good decision if it makes you feel more comfortable.

Been looking up with bio of one of the advisors listed in the credits of Traces, Professor Niamh Nic Daeid.
Her bio on the Dundee University site states

Professor Niamh Nic Daeid is Director of the award winning Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science (LRCFS)...with specialisms including fire investigation, clandestine drug chemistry and explosives.

It doesn’t say whether she likes cake.

Its done.
We will miss her
But I will miss Covid less.

So we may see you and Mrs Dave7 on TV after Covid . One of those programmes where a cleaning team go in and clear a hoarders home .

Morning Giant soggy grey sponge hanging over Desford this morning Rain forecast for the whole day

Stay safe

 

[Paulus]

Good morning all.
Went to bed last night when there was a thick frost outside.
Wake up this morning to a grey wet day with rain forecast for most of the day.

I am a bit peeved with Amazon this morning. I have had an email saying my bluetooth speaker has been delivered to the householder.
No it hasn't. 😡
I have already been onto them about this, but can only get onto the computerised chat system at the present time.

Hey ho.

Another busy day in paradise

 

[Drago]

Ooh, its a dreich day.

 

[gavroche]

Bonjour. Wet , dull and misty so far. I think I will do a bit of housework today like: vacuuming and dusting .
Cup of coffee first while I work up the enthusiasm.

Bloody hell....letter from the council saying the permit for the garden recycling waste bin is £40 this year. Lucky if I put it out twice with the clippings from my shrubs. I’d be as well to try and take it to the skip myself.

When I got up this morning I thought all the clocks in the house must be wrong. It was pitch black outside until about half past eight when I went out to do some shopping.
People have been panic buying mushrooms again and no longlife milk. The lorry has broken down and will not be here until late afternoon but that should not affect stock early in the morning when there were only a few shoppers, mainly workers getting something for lunch.
Topped up my fuel tank which took very little but mpg is not good due to the current driving pattern with no long runs. The computer tells me I have 500 miles to go before refill but normally this would be at least 700.
A light plane has just gone past towards Oban which is probably the same one I saw earlier heading out.
Looks like it is yellow so probably air ambulance been at Tiree. Visibility is not good with low cloud and light rain so probably flying lower than usual and keeping to the Sound to avoid bumping into mountains.

We have no collections here so anything has to be taken to the dump yourself. We used to get an annual skip free of charge for the whole street but that stopped a long time ago.
