The Retirement Thread

Now that they know what they can expect after the jab,they will be prepared for the next one. They do have an underlying medical condition that effects their immune system so I daresay that didn't help any.

I have no doubt they will be ready with the paracetamol.

I was fine apart from a sore arm around where the jab was, especially as MrsD kept elbowing it during the night. 2 tablets sorted that.
MrsD had no affects at all........she was tired but that could be the virus.

Still a gale here and heavy rain forecast but not yet arrived. Temp is 4.5C outside here but FB warnings just out that the Craignure road is very dodgy with snow. This is probably about 10 plus miles from here. We often seem to have a micro climate in this corner.
Trees down and I was planning on going up a farm road with small trees so hopefully it should be ok.
On the subject of covid vaccine. I had no adverse reaction at all apart from a slightly tender bit where the needle went in.
My text subscription for Calmac alerts had in fact expired but they seem to have stopped warning you of this. The only indication is a lack of text messages but now that it is reinstated there is a stream warning me of cancellations. The small Lochaline/Fishnish ferry seems to mostly keep going but I have been on sometimes when landing seems unlikely. Instruction from the crew is " When I say go you go and do not under any circumstances stop". Somebody did once get nervous and slow down too much and the ferry slipped back a bit and they ended in the water.

Morning all...I got to say, Mrs GM has a great sense of humour she always out wits me with the funny Valentine cards....

...very appropriate!

As a treat it's my turn to cook Sunday lunch!

Have a great day folks!

What tablets did you give MrsD to stop her elbowing you?

Wow...I am such a guppy. For a while I thought the Republicans would do the right thing and impeach the odious one.
I arose this morning to let the Aged Pooch out and get the paper and found her squatted in the snow unable to or unwilling to move. It is sunny out and looks like it may have been warmer than the previous few days. I picked her up and let her sit on her bed while her breakfast was prepared which she did eat, fortunately. Coffee made and the tablet turned on and the weather checked. No wonder her little toes got too cold to walk....it was -31 C with a wind chill of -42. Letting the faucets drip paid off....no pipes frozen last night. By the end of the week we will be back to 4C.
Dave7, I surely hope your wife will recover completely and at least she has you to love and care for her. Same goes for Drago and DaveR, of course.
Feliz dia del amor y amistad to all of you and yours.

And we are back to warmer and decidedly wetter weather.

I had hardly any reaction to the jab, heavy arm and stiff wrist immediately after I had it and a little tired for a few days, and that was it.

Are you sure that the stiff wrist was down to the jab Dave? 😄

Don't forget the "heavy arm".

I've made a very good banana loaf. Tried and tested. The moussaka looks and smells delicious around 7.00pm we will find out.

Mrs P is watching Ireland v France and still chuntering on about Scotland's defeat yesterday. She needs to try being a Rovers fan - at least 46 if onlys a year compared with just 5 for the odd shaped balls people.

Anyone got a spare room?

Don't moan.
You were one who said it was cold.

It's dark, wet and windy so I'm researching new routes. I know I blather on about Lancashire, hills, climbs and what great cycling country I'm lucky to have. I've ridden all of this route but never joined up this way - it's on the summer list. Have a little watch, it's the reason I love to climb. The only way is up! Scroll down a little for the three minute video.

Trough of Bowland plus a bit!!
