The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

We've been for a walk, put my Good lady in her wheelchair and wriggled it out the house, neither house or garden is wheelchair friendly, then spent an hour pushing her round locally, it's a lovely day for a walk, its a shame I couldn't go further but what we did was enjoyable.

A pleasure to be out isn't it

Have you seen this?

Yes.
Sad news.
I met Chris Vincent at our motorcycle club around 1995 at a 'Sidecar Night'. Had a chat and a pint with him.

Nice walk in the sunshine up a farmtrack. Frog spawn in the ditches and catkins out.
Frogs are found in what I would think are unexpected places sometimes. I my MB days I followed a track up to the summit of a hill miles from anywhere. Near the top was a small pool full of frogs frolicking.
Been no stories about the misdeeds of settlers recently. Incidentally I notice on the ferry that they all read the Daily Wail with it's tartan fringe.
Anyway on FB a local who's family stretches back several generations here advertised asking about job vacancies in retail. A settler came on and advised her that she would certainly not get a job unless she changed her avatar which hinted at allegiance to a political cause he obviously did not support. The mod who normally looks after this page was watching rugby all afternoon and was appalled to find blood and guts everywhere when he returned. The offender is now barred from the site.
They forget or probably do not realise that they are living in a foreign country.

One of my lasses bought me a PitPat for my birthday - its like a Garmin watch for dogs. Fascinating to see how many miles hes covered and all his activity stats.

You'll have to reward the little footsoldier for a job well done, don't forget to spoil yourself for your birthday , lockdown birthdays deserve extra treats

Must be a long time since those bloomers got fresh air.

I've had a good day. A good ride in lovely spring sunshine and stop with decent takeaway coffee. Took 30 minutes to get served though so doubt we will return on a weekend. Will still go on weekdays.

My friend who isn't coping with life clearly isn't coping so I'm pleased we rode together. Fresh air and exercise is always good Not much chat though.

My shed is cleaned out, rearranged and new** shelves installed. Pleased with this.

** New = IKEA shelves repurposed for a third time. Not sure they'll survive a fourth repurposing!!

Please give us an honest opinion on this Pitpat in a little while as I have read conflicting reviews on it. Your report will be important to me if I ever decide to get one for Molly. Many thanks.
