The Retirement Thread

[BoldonLad]

Morning all... A bit of a damp start, looks like there might be rain later so it'll be feet up and watch the tennis this afternoon.

@PaulSB These might be a use to you. Mrs GM was coming out of Morrisons a few weeks ago and some chap put 4 of these self testing kits in her trolly. They are complete testing kits where you do the test and get your results 30 minutes later. You get 7 swobs so you can test regularly. I'm going to do a test later because I've a hospital appointment soon which I don't want to miss. I think you can send off for them.

Our local pharmacy was dishing them out free, last week, when Mrs @BoldonLad went to collect her prescription.

What helmet for...




... 400 year old cottages in Devon!!!

I am in danger of killing myself in this place. I have been here less than 24 hours but I have already smacked my head into low-flying doorways 6 or 7 times!

I'm being slightly jokey about it, but it is a real worry. Warfarin makes me about 2.5 times more likely to suffer a brain bleed from a head injury.

It is SO quiet here... I woke up in the middle of the night and was disturbed by a strange... silence!

Whereabouts in Devon?

He is not!!

Household insurance quote for renewal arrived today. £3.00 increase on last year. Now that's a company which knows how to look after customers. I'm happy, got good cover, all bikes included worldwide and new for old.

Why would I bother looking around.

Well done Hastings Direct. 👏👏👏

Hello @numbnuts , pleased to hear you eventually got the car issue sorted, and, that you are back with us, even if you are being rather quiet

Thanks

We went away just as my strawberries were ripening.
Managed to salvage a fair number. More to come.

One of my tater plants looked dead, but I managed to get this little lot of beauties out of the tub.

But he is an awful tv commentator though.

True but I do love the way mangles the English language sometimes and compared to carton kirby he is terrific 😂😂😂😂

Sean Kelly and the late David Duffield, one of the truly great comedy partnerships .

It certainly makes it a lot easier, I did a test this afternoon and got a negative result 30 minutes later

I like this.

Duffers was truly wonderful. If the racing was a bit slow, or nothing really happening he would regale the audience with tales of the local food and drink from whatever region they had eaten in the previous day.

I can't remember who, and it's many pages back, but one of our number wanted a Netflix film recommendation. We've just watched:

Yesterday

It's a wonderful, heart-warming, funny film by Danny Boyle. It should make people of our age smile.

Do watch.

Okay, you watched it yesterday but what was the name of the film?
