The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

We have just had dinner - take away because we have no
sink
drainer
hob
oven
or dishwasher

Yup kitche is still "being done". The plan was for the sink to be in today but it was late arriving
the hob (induction) is all wired in but has also been flagged as arriving late so that will be tomorrow as well

which is all fair enough - they are supposed to be taking all week

anyway - I had chicken curry from the chippy

only thing is - my tooth is missing presumed swallowed!!!


OK - it has been loose for a month or so and I think it was a crown - but it would ahppily move up and down a few mm
recently it has been a bit more wobbly sideway so I was thinking about going to teh dentist

but now there seems no point
I suppose it will work its way out eventually but I am NOT trying to get it back!!!

Just hope it doesn't bite you on the way out. Explain the marks could be awkward, to say the least.

Nepalese takeaway for us tonight. I tried the date and ginger naan which was exquisite. Enough left over for dinner tomorrow too😎

After extensive testing and a great expense to myself ( you can thank me later) I have discovered that beer works better than Paracetamol or Ibuprofen at relieving back pain.

Not sure why it has underlined all that,it may be because it was important.

No, of course not.

Well.......it seems I have bought another motorcycle.

It's a mid 1970s Montesa Cota 247 that needs a bit of fettling. I've been looking for another project and fancied a trials bike - with a view to riding in some local trials later in the year.
I'll have to join the Exmoor motor club and apply for a competition licence.
It's been 50 years since I last rode in a motorcycle trial.
What could possibly go wrong?

None at all, and it has been extremely bad all day.

You're "blackballed" at the club.
