The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Been out in my back garden with a paintbrush taped to the end of a very long stick, marking branches with red paint, in order to aid the tree cutter tomorrow.
My neck hurts now!

We all got a candle at church this morning as it's Candlemass Day 🕯️
either that or they can see a power cut coming shortly

I have a load of washing in the machine so of course the sun has disappeared.

So… it’s your fault that it has clouded over? 😊

 

[SpokeyDokey]

I have one on my nose Have been using Chemo cream, its burnt all the skin off, apparently its supposed to !

it fair smarts, nice when I get going on the bike and the cold air takes the heat out of it

A friend has just had four small areas of his face treated similarly. Including one patch in the corner of an eye. Looked yukky!

All seems to have worked and the Consultant is happy.

Best wishes re your treatment.

Well, it was raining a bit earlier and I am pleased to tell you that the sun has come over to us now.

"Do you really need all that carp?"

Possibly. He drove a Morris Traveller and would probably ask the same about a modern car.

Out of that list the only essential things are lights. The rest someone has dreamt up and decided we need them.

Maybe it will move down to us.

Hmmmmm.....someone who lives in this house has purchased a bottle of L'Oréal Men Expert Hydra Energetic sport shower gel. It may have been me. I don't know, it seems out of character.

This stuff should come with a hazard warning ⚠️ I can only compare it with the terrifying experience of applying Deep Heat to one's back and later having a shower You'll only ever make that mistake once!!!! 🤣

He tried cream first but it did not work.
The bits were cut out of my shin and a skin graft taken from the ,back of my calf was applied.
Now twelve months later all is well.

may be I will get a whole new nose grafted on, wonder if I get a choice, one of those French/Roman aquiline ones would be good - LOL

did anyone see Wolf Hall, the French Executioner (ann boleyn) I would have one like that, could have his job too, lopping royal heads, that woud be right up my street

Good morning. A beautiful day in Lancashire. I've been awake for hours, this is not good but I have dealt with a lot of stuff that needed doing.

Next on the agenda is my exercise routine, a visit to #2 son who has IT problems and then I need to pick up shelving for my new storage facility. We had friends round for the inauguration of our summer house last night. This meant sitting in there for an hour or so, wrapped up against the cold, sipping Prosecco under star light......well all right a couple of phones! I need to get some lighting.

After some discussion we've decided instead of a summer house and shed we have "The Pavilion" with an adjacent storage facility.

So - a posh shed and attached shed??
