On the water glossed thing, brilliant, only slight problem is the top of my mouth is a tad sore and the bathroom is soaking wet, apart from that the teeth feel fanatastic. So tip is, take your finger off of the control button prior to removing it from your mouth, so not point it on full pressure at the top of your mouth.
Which one did you buy? I'm still contemplating this.

Good morning. It's wet, cold, windy, 7⁰ so may light the woodburner for the first time this autumn.

The alternatives for today are:
  • Do nothing
  • Housework
  • Aldi
  • Change beds.
It is going to be a battle to avoid the first item on the list. Lethargy is approaching. I have a bar shift at the social club 4.00 - 5.30pm but given the weather will be surprised if anyone comes in.

All this talk of Swisskit, never heard of it, put me in mind of Cadbury's Flake adverts. Googled and they're all around back to the 60s. How on earth did they get away with it???

Good morning fellow retirees,
I'm on the bus heading into town, one other passenger plus the driver so far. I've got my running kit on under my clothes so I won't frighten the horses when I disrobe in the Park.
I'll chuck my clothes in my backpack and wear it on the 5k, that way I'll be able to say " I'd have finished ahead of you if it wasn't for the backpack" 😁
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🏃‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏊‍♂️👍

Martini adverts, anywhere, any place, any time. When we first started close friends used to call us the martini couple. :rolleyes:

Barnet,
Good morning all fellow retirees.
A bit of a nothing day today.
Although, MrsP is up for an award from the BVNA,( British veterinary nursing association )
For services during the pandemic lockdown for working at the rehoming charity throughout. She was nominated by one of her ex trainees from 35 years ago. It's all happening on Zoom this evening. 🍾
Other than that, ther will be the usual eclectic mix of dog walking, a bit of bike riding, a bit of tidying up the garden, the tomato plants have been stripped of the last few green tomatoes, so just a bit of pottering.
Another day in paradise beckons :cuppa:

Morning all, up bright and early this fine day as I am taking Pam out for a meal, well brekkie at Doncaster market to be precise, then a quick wizz around a few shops before the rest of the population get up.
It has just (genuinely) come up on local google news that a guy was arrested at Warrington bus station for having a wizz in public.........so be careful which shops you wizz around.

Filthy day here.
Rained all yesterday.
Battered down all night
Still raining now :sad:
And its dark.
A proper winters day.
I didn't wake till 0700 so didn't bother with Aldi........ I will only go when its quiet eg 0800. So I got back into bed and listened to S.O.T.S.
Not feeling too bad today** I am not walking in this lot so its an enforced chill day.
**I am actually feeling hungry so might try a bacon on toast butty.

Wet, cold and windy. May improve later but the front garden may have to wait for another day to get sorted.
One of my neighbours has got a bidy in who is a fanatical gardener and spent days working in their small front garden. Now the only colour and a decent display is in my garden with a totally lazy gardener. Minor triumph.
