The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Morning all, I started to some others parts of the forum over the weekend, some of them over there are right miserable buggers. Stay safe, stay healthy and stay happy all you good people.

Stay away from the darkside.

Good morning. It's damp. It's a bit miserable and a bit bleh here.

Stay safe folks.

Good day fellow people with lazy, enjoyable and slightly daft lives. Are we all well? Pleased to see you have been well behaved in my absence. I've noted two of you went out and didn't leave a note to say where you were going or when you would be back. Just this once I'll let you both off but only this once.........

Do we all have interesting and exciting days planned?

'Tis grey and breezy and we are promised two days of rain. Last week, after consulting the forecast 🤫 I offered to decorate the back room The race is on to finish by tomorrow night - sun is shining on Wednesday. Sorry I can't manage anything more exciting or interesting.

Oh, yes. My body doesn't hurt in the way I thought it might after yesterday.

It's just started to rain here so I might have a slobbing day reading and watching a film or 3. and not course plenty of will be drunk as well.

Morning all

Just started raining here on the edge of Dartmoor.
Nipping in to Tavistock this morning for supplies then probably lunching at the Peter Tavy Inn at.......er......Peter Tavy. One of our favourite pubs.
Might be an afternoon watching films in the van by the looks of the weather.

Good morning fellow retirees,

A little bit of trepidation as I have a dentist appointment this morning.
About a year ago I started to experience sensitivity in an upper right molar.
I mentioned it at my next checkup and the offending site was X rayed. This revealed that root canal work might be needed.
The dentist advised leaving well alone until it became troublesome.
A few weeks ago it became very painful for a while. I contacted the dentist and they did a phone triage before offering an appointment.
So today I have to go to the rear of the building and phone them. They will come out and take my temperature. If all is OK then I will be taken in for treatment. They said that no toilets are available 🤔
As often happens, once my appointment was booked the pain subsided. Fingers crossed it goes OK 🤞🤞
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🏃‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚶‍♀️🏊‍♂️

I've just had my 3rd. Wonder how many I could manage

We can be on competition with each other. I've only had 1 so far.

Pardon? You'll need to speak up as I have cotton wool in my lugs I'm going to put Otex in the lugoles for a few days to see if I maybe have hardened wax that's making my tinnitus worse. In the past I have used, or should I say over used cotton buds, so maybe I have been pushing the wax further in? Worth a try.

Hope it goes ok. Must be a year since I was last there. Was due a checkup in April but obviously got cancelled.

Bore da pawb.

Very grey, overcast and rainy at the moment. Just on the second cup of tea and trying to work up some enthusiasm for the weekly ‘click and collect ‘.

Morning all, currently but supposed to ease off later.

I too am wishing for a return of dental checkups, it’s been nearly a year since my last one, I hate to think of all the problems that are building up in that time.

Morning all... Got to make the most of this morning, rain forecast for this afternoon. So a walk with Alan 🐶 after breakfast. Dogs are so silly, last Friday evening he managed to pinch a facemask out of my son's pocket and ate most of it, consequently he was sick all weekend. Will he ever learn!
Have a good day folks!
