The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

The medicos put Mrs D on stains and within 3 days she was in a terrible mess. She stopped, 48 hours was fine again.

I've been on statins for 9 months now, and i have not suffered any of the recognised side effects. The last blood tests I had showed that the cholesterol figures were right down in the accepted levels, not that they were that high in the first place.

Excellent bit of luck this afternoon..
When I went shopping there was an unchained trolley near a young lady standing under a lamppost. I asked if it was hers but it wasn't. I wheeled it away and did my shopping.
When I returned it to a trolley bay and poked the thingy in the slit, a shiny £1 coin popped out!!
How lucky was that!! 🍀

Do you realise that if you did that 20 times a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year for 20 years you would have errh uhhm......some money.

Got an emergency dental appointment for 9.45. I feel it will have to come out. Its the back tooth so not looking forward to it. I have a phobia of dentists.

In a perverse sort of way I actually enjoy the dentists. The mechanics of it fascinates me, all those intricate little tools; also lying back on a couch is relaxing.
I generally don't have anaesthetic for fillings and have been known to nod off whilst having one done.
My missus thinks I'm weird....

Your missus could well be right.

I’ve heard they can cause it! So much conflicting information. No wonder we don’t know what to do for the best.

Heard today that a guy I know slightly , has got Parkinsons ( sad 'cause hes a very gentle nice guy ) and his wife always got his trousers and jackets , shirts etc dry cleaned and apparently now suspects there may be something in the chemicals used that could have caused it to some extent . You hear all sorts of conflicting reports and rubbish , social media sucks a lot and is full of dross mostly

Granddaughter sleepover has been postponed until tomorrow as it's a glorious afternoon and mummy is taking her to the beach😎. They're very fortunate in that both her flat and the school are within walking distance of the beach, and there's a children's play area and toilets next to the chine. I'm not a beach person, preferring to amble through the heathland and find a bit of solitude.

touch of the Diggory Venn so ( I just finished reading The Return of the Native and enjoyed it immensely , last time I read it I was about 12 )

Good day all.

Nothing planned.
I can't eat anything proper because of this abscess so I am on rice pudding etc.
