Brew 5,440 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Went to bed last night feeling a bit sorry for myself, the vision in my right eye seems to be diminishing rapidly. Stayed abed till 10:30 and ignored the phone- stupid-stupid -stupid. It was the hospital and I presume it was to arrange an appointment. The number will not accept return calls, but a recorded voice says to wait, they will call again. Now I have now't else better to do than sit and wait... Serves me right I suppose. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember that meeting. It was the Wetherspoons 'Company Inn' in the old warehouse near the canal. It closed over a year ago and the whole block is now being converted into luxury flats. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hope Nottstalgia has many more years for me and those with '''Nowt else better to do''' I remember you joining Nottstalgia @benjamin1945 and being a tad stressed about your first serious health issue. You got through that one (and the next), you’ve had a tough few years but you’re still here to bring a smile to our faces. I’ve also found that there are some lovely supportive folk on here and have always been very appreciative of that. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,220 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 An ex schoolfriend of mine, who used to live near me in Radford, tried to get me onto 'Radfordtonians'. But apparently she was unsuccessful. Seems you have be on Facebook to achieve this. Ah well, it's back to tormenting Phil and Rog. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,361 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 I remember Plantfit agonising about whether to retire. Now look at him! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,661 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Best move I ever made Jill, it's a very busy occupation being retired or as I prefer to call it "Self Employed" Rog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,905 Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 My husband is retired but hates it. He’s spent his life in restaurants and being with people who have become friends. He doesn’t know what to do, he’s got no hobby and will not go into the village centre and be an old crony sitting and watching the world go by or hanging around outside the bars chatting like the old folks do . But yesterday he spent nearly all day painting the wall round the front that the winter had made a mess. Now today he’s full of pains. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
