It does depend if you want to work or retire. There are different conditions of entry to most countries, depending on your choice, you would be wise to investigate these asap. You can't just walk in. A big advantage of the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, is they basically speak English, so no " learn the language" problems. Friends who have moved into Europe over the years have said the biggest problem is learning the language. Good luck.

Fury should probably retire, but in a documentary I saw about him, he seemed lost if he wasn't training, or preparing for a fight. It was almost a "mental health" issue. It doesn't seem as though he can just sit back and enjoy the fortune he has earned. I don't know if he could coach, or something similar, but he seems to have no interest outside of boxing.

IMO Usyk won the fight, Fury seemed to lose his way at times during the middle and later rounds. The overall quality of the boxing was abysmal .

Thats a fine catch, they do fight hard, they are like a sports car with their shape and power.

In fairness, if you don't tell them, they don't know.

I don't know anyone who would use an air rifle over about 50yards. 145 yards is almost a dream and such a clean shot. We are but amateurs.π -
Two masked burglars stole a pick up and quad bike from a farm on the Windsor Castle estate. Who does such things ? π

Bitcoin Anyone! The start of the 2024 bull run.

In any form of speculation/gambling the mantra has to be that you only speculate/gamble what you are prepared to lose. I invested in bitcoin in 2014 and sold in 2021, my return was very good. I considered reinvesting, but felt that the whole system was getting shaky and exposed to fraud/hacking, etc. I think its more vulnerable now than it was then. -
Its surprising how many farmers lose equipment soon after the hare coursers have been around. Its a common "knock on" effect. We have found them in the early hours around buildings, "looking for me dawg". Police called, not interested.

The changes in the patient can be very shocking. My MIL was a sweet old lady, no swearing in front of her, she would even turn off a tv programme that was a bit near the knuckle. With Alzheimer's disease she would use words I didn't know she knew, becoming argumentative and low key violent. This really upset my wife and her sister. When my wife told the doctor about this behaviour he said, "she is no longer your mother, you must accept this and not get upset". Because this illness makes no obvious physical change to the patient, it is difficult not to still see your mother in these circumstances. Even the "good times" are hard, my MIL would often thank my wife for something she had done and say, "do you have a mother ?" Heartbreaking.

We faced a similar situation with my mother in law. The distances from her to relatives was 35miles +. Her being alone was the big problem and we had the "wandering" issues, and falls, etc., as well. Initially my wife and her sister took turns staying 24 hours a day with her , consecutive days. After a few months this became wearing, to say the least. We then employed a local agency for a live in carer for some of the days and the sisters reduced their involvement. The MIL did not want to go into a care home, but sadly deteriorated to the stage that she had no strong will left. We located a good care home (took some finding) and she went there. Within 2 months she developed a chest/respiratory condition that necessitated a time in hospital. When she was deemed well enough to leave, the Hospital said she had to go to a Nursing Home, as as she was not well enough to go to a Care Home. This the NHS arranged and she remained there until her passing. We paid for the Carers and the Care Home, but the Nursing Home is free under the NHS, no financial contributions need be made. Some of this may help, but there is no easy, cheap, way of fulfilling this obligation. (Its also worse if you are the only family member with any moneyπ)

There are not enough GP's to provide a decent cover for the patients in any area. Until recruitment/retention of GP's is prioritised, nothing will ever change. Our major Medical Clinic has "Nurses", "Medical Assistants" and a GP on Tuesday and Thursday. Its a scandal.
