The Retirement Thread

[Exlaser2]

ITS LOVELY !! I drink it all the time now . I buy it in bulk and it works out at 1.35 Euro per can . I prefer it now to the real Guinness I drank all my life . I buy it in 24 can boxes and always have 1 or 2 in the fridge. I pop it into the freezer 5 mins before I drink it.

Another vote for Guinness zero . I tried many versions of low/none alcohol versions of alcoholic drinks over the years and never really liked any of them but Guinness zero is really good .
So good I’ve started stocking it in the sailing club bar and it’s selling really well . The other zero alcohol beer I sell is Becks Blue, that’s ok too if you’re a lager drinker . 😀

I feel your pain as I have similar although worse I think as ours are up on a bank. This photo doesn't show depth of hedge in places, a struggle to reach across to cut.

Why I have to ask?

Why I have to ask?

I work part-time, 03:00 start.
Usually only 2 days but I've got a couple of 3 day weeks to suffer..

Riverside trail walked now that it’s dry and sunny.

I see Evri are coming this afternoon. I like my hair really short, especially in this weather and like the clipper cut the hairdresser gave me so I’ve bought a set and going to have a go myself! If you suddenly see me wearing a hat you will know why. I’ve watched lots of YouTube videos and it doesn’t look that difficult.

I have my hair short - number 2 at the barbers

Over lockdown it was getting silly so I got some clippers and used that myself

but once all that was over I went back to the barber
she finishes it off better around the edges and it just looks better when she does it

That would do it but the J20 did the trick.

iused to know someone who got very angry and aggressive if he drank J20 or anything like it

orange juice and lemonade was fine - must have been some preservative in the bottled stuff

I have a weekly number one. A haircut, not a pith.

Used to be a zero or even Bic it but Mrs D didnt like it.

I wonder how much I have saved by not having a hair cut, can't even remember the last time I went to a hair dressers

Its not like you're short of money. You sold millions of records with Yes and Vangelis.

My understanding is male menopause isn't comparable with a woman's experience. Men's testosterone declines steadily from age 30 or so, while, I think, women experience something more dramatic. I'm sure at least two of circle will correct me if I'm wrong.

Have a heart. I have four daughters (age range 49 - 54), menopause conversations are a regular "event". 😂

Celery apparently uses more calories eating it than contained in it. Or at least that was always the rumour.

My top tip, dip it in crunchy peanut butter. Yum!

Nutritious and delicious.
