The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

It's been a very cloudy morning so far, but the sun is just starting to break through.

Home made as in I cooked it.
A few years back I use to make my own pasta
had all the tools to do it, but it is very time-consuming for one person

You keep going up in my estimation
Please don't tell me that you make your own doughnuts.......I don't wish to know how you put the holes in them.

Home made spaghetti for lunch, then I'll go out for a walk.

Good idea. It’s supposed to be good for keeping the blood sugar down if you go out for a walk soon after eating.

Overcast here but not cold.

We needed some milk so went to town. Mr WD got himself fish and chips. I didn't want any.

I just had egg on toast.

What about if you go for a walk with a bag of Maltesers in your pocket and despite deciding to just have the one, you find the packet empty at the end of the walk. Not that that's something that I would do of course 🤔

Done walking, that was the highlight of the day, I live a simple life.

I don't do doughnuts, my mum use to

That’s exactly what I would do! It’s painfully obvious I just can’t go near sweet stuff

I have just had my very healthy lunch. It was a single egg.
OK it was fried
And it was on a buttered brioche bun
And it was accompanied by 2 big fat Juicy sausages.
But apart from those minor irrelevant things it was very healthy.

Fried is OK, I use olive oil, I can't be arsed to do poached, I had one blow up on me in the microwave
and spent the next half hour cleaning up the mess.

My friend bought me a gizmo for doing poached eggs.
Took 2 tries to get it right** but now...... 45 seconds in the micro and its done.
**my micro is too powerful so had to work out how to drop power down to 7 out of 10.

This weather is unreal. 18 degrees in October. Back to walking with short sleeves.
