The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Just back from a nice walk across the fields with muttley.
The sun has come out, and a breeze has sprung up. The forecast for the rest of the week is rain rain and more rain.
I have also booked a swimming session for Wednesday morning.

Back from the town & Remembrance Day ceremony ..

Ice Cream on the way home 🍦

Back from running the legal road closures for the remembrance parade. Sadly the only road user that gave us trouble was a cyclist, which pishes me off a bit.

Bright and sunny. Did I say bright and sunny? Geez. Wet! Any thought of grass cutting has been binned. I'll get the hoover out shortly.

Talking of Tesco. Bamboo toothbrushes. I like to buy these, less plastic and recyclable handle.

Home Bargains pack of 3 individually wrapped in compostable paper in recyclable box. 99p

Tesco Colgate brush pack of 1 in coloured cardboard and bubble plastic. £4.10

That's 12 times the price in Tesco and less environmentally sound. I reviewed the product on the Tesco website, something I rarely do. I wonder if it will be published?

What do they mean by "bamboo toothbrushes" or base layers or boxers etc.
Is Bamboo a make/manufacturer ?

Bamboo handle. Cut the head off and in to general waste pin. The handle I usually add to the kindling pile though I've chucked a couple on the compost heap recently to see what happens.
