The Retirement Thread

[SpokeyDokey]

Had a nice carnic - Mrs SD made some nice snacks. We found a nice, scenic spot and had a great Kindle session. Very restful.

I have been pottering in my workroom.

And I now have a ginger cake in the oven. I haven't made one for about 3 years. If the bin walks in he will smell it right away.

Just back from the Poole beer festival. Seven of us and we all bring food. There's Kev the Cornishman who's quite a gifted baker, Welsh Mike who brought almond croissants, Big Bob who brought sod all but ate loads etc. My Yorkshire Parkin was a huge hit, universally praised for the depth of its ginger, ( proper ginger used instead of powdered, a pinch of Cardamom and nutmeg etc ). Next effort will be to use the same recipe, but remember to add the beaten eggs to the mix ğ

We have two, the 7 year old lives in London, the 9 year old lives locally.

Ahhh, both lovely ages.

So
flat tyre that was fixed then not

Gave up and decided to walk to teh LBS and get him to fix it

WHen I got it back from him he said he found a broken thorn in the tyre which must have caused the puncture I fixed
and there was another one that was sticking right through the tyre

It must have been in the half I didn;t look at because I had already found the hold and fixed the puncture it caused
but there was another one - but the goo in the tube has sealed it
but when I put the tube back in I had removed all the goo (it only lasts a year or so)
and doing so broke the seal it had created and then there was another bigger hole

because it was fine after I fixed the first hold and teh hold in the tyre was empty when I checked

anyway - all fixed and I have a new tube
