The Retirement Thread

[oldwheels]

Wet start today but sun is now out. A period of gales for about 2 or 3 hours forecast for middle of the day but next week a few days with possibly better weather for getting out.
It has taken me from about seven o'clock this morning to get most of the chores done. Bread rising, some chicken soup on and a large freezer pack of sausages cooked and ready to refreeze.
If you want to borrow a body Mo you can try mine. Run? I can hardly walk tho' cycling is ok. You have youth on your side.
I don't have time to sit down for cups of coffee unless I am out somewhere which is getting less likely. Getting out for some mental stimulation seems to gee me up physically but that is even more limited now.

Stick the kettle on then please......another cuppa is required........and since I have a cat on my knee, maybe you could bring it through too?

...with a bixxit.

Same as me. I have tried without sugar but not for me. I need one spoonful too.

We drink tea and coffee black no sugar.

Loaf is still cooking, first batch of mince pies made, second load in the oven, dinner is a home made ding meal so that is sorted I think i'll go out for a walk later

Did he happen to mention what year?

... that's called hedging your bets. Tories are very good at that as they never use their own money.

Enlighten me......I know it's early but I can't think what DFL's are?

Darn from Larndon.......innit.

I gave up sugar a long time ago. Coffee was no problem as it instantly tasted better but strangely it took a while for tea. Now, the thought of sugar in coffee turns my stomach.

Same here. For me, it was enforced, in the dark days when I worked (sorry), I spent some time working in Russia and Ukraine, almost everything was in short supply, or, impossible to get, including sugar and fresh milk. By the time I came home, I was an "ex-sugar user", and, an "ex-milk user".

Tier 6 will be when we're all told to lock ourselves in a cupboard and swallow the key....

Don't talk daft!
When did you last see a cupboard with a keyhole on the inside.

Did he happen to mention what year?
