The Retirement Thread

[pawl]

Turned out the Senecio was one plant with two branches on it, so I took a spade to it and I now have two plants, the pots are a bit small and they will need potting on to bigger pots later in the year but they're looking good for now.



They look good Dave.Are they hardy outdoor?

Yep. If it’s a genuine case where someone really can’t afford extra expense I suppose I can see the reason. Most of us have been there at some point but on the other hand some people extract the Michael. We lost an excellent bike shop in Bridge of Allan that my neighbour used to use and his reason for closing was mainly due to people going in to look at bikes and gear, trying things for size, then they never bought from him but went home and bought online to save a few quid.

Still raining here but I could do with some fresh air so I think I’ll get out for a wander.

I'm the opposite. I'll check what I'm looking at online, then if suitable for what I want I'll go to the shop. Seldom have I bought anything for the cycles online.

Still a strong red line for me.

My friend doesn't have to work again until the middle of next week so she is going to come over tomorrow for our weekly tea & TV night. She will keep as far away from me as possible (in the same room!) and take my spare test kits home with her. She can test herself before she is due to go to work just to make sure she is ok, I won't be seeing anyone for another week after tomorrow anyway so I will definitely be clear by then.

Can kit you out like this if needed!

I don't think they're fully hardy, @pawl , but an outdoor plant hardy down to - 5 according to the article I read, apparently they don't like being waterlogged.

We have just enjoyed a stir fry with garlic and ginger sauce.
MrsD is rapidly going off meat but I fried some chicken slices with mine.....very tasty

It's stopped raining and we've even seen enough sun to charge my van battery up fully.
Managed to source a 6kg propane from Staffordshire Farmers Supplies in Ipstones.
Luncheon partaken of at the Bulls Head in Moneyash - it's been 48 years since we were last in there.
Steak, onion and mushroom cob with chips.
I couldn't manage all of it.

The only petrol Morrisons I Newtown had was E5.

I've been a bad girl just like Mo. I have stuffed my face with a custard donut from Morrison's. I havnt had any donuts for months and just fancied buying some. Must be the weather. That's my excuse anyway

I’ve just had a bowl of savoury rice for tea and will try and have nothing other than a cuppa later. Must be better tomorrow. I always feel horrible after eating too much crap. Not sure why I do it!

I have been told that there is naff all on the tv tonight so I will have to have a rummage around on Netflix and Amazon prime to see if I can find anything to watch.
