The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Just been to the allotment to get my brown and grey bins out. Wandering by the asparagus bed I noticed five shoots about 2" tall have emerged since Friday. I would say this is three weeks early meaning the soil must be warm. Not sure if it suggests an early season or not.

I think though it's a good enough sign to suggest starting outdoor sowing and buy tomato plants. Excellent.

I think the early sun and warmth has confused some plants, I've noticed some plants in my garden have put on a lot of early growth.

Lovely walk this morning followed by a swift pint ( I usually have coffee but it was a tad warm )
I noticed that the new wheelie bins are now of a uniform colour with just the lid colour denoting the purpose which on consideration does make a lot of sense. Just tucking in to a cheese salad sandwich, Macaroni Cheese is planned for this evening, following Nadia's recipe ( only this time I'll realise that there's quite a difference between the evaporated milk specified in the recipe, and the tin of condensed milk that I picked up in the Supermarket )

I've just pressed all the like buttons, must find something else to do before bed time

There's always Accy Cyclists latest meanderings to comment on, I think the current one is motor home related 😉

Jellied eels ??

These are freshwater eels, so not seafood. Disgusting jellied, delicious smoked.

Well you learn something new every day

I can't abide jellied/stewed eels, but smoked eels are delicious. Eels are a very meaty fish.

You could unpress them and then press them again. I don't even know if unpress is a word.

I got myself out for a bimble. Just 14 miles and finally got back just above 13mph again. Sad when I am happy with that compared to what I used to manage, but on an aluminium hybrid with full mudguards and Marathon Supreme tyres I suppose it's not too bad. Enjoyment is what matters now.

Enjoyment is what matters most.You never spoke a truer word

Well I never considered this a problem. First World problem mind you.

Yesterday I burnt two finger tips getting the roasties out of the oven. Quick dip under cold running water and sorted.

Today the fingerprint recognition doesn't work on my laptop or phone.

Will they grow back the same?

They will. Quite a few times when rubbing down or sanding stuff the finger prints get a bit damaged. Also the odd burn and cut. After a few days the skin repairs and all back to normal.

Slightly different, if the burn was deep enough.

If that was the case you would then have to use a different finger for recognition , once you could get into your account.

Jellied eels

Never tried them. I'd class them as 'River food' anyway.
Smoked eels, on the other hand, are delish.
My grandfather used to fish for eels on the Severn and my granny had a smoker in their back garden.

Just did the Quordle, four words in nine goes, currently sat here waiting for my mouth to start working again, one small filling done, that should sort it out for now.

Ha ha!

I was getting annoyed by using the wrong fingers to try to unlock my phone so I have now registered the index and middle fingers of both hands. Now I don't have to think about which one to use.
