The Retirement Thread

[phillc]

Morning all sat in garden with a coffee, sun shining not a cloud in the sky. Pottering in the garden. Then down local bowls club for a practice roll. Hope you all have a good day

Better with showroom lighting? I quite like the orange accents 😉

A waste of materials. Nowhere for the dog, impossible access and egress with my hip, dreadful economy. For the small of winky only.

I am such a busy bee. I have a loaf of bread in the bread maker, and cake in the oven.

Fresh yeast ??

Sat here enjoying bacon on toast butties.
I have lots of paperwork (PoA stuff) that must be done but sadly no mojo.

I know a nice couple who are absolutely loaded that live just off the path on one of my walks. They love their cars. Pam loves Porsche so she has two of them, a sporty one and the 4x4 one. Mike has two Ferraris. He let me have a seat in one when I was passing and I thought I was sitting on the ground it felt so low! Even at my age it felt hard to get back out of it again.

No. Easy bake. It's better in the bread maker than fresh yeast

My cake is finished. The bread still has about 1 1/2 hours to go.

I presume home baked bread won't keep long without all the preservatives they stick in supermarket stuff?

That's why out drummer has moved on from 911s to Porsche 4x4s instead.

Mind you, he's got a few quid. In 2020 he bought a new Macan for nearly 80 grand. The other week the Porsche dealer rang him up and offered to buy it back for 70 as they're short of used stock. He took them up on their offer and dropped 90 on a new Macan plug in hybrid...that he never seems to plug in

Not heard of that one.
Is it a bread mix?

Early supermarket run done, out about eight, unusually I found myself having to queue to get out of Coventry, its normally a clear run through at that time, coming back I had to queue to get back into Coventry, thats not unusual but it doesn't normally queue back from the Winding House lane lights to the Bull & Anchor, market run in a bit, its a lovely sunny day here but a bit fresh.
