The Retirement Thread

Morning. It’s dark and damp. Not sure why I’m up.

That spider!

Are we related??
Our kids stashed all their gear (camping etc) in our loft decades ago.

Ditto

We love Welshie's typos. Always good for a laugh

I, on the other hand, get a bit paranoid about my spelling so usually do a quick read of what I've typed before hitting send. Boring I know.

A windy riverside trail walk done and porridge has been consumed. Cuppa now.

Swot

Hello strangers!
Been a while…..did I miss anything important?
Finally had an overnight cycle-camp adventure with a pal at the end of last week…Shropshire Hills: lovely, but the clue was in the name (HILLS 😱). Still recovering….
Far too many things going on that stop me from doing these things often enough.

Mostly a tent to dry today…plus an amble to watch a pal do her first (& she assures me, last) half marathon.


Oh yes: anyone know what NCAP content means? I know NSFW, but no idea what the mods did there 🤣

NCAP = News, Current Affairs & Politics board.
It's somewhere for the terminally argumentative to throw their Teddies around.

It's the Euro safety rating for cars, and we're no longer in Europe.

Found some athletics to watch online. Men's and women's 5ks earlier, then road miles with a great second place for a Brit. Currently women's half marathon. It's from Riga in Latvia. Looks a lovely area.

Curry and rice for me.
I had a chicken breast left from yesterdays stir-fry so curry is on the go....c/w onion and mushrooms.
The hardest part was putting the rice in the microwave 😀

Just the 'small' chicken roast for us.

As I was cooking on our gas hob yesterday I realised that since the Smart Meter part installation last week when the guy only changed the gas metering due to an issue with our Electric Meter cabling, the gas metering hasn't been " fired up " and the digital meter still has a blank screen. I might be getting " free gas " until it's sorted 🔥🤔

Home made lasagna for me
