The Retirement Thread

Morning all

Temperature going up to 7° later.
Bit of pottering around the garden this morning before we stroll down to the harbour for Sunday lunch at the Bell.

Good morning, a sunny day is forecast ☀️ so I will make hay ( or go for a run ). Cooked brunch yesterday just using our new portable induction hob, it's very good and so easy to clean so once Mrs Tkk has the chance to " learn it " we will probably go for a built in 4hob unit.

You won’t regret it,
We love our induction: super quick, efficient & so easy to clean 👍
Wok cooking is perhaps the only slight downside….no flames up the side of the pan 🤣
That, the microwave and an air fryer does probably 95% of our cooking now.

Riverside trail done by head torch. I looked up into the trees at one point and saw 2 yellow eyes watching me. 🦉

That was Classic he is stalking you.

That will be me shortly. The only thing missing will be a grill for eg cheese on toast.
Which hob did you go for ?

Morning all. A decent though broken sleep.
Very warm here.....actually 1°. Going to dip tomorrow though.
Yesterday's planned chill day failed as daughter and SiL turned up and stayed until evening. A shower and shave will be my exercise today.

I have risen!

On the topic of Induction Hobs we were catching up on Robson Green weekend walks where he has a weekend break in the countryside with various friends / acquaintances. The last episode we watched featured a guy who was a Michelin starred chef. The Chef was going to cook lunch so he pulled two single induction hobs from the back of his car. They were both the Tefal portable single units, same as the one we purchased from JL in the sale. Mrs Tenkaykev has yet to try out the hob but she noticed that the hobs were the same as the one we have. I told her that if it's good enough for a Michelin starred Chef then it mus pass muster.

That's the one I favour. They do a "slimline" version at 30 quid more but not sure of the value.

Thanks BoldonLad ive settled for some Shimano GR5's as the toe is not too raised. I did have a look on Amazon out of interest but couldnt find any 'bicycle toes' filter..... humour perhaps

Pleased you got sorted.

I know I like my little (ok, pathetic) jokes, but, I was being serious about filter

Good moaning, managed to wake up in time for a planned 50 miler, saw the shiny white coating and went back to kip, will probably head onto the turbo later. Ben (as MJ ) was in fine voice last night doing a good rendition from the king of pop. A shame the seats weren't as pleasing on the bum as the young fillies gyrating on the stage were on the eyes 😇

Stage 3 of the Tour de Zwift done on the treadmill. It cut out a couple of times for no obvious reason so just as well I have ordered a better one. It's a cheap and cheerful Chinese thing I got from Amazon and probably isn't up to any remotely serious use.
