The Retirement Thread

[dodgy]

Well, we ended up in the local for a superb Sunday lunch.....

You've posted pics before of these 'superb' lunches in your local, that looks a bit limp for a sunday roast. Insipid looking gravy, not enough crispy black bits on the potatoes. Carrots should be mashed, too

I blame the camera on my phone.
Mashed carrots? What weird kind of perversion is that?!

Roasted carrots are very lush.

Going to finish insulating the Man Shed today. Got a load of that stuff that looks like bubblewrap but made from aluminium foil.

Sounds suspicious. I do hope the police won't be putting a blue tent around it anytime soon.

My garden needs digging - I may pretend to have buried someone there, get the police to come dig it over for free.

Got results of my MOT back and they're not great.

High cholesterol + very high risk of diabetes - they're recommending statins. I'd rather not so got to lose weight which means cutting down on the booze. Also got to eat low cholesterol stuff so no more pork pies or bacon sandwiches. Need to get more exercise too so had a brisk 4 mile walk this morning and will jump on the turbo trainer for half an hour a bit later.

Got to say I'm a bit fed up (especially about the booze and pork pies) but at least I've got an early warning that my risk of a stroke or heart attack is higher than it should be and I can do something about it.

That's good news on the early warning, bad news on the pork pies. I'm the same, I buy the mini pork pies now only as a rare treat.

Oh dear, but yes, you have an early warning. Cutting out that lot isn't that bad. Mr WD had to do it as well.

I'd rather be brown bread than eat that filth!

I totally agree with that sentiment. It always looks like some kind of sloppy, gloopy, grey gunky cack.
