The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Kite surfers having fun this morning.

Had to go and help one chap. He'd turned at the end of a run, took off and got about 20 feet of air. The wind caught him and blew him towards the beach where he crash landed from about 10 feet. He was rolling around on the surf line in agony. Turned out he'd only winded himself. Lucky man.

I will shortly be preparing a lamb Rogan Josh. It will marinate overnight then cook for 6 hours in the 'slow cooker'.
Mrs D will be making the bits to go with the papadum starters. SiL and hubby will help us devour it.

G'day all, I'm back from my 6 week jaunt around Aus. I came back on the non stop service by Quantas from Perth to Heathrow. It wasn't too bad, 17 hours in the air, but quite a comfy plane, the Boeing Dreamliner 787. My carbon footprint is huge after all the miles covered by car and air, which is not a good thing but I had a great time away. If anyone is thinking of going, I can thoroughly recommend going to W A, Coral Bay and Ningalloo in Particular.
