The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Up bright and early today......07.30.
Scraped the ice of Mrs Ds car as she takes her 93 year old aunty shopping today.
Breakfast was toast and marmalade with a mug of coffee.
Then off to golf. Cold but wrapped up and moving made it enjoyable.
Back home now nursing a whisky.

You spent 15 hours shopping and dont know what to eat .
Have some of that venison or caviar you bought.

Cheek. We have plenty to eat. I'm just not sure WHAT to eat today. Anyway, decided on beef, yorkshire pud, roast potatoe, peas, gravy and English mustard. Yum

Too late kiddo. All gone

@numbnuts ..... @welsh dragon is (as you might guess) Welsh. The food is normally gone before it reaches the plate.....hooves, ears, tails, the lot

Our first Wednesday of the new year down the club and I won on the bingo, that's my bacon butty at the cafe tomorrow paid for. It's been a bit of a busy day, threequarter of an hour on the turbo this morning, watching the heart monitor bounce with a head full of Judas Priest. Out to lunch then the afternoon down the club, I've also changed the bed, did the washing and put the vac round.

Up late again today. Did a steady 30 miles on the bike. Had intended to do more but it started snowing up at Burnhope which is only six miles away so plumetted down through snow then sleet followed by rain until I was back in sunny Chester le Street.

New Decathlon winter gloves kept the cold at bay but they're a bit thick and make it difficult to brake and change gear. Been experimenting with these to try and keep my feet warm on the bike.

Was wearing long merino socks, cycling shoes (obvs) with these warmers inside, neoprene toe covers and Funkier overshoes. Feet stayed tolerably warm for the whole ride but I'm sceptical of the claim that they'll work for eight hours. See they've covered themselves by using the weasel words, 'up to eight hours of heat'.

No "e" in potato.

She did call you "kiddo".

 

[Dirk]

No "e" in potato.

There is in Wales. They spell everything with too many letters.

 

[welsh dragon]

No "e" in potato.

Not now maybe, but up until recently there was. No one says it is wrong just left off the end.

I heard a new (to me) phrase last night. "Its as cold as a Polar Bears cock".
Now I, personally, have never felt one but it does sum it up.

From the program "manhunt"

@Dave7 you've never felt a polar bears wotsit? Jeez, next thing you'll be telling us you've never groped a duckbilled platypus.
