The Retirement Thread

Well that was a good sleep. Feeling better now. It seems to be a sunshine and showers day.

I have a bike which needs cleaning and hopefully the grass will dry enough for me to cut it.

Just bought some eco friendly loo blue fluid for the caravan toilet. Had it from my usual Fleabay supplier - £16.99 for 10 ltrs with free next day delivery.
Been using the same stuff for the past 4 years with no probs.
Was in our local caravan shop yesterday and they had a special offer on some branded loo blue - £17.45 for 2 ltrs!
And people pay up because they think they can't use anything other than name brand stuff.

Got my game of golf in with only a few showers.
Strange, last week I played really badly and consolled myself by saying "well I cant play that badly again"......then today I found that I could . But I will try again tomorrow .

I've been thinking about this whole fruit, vegetables thing

Peas, sweet corn, broad beans and many other beans are examples of seeds we call vegetables.

When we eat snap peas or runner beans we are eating a seed pod which is technically a fruit.

I think green stuff is possibly the best description.

Does that mean ripe bananas are fruit but unripe (green) bananas are vegetables

Wot? Being a killjoy with a black hat & uniform is a poor way to spend your dotage.

Just got back from the Ear Lady who has hoovered and flushed the wayward beastie (right side) and the world is now wonderfully noisy again! Money well spent.

I will now be able to hear all those faster cyclists than me (not difficult with my 14-15mph average speed) coming up on my right hand side.

That 2-3 mph faster than mine

Why'd you want to try and play badly again?

I think it must be all the hills I go up in this part of the world building my stubby legs up - and just wait until I shed some blubber!

Its a sort of target. Now that Ive found it was possible to play more worsererer than I did last week I want to see just how bad it is possible to get

I've no interest in playing golf and, even if I did, I'd baulk at the £100 a round they charge at my local course.
That's not to mention the £200 joining fee and £1000 a year subs.

How much are your green fees?

Is that on top of the annual membership fee, or just a guests fee?
