The Retirement Thread

Ikea was great, bought loads of items, mainly candles, then popped over to Meadowhall where we bought nothing at all.

 

[Drago]

IKEA, great? What the hell?

Well maybe not Ikea, but Pam wanted some bits in there and I enjoy being with Pam so maybe that was the great bit.

Got outrageously plastered last night, so a gentle day today.
Nice walk to town with swmbo and the dog, tea and crisps by the river then went to see the Knife Angel statue, which is outside the cathedral.
It's nothing short of amazing, strangely poignant, well worth a look if you're visiting Chester.

Back home, went to see my mate who owns the local take away and purchased 40 lovely litres of fuel for the car...

Had to put some actual diesel in it yesterday, as now it's getting colder the mixture needs twiddling a bit.

3. I will be there shortly darling.

I'm alive and kicking!

Yeah, I get that. I have a good friend whose company I enjoy and would do similar. 🙂

Bed sheets changed. Another weekly chore done.

We spent an hour with the sculpture of the Knife Angel in his workshop whilst he was building it, standing beside skips full of knives and other weapons donated by police across the country, it is a very humbling sight.

Looks like we're in for a bit of a wild and woolly night here on Dartmoor.
Time to batten down the hatches and weather it out 'til morn.
Fortunately, we're roasty toasty in the van with a plentiful supply of real ale and cake. Managed to hook into WiFi from one of the local farms, so all is good.
Off out exploring someone's ring tomorrow, according to Mrs D.

I am watching Harry Potter.

I am happy, very happy. Now I know that sounds odd, but for some odd reason I am in the moment and not dwelling on the past or the future, try it.

Dang! Set off on the bike before spotting @Dave7 & @PaulSB 's breakfast orders. Sorry guys.
However, I currently have homemade chicken & mushroom pie, cauli & mash, with apple pie for afters on offer?

[Edited: apple pie! Fresh fruit and Sunday lunch are mutually exclusive!]

I like apple pie, and apple crumble with custard. Yum I'm hungry now

I'd love to come but have just started on pork chops, sauteed potatoes, carrots, kale and apple sauce followed by apple crumble. Should all be ready in 25 minutes
