The Retirement Thread

One of my pet hates is chucking food cos we let it go off. I am as guilty as Mrs D but it really does annoy me

I hate chucking food out as well, I don't usually take much notice of sell by or use by dates, but eighteen to 24 months past the use by dates it goes in the bin, most of it was either stuff we don't eat very often or stuff we'd got in for guests.

Morning gang. I see I have already mssed PaulSB and IaninSheffield......this is a really lazy day. I got up at 0700, switched the heating on and thought 'aha, I will go back to bed'.......woke again at 0900.
TBH I am feeling a bit ropey....... hot and sweaty. I hope that dastardly @screenman has not sent his lurgy in my direction.
On a possitive note.....my back felt good yesterday and I could stand up straight. First time in 4 weeks so I am well pleased

I hope I have not passed it on to anyone, horrible few weeks of just thinking tomorrow I will feel better only for it not too happen.

We has lots of now I have less to do now than I had before

You got the hanging baskets sorted?

 

[screenman]

Dirk, that does not look good, I was hoping it would be a job for one of the mobile guys but I suggest a bodyshop is required.

 

[classic33]

No, not till just now..........not bad going, 7 hours without a pee! 😂🤣

Weather report to follow......

...tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. ...

As I say, I am also guilty. I managed to save "some" of the opened cheese last week. I cut a slice of all sides, top and bottom. AND I'm still alive

Reminds me, I've got to take ours down, they've been very good but are looking a bit shabby now.

 

[Dirk]

Dirk, ie, did your cars assailant stop and identify themselves?

Nope!
I'm on the case.
This is a tight community - I'll nail the bugger eventually.

I have been shunted from behind several times but I have a towbar and a ball hitch and in nearly every case the assailant has ended up with damage. There must be a jealousy factor sometimes. We got a new van for the business which had several assaults in the first week. Only one hit and run caused minor damage to us and it was easily fixed fortunately.

I've got a tow bar, but they missed it completely. Would probably have done more damage if they'd hit it.

Glad I went out, always the case. 60 miles, 16.5avg. Chilly and tough in places.

Arrive at cafe. Notice says "Sorry broadband down, no cards. Cash or mobile app only." No problem we think.

"Do you take Googlepay?"
"Yes but the machine is down. You can do a BACS transfer!"
"I need broadband to access my account"

Six cold hungry cyclists have a whip round, including the very tatty emergency £20 in my saddlebag. We scraped together enough for 6 coffees and bacon barns.

Maps and cash next week guys!! 🤣

 

[PaulSB]

Right. Like @PaulSB I shall sally forth into the rather dank conditions, although unlike @PaulSB , I have mudguards [he typed, smugly ]

I have a wet arse and filthy bib longs!! 😭

Bike TLC and mudguard fitting next.

Cheese, eh?

I haven't seen one of those for years.
