The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning all. Well, it appears that we are all here. Not heard from Classic as yet but thats the norm.
No rain forcast here although those clouds seem to have a different opinion.
Me and MrsD are going for a walk later...... that may take us past the pub . The meals are quite good but tbh they overface me. Several people have told me that they go for 'childrens portions' as eg fish n chips @£5.99 are plenty big enough.

There's a place not far from here that does small, medium and large. The large is like a whale!

No, I used to drink but never got much pleasure from it. I don't like the taste and used to feel a headache coming on before I had barely finished the first drink so eventually decided there was no point.

Makes good sense to me.
An older friend introduced me to beer at 17. I often wish he hadn't as I am someone who enjoys it.

Will wander round and book the car in for its MOT soon. It's across the road from the Co-op so will get some shopping too.......if all these selfish, inconsiderate idiots haven't cleared the shelves.

There is a pub about 2 miles away that does carveries in 3 sizes. The small does me. I have seen people devour the large and then a pud......made me feel ill just to see the portions.

I went Into the local Co Op on Friday. No one was panic buying thank god. However the weekend shoppers might have been a different kettle of fish altogether.

One of the pubs near me do their Sunday dinners in small, medium and large.

Why can't they see that if they just buy as normal, the suppliers will keep the stock levels up..........unless things get so serious there are no deliveries. Surely it can't get that bad?

We go to our local most weeks and have the small 'Childs size' carvery @ £5.95.
It's the biggest meal I eat all week!
I quite often see folk have the 'large' carvery @ £9.95 and they put less on their plate than I do. Don't they ever think that they could save themselves £4?

No Pint surely Mo😉

Car booked in for next Tuesday for its MOT. Actually one day late so better not prang it on the way round.

Glad to see the Co-op was well stocked apart from the usual toilet rolls, hand wash, cleaning products.

Nice and sunny here today so a ride is called for later, apart from that, just a nice lazy day. I will take Molly up Sychnant Pass after my ride where she can run around and I can enjoy the beautiful view from the top of the mountain.
I haven't left the house yet but have already spent £250 paying bills on line ! Who needs to go shopping to spend money?

Morning all. Late for me, but I'll been self isolating in bed until 10 o/c. Like Screenman I'll be decorating while we're self isolating today.
Stay safe peeps!

Mrs Tenkay and myself are members of a local WhatsApp group " Brompton Real Ale Society"
As the group name suggests, we tend to meet up and head for a hostelry somewhere reasonable close to home so kudos for the 50 miler 👍

We do have an excursion planned for early June, cycling on our Bromptons from the airfield where "Operation Deadstick" launched, down to the ferry and onwards via Pegasus Bridge, St Mere Eglise and Caen.

Fingers crossed things have resolved themselves by June and we can proceed with our adventures.

That sounds like a good excursion, hope it works out for you. I was hoping to do a 5 day tour in Belgium in May, but that's looking like a no no.

Here's a photo of the Bromptons at the lunch stop yesterday...
