The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

Another lockdown walk in the Pentlands today, started misty and got even mistier, very atmospheric !

Had a great lunch stop watching the hillside come and go as the mist swirled, all the while surrounded by sounds of curlew and meadow pipit and stonechat. Also heard 3 cuckoos and one of the few people we saw alerted us to this chap near a gatepost.

I just got back from Aldi and was surprised at the change since last week: no staff at the door to let so many in the shop, very few people using the sanitising bottle left for customers, no more one way system and very few people wearing masks. I think the public is becoming blaze with the situation and people are ignoring basic safety rules.
This virus is going to hit back with a vengeance in the next few months because so many are so stupid, so ignorant and so impatient.
We are in for a rough ride before Christmas I think.

It didn't rain, but I did a stint on the turbo

They never kept their "delivery slot"! I'd be asking for my money back.

Foggy end to the day. Fog horn can be heard from the harbour!

CRV booked in for a set of brake pads tomorrow. Best get 'em done before we (hopefully) start towing again next month.

Is clear liquid calorie free? I am doing some gardening at the moment, well watching the grass grow.

H2O was not quite what I was thinking of, what a fantasticcouple of hours just spent as I said watching the grass grow, I have never been able to relax that much, the last few months may have retrained me.

Morning all.
Looks as though I might...... just might......have beaten the mighty Mo this morning
Got up for a pee 0530 (better than a wet bed) so stayed up. Slow cooker on with lamb curry for later.
Our son and girl friend are visiting.......1st time since October. We were due there over new year but we both had flu.
I am golfing this morning and its supposed to stay dry with rain likely later on.
I will post this before Mo or that dastardly PaulSB sneaks in then come back about the curry.

Morning. Another really humid night for attempting to sleep. It is now

Re the curry.
When I follow a recipe I always end up tasting and thinking ahhh it needs some of this.....then it needs some of that etc. So last night I just made it up as I went along.
TBH it smells a bit strong this morning. I can see I will be adding sugar?? mango chutney ?? coconut milk ??
Hope this works
