The Retirement Thread

The clays were falling out of the sky in pieces today, best days shooting I have ever done. Now all I need to do is get some cycling done again, the arthritic knee is giving a lot of pain hopefully turning the pedals will help but it may soon be time for a new one.

Todays big problem, do we go to Turkey in September or not? I cannot seem to come up with an answer for that one.

Do they still have the curfew in place for the over 65's.

It's our wedding anniversary next week and I've got a feeling that Mrs D is sneakily planning something. I'm eagle eyed and alaert, while pretending to be nonchalantly ignorant, see if I can suss her out.

No, but neither of us would be affected.

We have decided we won't be flying in the foreseeable future, we feel the risk is too great.

See a few more added to the quarantine list tonight.

Yep, but for us it's not the concern of quarantine but the disease itself.

Thank you all for your scone/scone pics. Yum yum. They look a lot like the bicuits found in the south with a speciality called bicuits and gravy...they are split and smothered with white gravy with little bits of sausage in it. I think it's disgusting but many people take guilty pleasure in gobbling down the glutinous mass. Dave 7, if you eat lunch like that everyday with that beautiful lady you are a lucky man.
Went for my 20 today and was within 20 feet of an antelope doe and her fawn eating grass at the college. I am glad they didn't startle as behind me is a 50 mph road and I do hate to see them hurt. Got home before it got too hot so it was a very pleasant ride.

You can settle the cream/jam argument then. Which should be applied first?

I'd load on the cream and then the jam. Of course, I've never seen or eaten clotted cream but that's what I'd do with butter and jam. BTW, I butter the bread and then add Marmite. Hopefully that is ok. I shouldn't eat a lot of carbs or sugar but I'd hop off my anti diabetes diet in a hot minute to eat a scone with the cream and jam in either order. In fact, Sir, may I have one of each, please? Then I will know which I like best.

See, the best placed to decide.
Even willing to experiment to try and decide which is the better way.
