The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Mo1959 and PaulSB I’ve got over you flaunting your shiny new titanium bikes ,honestly I’m not bitter. BUT I now find out your both those totally weird people who don’t like MARMITE.

We can afford new bikes because we don't waste our money on jars of by-product of the brewing industry. 😄😄

500 piece double sided jigsaw in a giant Marmite jar. Pack of playing cards to scale 👍😁

That would be a challenging puzzle.

I'm not a marmite lover, but Mrs GM is. She has it on toast with a squirt of honey for breakfast, and shares the crusts with Alan.

I think, after a peek at Mister Google it means "long may your chimney smoke". Unless lum, like semi, has some connotation of dangley parts, in which it sounds kinda nasty.
Did a pathetic 18 miles, half of which was against a headwind, at the jowl flapping speed of 8.7 mph overall. Still, great to be out. A chunk of banana bread with cream cheese and a tumbler of whey protein milkshake and I'm ready to take the dog for her stroll.

No I’m sorry I’m sure you’re wrong. Beer is a byproduct of Marmite production.

Well if that's the case Marmite has gone up in my estimation..........only slightly but I'll concede it has its uses.

By George. I think He is getting it.

I should not let Mr WD have access to any laptops or tablets. The saying that you can teach an old dog new tricks is sometimes complete cobblers especially where he is concerned .

And the one I set you?

One of things I love about this thread are the words and expressions I've learned, and thanks to my friend Dirk, among others, what your eating preferences are. In fact, thanks to y'all, I am on my third 600 gram tub of Marmite. Sometimes I get your humor, too. I think.

Marmite.

Morning It's freezing and a bit sparkly out there

Morning all, swimming this morning which I cannot say I really enjoy doing but I like the benefits it gives in terms of overall fitness, I am always very pleased with myself when it is over, also being older than most but still faster than most and can swim further than most in the pool gives me a nice smug feeling.

Good morning. Still very dark but the sky looks clear though I don't think there's been a frost. Forecast to 10ish is diabolical then drying up.

Woke about 3.30 and it was bright enough to read by......... so I switched the light off!!! 😄 No, no. Moonlight was very bright and when I looked out of the window 'twas very clear.

This morning I'm meant to be on an early supermarket dash but we didn't complete the list. Not a big deal really, I have to collect venison then we need parsnips, potatoes, selection of cheeses, sherry, chocolate biscuits and possibly a few odds and ends.

Think I'll go to Booths as while quite expensive will be relatively quiet. 🤔 I might by a Guardian today as I've a hankering to do the Codeword.

Locally our cases are down to 295, huge reduction from our peak of 2000 three weeks ago.

Finish coffee and doze is the next part of today's plan.........
