The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

The meal was extremely good, a place I'm happy to recommend. Price depends on individual opinion, we felt it was very good value. Five courses plus two amuse-bouche. Each course was very simple, perhaps 5-6 ingredients and one could taste each individual element - the sign of very, very good cooking.

It was £50/head which I feel very good value but understand not everyone would have this view. I wouldn't have bulked at £75.

Its our 53rd next Tuesday and we are having lunch at a French restaurant near Lymn (La Boheme).
Its £25 but thats for 2 courses plus coffee.
Covid apart we used to visit mybe twice a year.
Pros. Food is really excellent and well
presented.
Cons. The menu seems to be the same
every time.
Plenty of choice but I wouldn't like to go regularly and see the same menu.

Lol. Sometimes when I make a post I usually read what I have written before hitting reply and notice I have used the same word a lot too and go back and change it.

Like this one ???
You USUALLY read it SOMETIMES

Congratulations to you and the family.
As this is your 1st may I give you some advice.
Don't forget that when you lift her above your head and she has no nappy on........ she will take that as permission to pee all over you.

Morning all.
Pain in the ar*e day today.
1. MrsD is in hospital for a bone density scan**
It is normally impossible to park.
2. She then has a hairdressing appointment. Council decided to block the road....buses and taxis only. Everywhere close is double yellows so I can't park and wheel her in.
SO.......it will be a taxi to the hospital then another one to the hairdresser, then another one home.........this is going to be an expensive day
**'they' are trying to agree if she has osteo penia or osteo porosis. They sound similar but treatments are totally different.

Peeing on grandad is a right of passage.

Funny how grans always manage to avoid being peed on . Spooky in fact

There's a good quip just waiting but I'm too much of a gentleman.........

Confession time.
Our new pool is 8 foot long and deep enough to wallow in.
The garden is totally private.
In it (for fun) I put some floating ducks......25 years old from when the grandkids were little.
So......there I was in the nude and MrsD decided to take a photo.
So......I collected the ducks and (i thought) covered my bits.
When we got in she sent photo to son and daughter.
It was only then Iooked at the photo and noticed the obvious ie MrsD hadn't checked make sure all dangly bit were covered.
My daughter claims she is traumatised
