The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Hourah, the sun is out, the weather is dry and the wind has dropped so I am going out for ride this afternoon.

I thought about it but that's as far as I got. I really can't be bothered with the cycling just now.

Suppose it'll be another walk soon as it would be criminal to waste a lovely day.

I've just finished a jigsaw......does that count as being busy?

Hell yes.

Executive decisson. BBQ pork with rice.

It did warm up so I went for a ride to Sainsburys, needed milk, bananas, tomatoes and bath sponge.
There were quite a few people buying Christmas stuff ...........

They will start to panic buy soon as they are expecting the shelves to be empty this Christmas.

Well I can't see Amazon not having gift vouchers and there seems to be a good supple of baked beans so I'll be al right

G'day folks! ...I've been very busy the last week so not much interweb time has been had. Just finished lunch and now back to being busy, first job upstairs windows cleaning inside and out, cup of tea and then the downstairs to do. Should take me nicely up to Tipping Point, Pointless, and House of Games.

Enjoy the rest of your day folks!

We ended up at Cassilax on Roland avenue, we discussed it and my Good Lady agreed, I then helped her into her wheelchair, pushed her round to the cafe and treated her to lunch, then we went on to Parkgate road Morrisons for some shopping and home.

Now I can imagine you eating/drinking milk, bananas and tomatoes......but a bath sponge .

Managed to get a walk in....less than 2 hard miles but very pleasant in the sunshine.
Sat outside now enjoying a whisky chaser.
Just waiting for Securicor with MrsDs bingo winnings.
Decisions Decisions........
Plan was to have some of the meat balls and spaghetti but I put a loaf on to bake.
The smell when I just came in....😊
Now..... which one will it be ??

Hi folks enjoyed my ride today, chilly first thing but soon warmed up and had to take my coat off. Tackled my nemesis of a hill again today...last time i had to stop a couple of times to let cars past not today. 3/4s of the way up my heart rate was as high as its been for years so erring on the safe side and not wanting an alien like heart explosion bursting out my chest i stopped for a minute! I dont know if this heart 'high revving' had some benificial effect but when i came home felt really invigorated! Life in the old dog yet!

I did a very enjoyable 25 miles earlier and it felt good to be on the bike.
@Mo1959 , I suggest you get your bike out and just follow the wind. You will be pleasantly surprised how good it feels when you have not ridden for a bit. ( only 9 days in my case due to bad weather).

These spots are called internal black spot and are essentially bruising that occurs from the potatoes lying against each other for an extended period of time. ... The potatoes are still safe to eat, just cut the spots away. If there is an extensive amount of Fusarium, this can give the potatoes an off flavor.
