The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Hilly walk done. It stayed dry. The sun tried to peep through the cloud but hasn't made it.

I think Dave 7 has maybe lost something at the side of the trail. He keeps boasting about the size, but doesn't look very big to me.

Good morning all, mild but damp here.

Morning all

Flu jabs this morning. I've heard that we might get Covid booster jabs at the same time.

Shaggy Ink Cap - they are edible before they go to 'ink'.
I've used them in omelettes before now.

Morning folks Its a soggy start in Brora. Ordered up some cycling gloves as will soon be needing them as proper cold weather arrives. Its Tesco shopping delivery day! i do keep well stocked up and would probably live for 6months on whats in the cupboards....im a bit of a survivalist on the quiet

re- shaggy ink caps make a nice soup too

Mushrooms are the devil's spawn. Horrid slimey things.

Ham and mushroom omelette last time we ate out, very nice.

Aaaargh!

In 3 days my bump cap has saved me from banging my head about 30 times in this Devon cottage but a low door frame finally got me just now.

I was asleep, recovering from yesterday's 100 km bike ride when a scratching noise woke me up. One of the family cats wanted to be let in. I jumped out of bed, staggered across the room in the gloom, and opened the door. THWACK!

Fortunately, it was a glancing blow this time, not one of the skull shakers that gave me concussion on my previous visit.

I could get up now but I think I will doze a while. We'll take the dog for a walk later somewhere that I have not been to before.

You ever noticed that there's very few door to door "channels" in such house's, where it's safe to walk.

Sadness is when you drop a perfectly boiled egg on the kitchen floor............
.........even greater sadness is when the second one rolls off the plate as you try to catch the first.

Flu jabs done - in and out of the surgery in about 2 minutes. No Covid booster though.
