The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Finally after not sure how long, I have bimbled. Only 17 miles and not sure how much I enjoyed it compared to how I used to feel about cycling, but it's done.

Well done Mo

He's not even from this country, much less Liverpool!

Course he is......born in London

I once got in deep water with Mrs Tenkaykev when she returned from the shops with yet another load of fresh produce to cram in the salad drawer. I asked “ did you want me to put this straight in the bin, or shall I put it in the fridge for a week or so first? “

I know that feeling well.
Oranges.
She must have them!.
The last 2 packs have ended up in the bin

Just had an unexpected email from my ISP ( Zen ) As the issue with resolving the fault on my line was not fully resolved on the day arranged, they have credited my account with £8.06. It's not a lot, but I wasn't aware of being due any compensation. It's refreshing to deal with such a competent and proactive organisation. ( They'd spotted an intermittent problem with my line and had been monitoring it prior to me contacting them )

Ooh, I think I might know this one, was it Julie ?

Nope. Par boil carrots and potatoes. Drain. Shake well in the saucepan to break the surface up a bit then roast in a hot oven

The Eagle has landed not far from Upton on Severn.
Straight through this morning on the North Devon link road and the M5 - 2h 50m door to door. 150 miles.

Retreated to the Village Inn at Twyning for refreshments.

The Butty Bach ale is slipping down a treat.
