Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
We are having braised beef. However it doesn't look like braised beef to me. We bought it from Morrison's and it's gone downhill over the last few months.
We may end up with pizza

Well it rained quite a lot on our ride but it was mild and everyone was happy.
The pensioners have something of a reputation for the conversations they get involved in. Today's cafe is run by a very jolly Maltese lady. One of our buddies today was another lady.
So straight in at number one for bizarre conversation topics between four pensioners, a Maltese cafe owner and a woman in her late 40s is..........
.........how to make a flat white correctly and HRT.

Q. Has your appetite slowed as you have got older (not Mr NumNuts who can eat 24 mince pies in one sitting).
My Bro and his wife have always eaten aot more than us ie for a pub meal we would ave one course while they would have three.
So they came to ours yesterday and I did
Chilli
Rice
Chips
Garlic bread.
I ate chili, rice and a few chips.
He hoovered everything up.
Chilli x 3 lots
Rice
Chips x 2 lots then all the bits
Garic bread x 6 YES SIX slices
Then a choc ice o finish.
Nice to see someone with a good appetite and I took it as a compliment but how he did it I have no idea.

Is it just me, am I the only one who can remember when the stupid american haloween thing lasted just one night a year? Noticed today how many houses are bedecked in cobwebs, skeletons, pictures of Donald Trump, and it stuck me thqt haloween is now a 2 week long event.

I am afraid I am something of a "hoover"
No doubt there are numerous reasons/excuses (eg, our generation were taught not to waste food, some people enjoy eating, etc etc)
Mrs @BoldonLad often asks me "are you still hungry" when I have seconds, or, go raiding the fridge, my usual response is along the lines of "what has being hungry got to do with it?"

My appitite is still healthy, the problem is I'm not as active as I used to be and it goes straight on the belly and the hips, I have to excise restraint at meal times.

No, it is not just you.
I recall "Haloween" as an evening when we kids roamed the street with a hollowed out turnip (swede to you southerners), with a candle in it. No sweets, no door knocking, no dressing up. I think it all went wrong after the film "ET".

When I was growing up the only thing we celebrated on the 31 was my late Dad's birthday.

Prolly should have eaten it fresh, rather than keeping it a few months.We are having braised beef. However it doesn't look like braised beef to me. We bought it from Morrison's and it's gone downhill over the last few months.
