The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

Supermarket run done, nice and quiet but still lots of gaps in the shelves.

Now then.....do I go for a cheapo pair from Shoe Zone or a very nice pair from Clarkes at 50 quid?
Decisions decisions.

I got a pair from M&S.......30 quid. They were very comfy so I got another pair so I can alternate .
I would only get Shoe zone if that is all you could afford.

Talking of apps. a lady I was walking with the other day told me about one called Yuka. You scan the barcodes of food or cosmetics you have bought and it gives health ratings and let’s you know about nasty additives. My ready meal chilli con carne from the Co-op actually came out as excellent so all ready meals aren’t bad

That app works well

I have to pick up Mr WD's tablets from the quacks. Get a few odds and sods from the Co Op as well.

Then start a lamb casserole.

Think I'll wander round for a few things too. The fridge is almost bare apart from a paella thing for tonight's tea.

1. First catch a lamb.
2. Don't get caught catching the lamb.

You might as well be hung for a sheep than a lamb.

I've been for a bimble, my Brinklow loop, I've ridden 25 miles this morning, not a nice cycling morning, cold dark and damp with wet mucky roads, I was riding down our road at the end of the ride and it started to spit with rain, I just got in as a heavy shower rolled in. A better ride than last week, I'm still slow but I was noticeably more lively and got the average up to 13mph. Another winter fixed ride done and a pleasant couple of hours out on the bike.

I have returned. I swear to god there must be a lamb stock cube shortage as neither the Co Op or Spar has any.

And it is still raining every fine misty stuff

I've noticed that as well. Haven't seen any for months.

Well.....I've traipsed around Barny, looked in Shoe Zone - which is a huge new store now and quite impressive - Clarks, Banbury's, M&S and Deichmans.
Ended up buying a pair of slippers from M&S for £17.50 as a stop gap.
However, I did like the Barbour Tueart slippers in Banbury's - but they didn't have the colour/size combo I wanted.
Got back home and ordered some from the Barbour website. They've got a sale on, so I saved a tenner - reduced to £54.95.

I now have 2 pairs of slippers.......Oh! The decadence!

 

[numbnuts]

I'm not really a slipper person.....had enough at school but I do have two pairs one pair in my grab bag for the hospital

I have managed to scrounge enough from a neighbour to make my casserole.
