The Retirement Thread

Swimming pool filled with gin for the big one? 😄

Another very gentle walk done and the pj’s are on so that’s me in for the day.

Well one part gin and three parts tonic with ice flown in from Arctic for purity.

After another LFT today, I am officially covid negative. It's taken 10 days to go, and other than symptoms of a mild head cold I felt fine.
More domestics done today, several loads of washing done, kitchen floor washed, I dropped the mop bucket so now ineed a new one.
Another busy day in paradise

Morning. A dreich and dismal day here. Got a little walk done before the rain gets any heavier. Looks like it's on for the day and tomorrow isn't much better. I foresee a lazy day ahead with many cuppas!

Sitting here on my balcony in Portugal I could laugh at all you people back home in the UK freezing your bits off........but it is lashing it down here, blowing a gale and bl--dy freezing!!!

The pool man has arrived but so far hasn't got out of his van, I think he may just leave it for another day.

First estate agent visits this afternoon to take his pictures start the ball rolling on getting it on the market.

The earliest known recorded recipe was scribbled down in 1769.

See WD's Mrs Hinch thread but I was pondering tonight's meal and wondered this.

When did macaroni cheese become pasta bake? Sometimes it came in a tin to eat with toast. Very continental. 😄

It's a little known fact that Macaroni is a mis-spelling of the dish that was invented by Guglielmo Marconi as a quick and easy way to get nourishment while he was busy inventing the wireless. Another little known fact is that the Movie "Apocalypse Now " was based on the book about the Trojan Wars by Homer called " Acropolis Now "
Thank you, I'll get my coat shall I ?...

I have forced Mr WD out of bed. He is stuffing his face with breakfast cereal at the moment.

He could have done that from the comfort of his bed. Why'd you move him!
