The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Morning. I am late. However I have been up for ages. I was browsing elsewhere and forgot about you lot

Dull overcast cold and breezy here today.

Pork chops for us. God knows what we are having with them though

Stay safe peeps

Aldi dash completed. It was a surprisingly cool breeze out there..... so @PaulSB .....longs maybe ?
Another surprise was the amount of traffic.
A roast pork dinner for us later. I am trying a couple of new things....
1. Asparagus in with the veg.
2. Roast baby potatoes (only ever boiled them before).
A full review will follow

I was in Tesco's just after eight, I was surprised at how cold the wind was, if I was out on my bike it would definitely be in longs, I'd want a base layer and a winter jacket as well.

All this talk of it being a cold start to t'day, we'd a gritter round last night.

Which one though?

Don't know what happened there, an empty post🤔
It's black, but not a matt finish. looks more like the black in the second photo 😉
( as an aside, I was reading an article about " Vanta " black, apparently the blackest of the blacks, so black that your brain can't process it and just sees a void )

Good morning fellow retirees,
Another sunny day, though that wind is bitter. A friend popped round yesterday and we went for a walk over the Heath, we stopped by Broadstone Cemetery to look at the Alfred Russel Wallace memorial. Calf was sore so I took it easy but it was great to catch up. Pleased to say that my new rim tape and puncture repair was successful, the tyre is still fully inflated.
I tried some " Wet and Forget " on a patch of discoloured brickwork in a difficult to reach area, the blurb says that it takes several weeks for the effect to be noticed. First time I've used the stuff, fingers crossed that it does what it says.🤞

Have a peaceful day folks ☕️👍

Hope the Wet and Forget works, for you. I have had great success with it on our Block Paved Drive, and, on Motorhome Roof.

I think God was vegetarian?

 

[numbnuts]

I think God was vegetarian?

No don't think so :-
And the LORD God made clothing from animal skins for Adam and his wife

Good. That means more meat for those of us who like it.

I completely ignore this anti-meat rollocks.

Yet another on-trend fad. ☹️

That’s reassuring! I diluted it a littl less than recommended, about 1 in 3. It was in an awkward spot that involved me climbing a ladder , and as I climbed back down precariously I could feel the excess Wet and Forget dripping on to the crown of my head 🤔. I did go and wash my hair, I’ll report back if my hair starts sprouting luxuriously/ I go completely bald 😁

I am doing good I am eating the animals that steal vegans food. They should thank me.

I don't eat a lot of red meat. Probably prefer chicken and fish. Way back in my younger days I went through a spell of trying vegetarianism, but never stuck with it. Not much good when you don't cook and rely on the ready prepared stuff. Even now, there's not a massive selection. Everything in moderation suits me just fine.
