The Retirement Thread

I think I might catch up on that. Sounds quite good. I also missed the new detective series that started on Sunday night, DI Rae I think? Need to catch up on that too.

Overcast and quite chilly here just now but a 5 mile wander done.

Watched D I Ray last night.Looks good.

I just binge watched the last 2 episodes of The Split. It was so good.

We've got the last one to go, quite a good build up.

At Aldi today, I looked in the crate for community food donations. Someone had donated packets of Cadbury's Creme Eggs! It's very nice of them to (presumably?) think of leaving treats for children, but those donations are to be given to families who are struggling to feed themselves - wouldn't donating actual FOOD make more sense!

For some people cream eggs are proper food.

I did wonder about that for a few seconds, but surely even the most addicted chocaholics must know the difference!

Back home now.
Caravan dropped off into storage.
Total trip mileage: 1675 miles.
Overall mpg including towing and sight seeing: 34.1mpg.
Having a late lunch now.
First thing to do is to cut my lawns - the front one is about a foot high!

Its raining here, it wasn't in the forecast, I've got washing out.

well, despite the rain this morning I got my washing dried. I went up to the garden centre this morning and came back with Curry plants and a couple of boxes of bedding plants, I've spent an enjoyable afternoon in the garden, I'd got Curry plants in the back garden already but they're years old and passed their best so they got hoicked out, the ground got dug over and the Curry plants got replaced, in the front garden I'd ripped out the old lavender hedge in the Autumn and started a new one, at the time I'd put in Pansy's in for some colour whilst the lavender established and grew, they'd gone over now so I replaced them with Petunias.

Did 3 cuts of the front lawn, at various heights.
Gonna leave it to dry out a bit more before doing a final cut in a day or so.
Now enjoying a well deserved cold beer.

At Aldi today, I looked in the crate for community food donations.

I have just realised that it sounds like I was looking for food for myself in there!

The crate that has been provided for shoppers to leave food donations in...

I keep forgetting to buy extra food to put in there. Hang on...

Okay, I have now written a note on the blackboard in my kitchen on which I write reminders for my shopping lists. Next time I will put some products like pasta and tinned tomatoes in the crate.

I normally buy 2 tins of tomatoes at a time. I'll buy 3 or 4 in future and leave the extras. They are cheap and easy to use in soups, curries etc.

Our youngest lad has reported via Facebook the some thieving toerag has stolen the glass out of the nearside mirror of his ancient Honda Civic.

Why on earth would anyone do that?

Why on earth would anyone do that?

Either to be annoying, or (more likely!) because they own an ancient Honda Civic with a broken mirror...?
