The Retirement Thread

I couldn’t live down there. 19 here and I’m too hot.

It's a bit cooler now at 28.2c

Mrs exlaser alternates using Aldi or Lidi with our normal supermarket and we are impressed with the quality of some of the products.But Beans are not one of them , my daughter and I really dislike them . 😕.

Keep an eye out for the specials, quite often get Heinz in Aldi recently.

A few military choppers too. An exercise I presume.

That's what I said, "stopping Welsh Dragon from going shopping!"

Can I presume that there's something worth watching on the telly at present.

No run or cycle for me today , spent entire day prepping and painting the hall , stairs and landing , totally knackered now just finished before the light faded too much . can still precariously balance on high landing without frightening myself too much! Next big job is to reroof the shed with corrugated iron. I bought the sheets , they weigh a ton , 12 sections of 1.7m X 1m . Onwards and upwards . A couple of glasses of red wine now and start watching Breaking Bad ( I hear its excellent and never got round to seeing it , is it as gripping as people tell me ? )

I actually quite like this which is only just on the outskirts of the town.

Straight walk from the bedroom to the kitchen, could be handy for those midnight snacks.

Blimey it's cheap where you two are!
I'm looking at stuff up to 475K.
Sounds like I could buy Welshieshire.
We've put an offer in on one at 435K. Fingers crossed.

One going for just under £800,000 near me.

It's had close on £10,000,000 spent on it this century by various owners. Work done that later owners didn't like, so pulled it out and put in their own stuff.

What's wrong with using the proper verb: preparing?

Morning all .
Up at 0430 again.....really annoying
I went to sleep with a mental list of things to do but now feel too knackered.

Aldi do 2 qualities of their own baked beans.
The cheap one tastes really cheap......the more expensive one is imo quite good

Morning. Slightly fresher this morning so I’ll enjoy my walk better.

Good morning folks,
A stroll in the park last night, the fish in the lake were jumping, must be the heat. Noticed the stand of Bamboo has lost a lot of leaves, I suspect we’ve got a colony of Pandas 🐼…

Breaking bad is outstandingly good in my opinion. The morality issues intertwined with choices that the consequences of can be quite harrowing as they reappear in later episodes. The spin off “ Better call Saul “ is also very good indeed.
