The Retirement Thread

Food bin ??? Thats a new one on me.
Our food goes in with general waste.

Ours is separate. We have bio degradable bags to put any leftover food into, then I to the food bin. Its used to make compost.

Back from an 8 mile walk. I thought I was being clever avoiding the usual trail after the rain and still ended up wading through standing water and got back with sodden feet. Trainers are in the sink steeping now.

Can hardly wait for my porridge to cool slightly to get tucked in. I’m a tad hungry.

Spent the afternoon putting insulating sheets behind four radiators that are mounted on external wall’s.

is it effective ? differing opinions I hear

Evening all , I hope everyone has had a good couple of days and Ernie has been smiling on you all.

We are away in Horning on the broads for a short break this week as it’s my 60th birthday today . I’ve had a lovely day not doing a lot , picnic on the pier at Cromer then coffee and cake. Then down to Horsey gap to look at baby seals. Tbh we just went to walk on the beach and were very surprised to see how busy it was and then realised it was because it’s the grey seals breeding season and there were lots of new pups on the beach .It was a lovely surprise.
We are just back from the local pub that’s all of 50 feet away 😂 where we have just had a terrific meal.
So all in all it’s been such a lovely day I nearly forgot I am sixty . 😂😂

It seems to be .In the evenings we usually have the thermostat set at max 22 c to21 c (we both feel the cold it’s an age thing) Last night left it set at 19c.which was warm enough.I usually need a fleece top with a thin fleece underneath and felt comfortable. I have only insulated the rads that are on exterior walls.
Seems effective Time will tell.

The insulation was Super Foil Rad PAC It looks like bubble rap covered in an outer layer of foil,so it quite thick.Reviews are good

I took the car down to stick something in the recycling centre and took a notion for black pudding on the way home so popped into the Co-op. Just finished a black pudding sarnie.

I have had Calamari as a starter but not as a main course.
