The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Had a bit of a relapse this afternoon and felt full of cold. Mrs tenkaykev suggested that I self medicate with a glass of whisky. I had an unopened bottle of " Smoky Black " a peaty version of the Famous Grouse " which is on offer at Tesco at £14 Club card price. I also had an unopened bottle of " Glen Marnoch " a single malt peaty whisky from Aldi which came recommended. In the interests of science I cracked open both and poured a snifter of each. I was disappointed with the Smoky Black, it tasted thin and harsh to my cold ridden palate, and didn't have much body or nose. The Glen Marnoch was head and shoulders above the grouse. It reminded me of " Big Peat " which I enjoyed tremendously.
Anyway must crack on, I've got a cold to cure...🥃

And the chain is a bit slack.

That would be yer global warming/warning . The Botanic Gardens in Dublin are experiencing a lot of similar out of season behavior, so much so it made the news. Temperatures in Ireland are 6 degrees above what they usually are in mid November
