The Retirement Thread

[SpokeyDokey]

Just been outside and car is already freezing over.

Ours has been plastered in ice all day.

You'll not be able to help those brass monkeys come the morning then?

Is that what the dong noise is

 

[numbnuts]

Morning......I'm awake

 

[Dave7]

G'day cobbers.
Cold..... -3° and feels it.
Now, today is definitely Tuesday. So it's post office/petrol station/auntie then a bit of shopping.

If things ie timings work out we are on sweet n sour chicken with fried rice later.

Morning. Minus 3 here too. A brisk walk shortly.
I’ve done nothing but eat far too much the last few months and paying for it. Way too heavy and instead of getting stuck in and doing something about it, I end up comfort eating instead.

Coooooeeeee. By god its brass monkeys here. -4

Stay safe peeps

Morning all

Spent the evening catching up with our friends who emigrated to Australia. Went late into the night. Just woke up to a frost. That should be a novel experience for them.

Might be treacherous under foot Mo.

Strange but the garden doen't look frosted over despite it still being -3°.

Good morning folks,
Black bin day, group walk, not a lot else planned. Opened another bag of ground coffee, only another six left in our stock before we christen our bean to cup machine.

Good morning from a cold and frosty Coventry, washings out, I'll probably be able to stand it in a corner when I get it in.

How much coffee do you go through to justify one of those?
I would like one but there is only me drinks coffee and that is just one cup per day.

I live on coffee. I hate tea. Can't even stand the smell of it.

Mrs Tenkaykev and I usually have about four cups a day each from our Illy filter coffee machine. I do a full brew first thing and then top it up mid morning. We currently buy Maccu Picchu ground coffee as it's our favourite, we buy a few bags it if we see it on offer, hence the stockpile.
We're looking forward to firing up the bean to cup machine, its a Melitta one which was gifted to us. I've got a couple of bags of Macchu Picchu beans which we purchased by mistake as we thought they were pre ground, but looking forward to trying different varieties.

You wait until the coffee runs out!
