The Retirement Thread

[gavroche]

Salut tout le monde. I haven't been on here for a bit and glad that no one missed me.
Our house has been on the market for a week now and no viewers yet. I have been busy following my wife's orders to get rid of some stuff we have collected over the years , stored in the cellar.
I am also waiting for spring to get started at the end of the month to move my bikes back in the shed , where they ought to be.
Another trip to the tip is booked at 2 pm but I will go a bit earlier as the car is ready to go and they don't really mind if you turn up early.
A la prochaine.

I think it's snake and pygmy pies for us today. And I have to take my daughter to the Dr's later as we. Mum's 🚕 😆

We're in Jubilee Junction in Jubilee crescent, I've had egg on toast and my Good Lady has a ham batch, no heating on in the hall until half way through the class this morning so slow and stretchy only for the last half of the class, a good workout as usual this morning.

Ours goes in for a MOT tomorrow, plus, yesterday the oil service light came on so an oil change as well. It is a date thing as the mileage for the past 12 months is only 6000. No full service this year, just the oil.
I would do it myself, but you need the plug in box to clear the indication.

Have you checked online. Some models have a special sequence of things-to-do that bring up a different 'secret' menu that is normally only known to mechanics.

Not all - but might be worth a Google - if not maybe there is a cheap device you can get from Halfords that will clear it??

Hi I thought I was having chicken stew for lunch, but it turned out to be vegetable curry, I must label my food that I make for the freezer, it was nice as I was cold as I had just come back from a walk.
I have to start doing the walks again as I can't get my blood sugar down even with the metformin, taking two 500mg per day it was 19.1 this morning.

The old freezer surprise dinner.
We had one yesterday, thought it was a cottage pie, turned out to be a lasagne.

First bimble since November. Just 13.7 miles. I wish I could say I enjoyed it but my 5k jog this morning gave me a much better buzz and sense of achievement. I think if I get the occasional hour here and there that will do me.

Well done Mo.

Just under 14mph a "bimble"!

No such luck, it was over an hour and only 11.3, but it was just supposed to be a gentle one for the first.

Many years ago, I worked for a supermarket group. Periodically, they gave staff a free box of tinned goods, where the labels had come off. Some “interesting” meals
