The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I went out with a Welsh lass who taught me a load of phrases like good morning, I love you, lovely day...except she'd actually taught me a load of swearing and insults. How I didn't get murdered several times over at her local pub in Bangor is anyone's guess.

I'm OK in German, not quite conversational but not far off, halting in French, know a little Gaelic, and can drop into Shetlandic patois very convincingly. My grandpappy spoke Cornish, which I wouldn't mind a crack at.

I take it that's the Coronation. Don't speak Welsh apart from a few words. My grandchildren however are all fluent Welsh speakers

Big Ears 👍 Excellent! Me, absentee patriot

I've been cleaning out the trap on the kitchen sink waste pipe, I also took the chance to give the cupboard under the sink a clean and tidy, despite a substantial application of air freshener I can still smell the drain.

I've just sowed my climbing French beans and runner beans.
MrsP is watching the Westminster show, I am trying to find other things to do.

Just got up having managed to miss the Big Dressing Up show - Ruritania or what!

Got to bed about 2am, got some z's from around 4.30am.

Dossy afternoon planned.

Retirement - bliss!

What a busy boy i have been.Weeded the extra bit of land,weeded the parking area.Cut the lawn,cleaned my two bikes then cleaned the kitchen floor.Then decided after a brew and a sit down it would be a walk to Aldi.Two beers bag of nuts and a nice bar of chocolate.Well then it rained and rained and rained.So i thought i cannot be ars bothered so no beer or choc or nuts.

Everything is prepared for the Chicken chassuer, just waiting for our friends to turn up at 7pm.
Chicken thighs trimmed and coated in seasoned flour, mushrooms chopped, shallots chopped,
Green beans topped and tailed, potatoes cooked , ready to be sauteed.
MrsP has decided on prawn cocktail to start, so it has a bit of a 70's theme to the nosh tonight.
A couple of bottles of Pinot grigio, part of which goes into the cooking, and a bottle of Cote du Rhone Villages. Just to help things along.
See you tomorrow.
