The Retirement Thread

Breaded haddock. We have had a few big meals ( for us anyway) lately, so it will probably be haddock with a bread roll. We have a couple of par bake ones left that need eating. I might have some beetroot with it as well.

Sounds good.
I have a breaded haddock fillet. I have seeded brown bread.
I might go with that.

Morning folks Getting parky up here now, not bothered except for when it gets icy not a fan of ending up on ones back staring at the sky and wondering what happened. Put my garden sprayer into use yesterday to wash the salt n crud of the bike, low pressure so wont do any damage. Was looking at merino wool jerseys on ebay- 2nd hand cycle ones for £30 ish or M&S for a tenner hmm cant be that much difference? I have some Helly Hansen base layers which are really good and bought some shoe covers a while ago

I have long sleeve and short sleeve HH base layers that are still going strong, at least a decade after purchase. Good kit.

Morning all

It's my birthday today - into my 7th decade now.
Best mates are coming around at midday and are taking me and MrsD out for Sunday lunch at the White Horse.

Best wishes!

Another wander done before lunch. The gorgeous weather must have brought the visitors out. Never seen the trail so busy.

That’ll do me for today. I see the New York Marathon is on Eurosport at 1.30. Might watch a bit of that.

I have a new phone. Very simple to set up and transfer information......I just handed it to my granddaughter and got her to do it

Stressful day for various reasons. Been a few months since I indulged in the green fairy, but absinthe hour has arrived early.
Louche lush! Hoping to wake up tomorrow bright-eyed, not too sure about the tail.

Just enjoyed my BIG fish fillet butty. It was actually cod which makes it sooo superior to Welshies haddock.

Good evening all.
Today we went to Hampstead heath. We walked from Kenwood House right through to the bottom of the heath near to Gospel Oak.
Had coffee in the cafe and then walked the long way back to Kenwood.
The dog had a great time. 3 hours walking in total.
Got home, had toasted cheese and ham sandwiches for lunch, and then cooked a lovely red wine and beef casserole for tea. Now drinking the remainder of the wine. 🍷
A very nice busy day.

Good morning. Woke at 0430, managed to doze again but at 0530 I gave in and crawled out of bed.
Just had a coffee. I found some 'espresso' pods in the cupboard. Why does anyone bother with espresso.....there was perhaps a decent mouthful and that was it.
I will cogitate and decide what the day holds out for me.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

 

[Dave7]

I decided to bake a loaf so that in the machine now.
I might nip to Aldi at 0800 (if I can get my enthusiasm up.
