The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Morning all.
I'm currently listening to Tony Blackbum on the radio and drinking tea.
Today I am off to White Hart Lane to watch Spurs play Wolverhampton Wanderers. My son and his mate are season ticket holders, and his mate is working today, so I have bought his ticket through the Spurs ticket donation scheme. I am a member of Tottenham Hotspur by the way.
Before that there is this mornings dog walking, and then a cycle up to the local shops for a few essentials.
No cooking today, we'll have a Chinese takeaway when I get back from the footy.

All sounds good.
The game could also be a good one.
A question (if I may be so bold)....if you are a Spurs member why have you bought another ticket?.....or does "member" mean something else ?

Morning all.
Mild and dry today.
Sat listening to SoTS.
TV sports for me today. Think I will have a boiled egg breckie and leave space for my fish and chips later on.

I have risen!

As a member I am entitled to buy tickets, if you can get them, but for this game my son's friend has donated his ticket to me through the scheme. He only wanted the price of a couple of beers for it. Nowhere near full price.

2 beers Vs having to watch Spurs.......think he got a good deal there

Nipping up to Glenmore bakery first thing to pick up one of their glorious malted granary farmhouse loaves.
Bit of pottering in my veggie plot later.
Off to the Bristol Classic Bike Show with my mates next weekend, so I've just bought my ticket online and saved three quid.

Our local (Waterfields) bakery has a very limited choice of bread. Their wholemeal is very nice but that's about all.....the rest are bog standard.

He could water down his two beers as he watches the game in the pub.

Bit of a let down.
Local (Waterfiields) bakery had no wholemeal bread. I then found out its not made there.....they bring it in.
Local Coop bread is naff.
Spar is typical Hovis, Robertson etc.
Aldi does a nice seeded loaf but it's a long way to go for a loaf.

I've been using Warburton's Wholemeal for a while. It's ok, and no added sugar. Not the thickest of slices though.

Difficult ain't it.
As said, I like the Aldi seeded, sliced loaf.
Nice flavour
Good consistancy
They do it in small size which suits me as I get a full week out of it.

Just had an air fryer boiled** egg with fresh crust. Black pepper on egg, plenty of butter on bread.
** boiled egg without water . 8 mins at 150°......perfect.

I had chicken and lentil soup and bread.

We have more rain due around 3pm so I better head out soon if I want another wander.

Our rain is due at 4pm, so, I assume it is moving on from you?, could you please try to absorb as much as possible, so that we don't get so much, our garden is saturated.

A slow parkrun this morning followed by a coffee in the tea rooms. Saw three Egrets as we were heading to the start.
