The Retirement Thread

I REALLY needed a woman.
My electric razor needed charging so I set about Trying to find the correct 'female' part of the plug.
I have a sort of box/basket things that is full of various plus n sockets, half of which don't seem to fit anything. I had it emptied on the carpet 3 times. I checked 'everywhere' to no avail.
Then I went into my bedroom and there it was......on my bedside table. Why!! What's it doing there ?
A woman would have found it in 2 minutes.

Just waiting on parts delivery and, hopefully, I'll have it running by the end of next week.

That must be around 1967/8? My first car was an F reg.

Good question.
I ate half of it but definitely prefer standard jackets.

Just been for a short walk.
Put a lightweight jacket on, somewhere to put my phone but boy its warm out there.

I remember the first time I tried sweet potato. It was at the Edinburgh Fringe and there was a food concession selling sweet potato fries. A real disappointment and not a patch on the potato fries ( chips ).
I've since eaten sweet potato in various guises but much prefer spuds

Just about to go out for a ride, the phone pinged. "Your parcel from Amazon is on it's way". It's a bracket and bag to go on my forks. I ordered it last night, they wanted to charge a fiver to have it today. I changed that to free delivery on Wednesday. Now it's coming in an hour for free. Just got to wait for it to arrive.

Bonnie loves sweet potato, lightly softened in the microwave (the sweet potato, not Bonnie for avoidance of doubt) 🐶

My son said he was doing tuna and pasta for lunch.
Silly me was thinking of what I would do ie pasta twirls with tuna and mayo.
I should have known better.
Pasta was spaghetti. Tuna was mixed with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and a bit of chilli. It also had grated cheese and it was heated so the cheese melted.
It really was nice.
They have just gone back home, leaving me a full portion for tomorrow, yummy.

Simple...

I have a drawer with all the chargers in it

and each one has a patch of tippex on it and the device it charges written on it

not that I really need it for most thing - I know what goes where
it is just the ones I hardly ever use
plus also - when I die my wife will have a chance to work out what charges what

or more likely her son
and if she remembers where the drawer is

or if I go into hospital or something - but then she will probably bring the drawer into Internsive Care for me to look in
which - to be fair - will probably be easier anyway!!!!

Imo a bad back needs at least ibuprofen. My Doc told me to take 600ml to kick start it.
