The Retirement Thread

[Gunk]

The very last ride of the year this afternoon about 50 miles with a good friend of mine, we connect the comms in our helmets so manage to have a nice natter whilst we ride. tomorrow I’ll wash all the salt off.

We both had a trial fit of our luggage ready for our French trip in April.

Pizza for tea.

No idea what I'm having.
I could have similar to you ie pizza and chips or maybe a curry ?

Mrs Tkk is currently heating up some " Bang Bang Cauliflower " from M&S. I have knocked up some peri peri rice and melted some grated cheese into it, added a splash of soy sauce and a spoonful of Mrs Darlington's extra jam ginger jam. Worked really well 😎
I've also been playing with a " Flir " thermal camera that Octopus sent to use for a week. Good fun and quite useful, found a place on the back door where the weather seal is failing. Traced the central heating pipes under the floor and can see why the cat who visits from time to time likes to lie there.

Good evening. #1SP is here and beginning to quieten down. She's currently making a thank you card for our neighbours, then it will be shower, bed and story.

I'm taking advantage of her distraction with card making to have a quiet whisky.

Last hospital day of 2025 completed yesterday. Ambulatory was very busy and all patients were upbeat. Probably as 2025 was a crap year for them and it is coming to an end. 🙂

A pheasant topped itself on the front grill of our car yesterday. Going to be £270 to replace the grill and recalibrate the radar sensor. Grrr! ☹️

Have a good day all.

Was the pheasant still in a suitable condition to roast?

Whilst you have it check the house from outside for any hotspots. The radiators for cold spots and your fridge. Also useful for checking the oven is heating evenly.
