The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Just had some Greek yoghurt with a generous spoonful of this lovely honey mixed in.

I know it’s more expensive than the normal supermarket stuff, but the taste is definitely far superior. 1kg jar so it will do me ages.

Im confused.

The FBI fundamentally exists because Murica has Federal law that requires enforcement across state lines.

So how can we, with no federal law and no internal geographical limits to police powers (with a few minor quriky exceptions), have a "British FBI"?

I was under the impression the Nation Crime Agency was supposed to be the equivalent???

Good morning all from Gran Canaria. It's a very pleasant 21⁰with some very light hazy cloud.😁

Good morning. It's grey and chilly, the weather isn't much better. #2SP is here today. Nana has taken her to toddler gymnastics so Granddad is having a coffee and crumpet.........stopping sniggering at the back. #2SP is in a great mood, she seems to be more realxed with each visit. It has been tough going, a long slog, but I increasingly feel we're building a friendship. While they're out I'll pop to the garage and fit the bike alarm.

The committee meeting I was expected at on Wednesday has been postponed, too many apologies so we would not be quorate. I'm very happy..........Wednesday is now a cycling day!!!.

30 quid!!! Bloody hell, you could buy a hide, some bees and make your own for less than that .
My daughter also prefers to pay extra for good, natural stuff.

I hate choosing decor.
I have gone for........
Sage green curtains**
Very pale green ( almost stone) walls.
Carpet, I have yet to choose but earthy/ brown mottled.
**the curtains are way, way more expensive than I expected but Sue always used to say, I am still living in the 60s.

I had a good brecky so lunch will be apple pie and custard.

With you all the way on this. Denise, who has the allotment four down from mine, keeps bees on it and around other very local locations. Her honey is 100% natural and wonderful to eat. It's not especially sweet and has a long finish. £8/jar.

The local farm shop has its own bees and thier honey is (i think) £7.50 per jar.

I was upstairs in the back bedroom that looks over the backyard. I noticed a delivery lady walk up the yard and anticipated the porch door opening. Nope. I realised she was fiddling around below the kitchen windowsill. Bizarre.

When she left I investigated. Positioning this meant wiggling it past three pots and two bamboo canes. The grey thing is our porch door............less than three feet away!! Very bizarre.

How weird. Must be quicker than bothering to knock.

I see a snooze with my labradors in my near future.

I have returned. Much lighter in my pocket. Crikey meat is bloody expensive now. Eye Wateringly in fact.

The sky is very grey and foggy here. We are expecting rain by 3 pm according to my weather ap.

Up early this morning, gave the cloakroom a final touch up and this afternoon we put everything back.

I’m pleased with the colour, before it was a very dark blue which made it a bit oppressive. This has really transformed it.

Yes, I was going to get some lamb last week and was shocked at the price.
I do like chicken but as the good book says "man can't live by chicken alone".
