The Retirement Thread

Curtains are now fitted.
I went with Hillary's blinds Co. I know i could have got them cheaper elsewhere but felt happy with them and am pleased with the result.

Mrs Tkk has drawn my attention to the fact that our local M+S now sell a " Toasting Loaf ". Have I been inadvertently toasting the wrong bread all this time? Why wasn't I informed ? I just had a couple of slices of " reassuringly expensive " seeded sourdough ( yellow sticker, so ne extravagance here ) that seems to have survived the toasting process.🤔

Where you and most of the population has been going wrong is...... you have been toasting bread whereas this is bread you can toast.
I didnt get where I am by not knowing these things.

Same here, weeding, hoeing and general tidying up. There are ladybirds on the forget-me-nots and I've seen a couple of Bees on the flowers of the Rosemary bush.
I also washed the car, MrsP was on about taking it to the Albanians up the road, but for half an hour's work, inside and out has been, done saved £25 or so.
I'll give the grass another going over when it is sufficiently dry.
Another day in paradise

I cleaned my car inside and out before it's MOT yesterday.
Apparently, there's a warning about Saharan rain on its way so it'll have been a waste of time 🏜️

Fiancee came over and presented me with a valentines card, she had lost it down the back of the microwave for the last 3 weeks. Better late than never.

I know how to treat a woman on her anniversary.
