The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

I have often said (if its not blasphemous) if I was the creator I would have made plants like blossom, daffodils and tulips etc last longer. Not crazy long but 10-12 weeks. So beautiful but so short lived.

When I was at University in Nottingham there was a group of cherry trees in front of the Arts library

they were lovely when the blossom was out

My neighbour had one in HIS front garden but right next to OUR front garden. When the blossom started to fall and the wind was blowing then our garden was covered in it.

On a ( very ) slightly related note, does anyone remember Blossom Dearie the jazz pianist and singer 😎

Afternoon the shelves I ordered from B&Q came, but they were the wrong ones 200mm instead of 300mm
so sent back, have to go to the store for refund.
Other than that not much else has happened.

What an annoying nuisance that is.

Yeah I tried to buy them from my local B&Q, but they were all out of stock so had to buy on line
and had to wait nine days for delivery too + £6 for P&P, I don't think I'll get a refund on the P&P
but you never know, I'll find out on Friday.

And does anyone remember Blossom Toes the "progressive" group from the late 60's/early 70's?

I'm making a Victoria sponge cake.. I can only find one of the brace of 7" tins so I've had to improvise...
Any ideas where the other one is? 🤔

It's not:
Behind me
Over there
At the back of the cupboard mixed in with all the other tins
Anywhere else I've looked so far

🤷‍♂️

It's just shifted dimensions temporarily, it will magically reappear of its own volition causing you to say " I already looked there - twice! " 🤔

It is in the place you have not looked
but think you have
and you will find it tomorrow

and it will be very obvious

or is that just me???

Yes! But I've already looked twice including once with a torch to check the back corners of the cupboards!

Possibly.. Just in case, I've added some to my shopping list.. 👍
