The Retirement Thread

Chilly morning here and frost on the roofs and cars ; garden ok as we fleeced the tomatoes and potatoes yesterday.

Not much doing today as it might rain in a bit.

Oh and cereal for breakfast today, just right for a chilly morning!

Morning all

MrsD has a dental appointment in Minehead this morning, so I'll go in with her and pick up some shopping.
Dog walking on the way back and dropping in to the Butchers Arms for lunch.

Few chores then some weights is current plan.

I'm back on carnivore so I've had a couple of venison burgers.

Never had them but they sound nice. I used to buy venison steaks when I worked with the Scotland rep.....they were always tender and tasty.
Where do you buy them from ?

 

[Dave7]

.............first though I must pack my mini pork pie, homemade flapjack, make drinks and get the bike out.

Hate to tell you but its a bike ride......that's different to a picnic

Just got them in the Co-op. Haven't had a look to see if Aldi have them as well. Must have a look. The Co-op is inclined to be a bit pricy.

Well, at 7.30 i thought i heard the bed calling. I looked in and it grabbed me and dragged me in
A good 90 minutes was enjoyed.

I joined the coop scheme and get members prices on certain offers. Apart from them I agree, it is pricey.

Wrong colour for you. The pair you left with me are pink.

I do like to be fashionable and on trend wherever I go.

We have spits and spots of rain here.

After 'speaking' with @Tenkaykev we have set up a camera to view the wild life.
I've said before that my garden backs onto a brook. Our side of the brook is, fortunately, overgrown. There are at least 2 fox dens one of which is next to our fence.
We set the camera up last night and it needs adjusting but its already picked up a rat** and a fox twice.
**I know there are rats because of the brook and I dont mind them so long as they stay 'over there'.

Just googled it and Aldi do sell them. Difficult to compare prices as Coop is £ per ounces while Aldi is £ per kilo and my head isnt working yet.
