The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Blimey, what a busy morning.
Millie has been walked, the wing mirror has been repaired, the carpets have been cleaned, I probably left it a bit too long to do them. The water looked very muddy in the waste tank.
I have also planted the first early potatoes.
We are going to have omelettes for lunch, smoked bacon, mushrooms and cheese.

Food likes and dislikes are strange aren't they.
I have never (and never will) eat black pudding or tripe.
As a kid my family was poor. Saturday night would often be a sheep's head. The full head on the table, we ate the brain, tongue and all the flesh, euk.

I love black pudding, but I have tried tripe and onions a couple of times but I really dislike it.

Our granddaughter has a taste for sour, she eats lemons and likes pickled gerkins and beetroot etc. She also eats raw sprouts as if they were sweets, and has now developed a taste for olives. Not thought to try her with pickled onions, I'll get some for her to try.

Some people are like that
My Mum had a friend who would buy large jars of pickled onions and eat them like sweets

AND drink the vinegar like kids drink coke

I guess tastes just vary!

(except cheese - cheese is disgusting and the rest of the world is just wrong!!!!)

If I tried that with my grandkids they wouldn;t stop running until they fell into the North Sea

so I REALLY should not try it

When people mention black pudding I just think dried blood with lumps of fat in.

Egg on toast today.

I had to go to town for a few things. When we got back Mr WD dropped the large bottle of milk onto the ground and it went all over my handbag, jeans and trainers

Sheep head?! You were lucky!
We used t' dream of a full sheep's head.
We used t' live on sheep's nose soup.....

Well, a(nother) gastroscopy is one way to pass a gloomy Monday morning. Just the throat spray option, so at least I was able to come home and have lunch without a chaperone!

Jeans will wash trainers can be washed - or at least scrubbed

how recoverable is the handbag


or - more importantly - how much trouble is Mr WD in and do we need to arrange a rescue mission????
