The Retirement Thread

I pricked out three different types of tomatoes, Ailsa Craig, Money Maker and Alicante. Also a dozen pepper seedlings have been potted up.
They are all in the greenhouse, fortunately there is no frost forecast in the near future.

These sound like the varieties dad used to grow as well. Can’t beat fresh tomatoes straight off the vine. I used to eat loads when I was over visiting.

Phew. Good afternoon. A beautiful day in Lancashire he says dashing in and out over a brew and sandwiches. I've spent the morning on u3a Treasurer year end stuff and installing anti-deer gates! Two more different things I can't imagine.

This afternoon it's u3a Film Club which I run. Red Joan is this month's offering. Then we are out to dinner tonight.

Double phew!! 😁

Good old fashioned varieties that are guaranteed to crop well in greenhouses and outside.

I just watched that a few weeks ago. Quite enjoyable.

Just arrived in Gateshead with my youngest, we are up here for the Premier League Darts this evening, stopping in Leeds on the way home tomorrow to have another look at the university as he needs to make a decision between York and Leeds and is struggling to make his mind up.

Just up the road from me

Other than the Darts, not sure what the attraction in Gateshead would be, the Sage building, perhaps, and walk across the Millennium Bridge to the Newcastle Quayside, plenty of eating and drinking opportunities.

Enjoy!

Sat in the garden right now. Very pleasant. The nice whisky helps
A wasp just flew into the flat and I can't find it. I hate little stingy barstewards and will gladly spray it when I find it.
Oh yes
Fish finger butty for me.

Bruce hurt my arm the other day. I was holding his lead, arm bent, while I chatted to someonene and he tried to bolt after a squirrel, yanking my arm straight at supersonic speed.

Now it hurts to bend or straighten the arm, and the inside of the elbow hurts like f*****. Struggled even practicing the bass thing morning.

Any ideas whatnhe may have damaged?

I'm not certain

not a doctor and all that

but I would say that you have probably hurt you arm


Hope this helps

Useless fact #357.
Wendy Smith, lead singer and musician with Prefab Sprout, became the director of creative learning at  The Sage in Gateshead in 2015.

I’m binge watching This City is Ours. Just one episode to go. Quite enjoyed it but struggling a bit with the thick Liverpool accents.

I've watched the first episode, Scouse accents leave me a bit bewildered, but Sean Bean with his thick Yorkshire accent seems a little out of place.
A reasonable start to the series though.

T'internets down. Wanted to waych something on iPlayer and got a network error. A bit of switching stuff off and back on, checking cables and it's still not working. Hopefully it will reconcile itself overnight. 🤞
