The Retirement Thread

Morning folks. Another gorgeous day for us.

Stockport had gone back top last week hadn't they.
Has this put Chorley back on top?

Yes, correct on both counts. Chorley are top by two points with two games each to play. Chorley have the better goal difference by 6.

I don't support either team but have friends who do. I go to Chorley occasionally if there's a big game and Rovers aren't at home. Must say yesterday was a very good day out.

I have already put a cake in the oven, wanted to make it before it gets too hot (not the oven) the house.

I was hoping for Mrs P's chocolate fudge cake but apparently not on her to do list.

Why is Easter special for Ukranians? (out of interest)

 

[PaulSB]

Lamb, carrots, broccoli, roasties, gravy and enough Yorkshire pudding to batter the county!!

Nothing but complaints if there isn't a wheelbarrow full of Yorkshires.

Quick coffee and up to the allotment.

Why is Easter special for Ukranians? (out of interest)

Generally speaking Easter is a bigger feast in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church than Christmas. Mrs P's father was a Ukrainian war refugee and her mother Italian - she could cook an absolute storm, traditional dishes from either country.

There was a large Ukrainian community in my wife's home town and quite a few Italians. My MIL always made a very special Easter dinner - cold meats, pirohy (eastern European dumplings), lasagne and THEN a roast and pudding!!!!!

Does Mr WD not cycle ?
Mrs D will only cycle on designated traffic free areas.

Most of Mrs D's pictures show nice quiet lanes. Certainly appear very plesant

Hell no. Never

You want to get up off his a@@e and out with you
