The Retirement Thread

[172traindriver]

Mowed mine a few days ago so feel quite smug

Not a problem got it done this afternoon, wanted to do it as near a possible to the unsettled weather as it will probably shoot up with some rain on it

 

[172traindriver]

And what did you do AFTER breakfast

Did he go back to bed

 

[172traindriver]

I have done a load of washing. Bedding changed. Dishes washed. Prescription taken into the quacks in town. And i have vaccumed my car. It is so hot and clammy here now. I will wash my car later on this afternoon or evening i think.

You've been busy Mrs D.
Seems pointless washing a car when rain is forecast

 

[172traindriver]

I now have a nice clean car. It is all sparkly clean now, but i am now dead. It is so hot. Mr WD kindly supervised while i did the manual labour. He did however carry the buckets of soapy water and clean water down to the car for me, so i supppose that was something.

You should have gone for a nice shower then had an afternoon snooze

I know, but it makes me feel a bit better about it. At least it isn't a muddy heap and a total embarassment.

 

[172traindriver]

I will walk 5 miles tomorrow during golf.
The guys I play with will only walk 3 but my game is so bad lately that I tend to walk further to find my ball

Sounds like you arent the lazy sort with a buggy

 

[welsh dragon]

BBC forecast looks unsettled for a week possibly

Yes. Normal weather again which means rain. Yuck

 

[172traindriver]

To be honest, nowadays I couldnt be ar**d..... for the sake of six quid I drop it at the car wash and pick it up on the way back.

+1
We've had this one on here before haven't we. I'm with you, cant be bothered messing about and wasting the time, however others do and probably enjoy the effort and get some pride from doing a job well.

As you live in the sticks there must be loads of muddy heaps about

Went shopping with Mrs P today for a variety of things. Popped in to Asda for a few groceries including salt.

Mrs P announces she wants to try low sodium salt to help her blood pressure, which is much improved anyway.

Regular salt is £0.36/kilo
Low sodium is £5.09/kilo

Yes folks that's x14 of ordinary salt. I think that's 1400% but could be wrong.

A BUPA subscription would be cheaper and those nice NHS people give tablets for free!!!

. Mr WD has high blood pressure and we use low salt. Cheap and cheerful. Or you could just cut down on salt intake.

Personally I need very little salt but Mrs P likes more. I went through a period of cooking with little salt and got complaints.

Can you tell me about cheap and cheerful low salt. The low sodium stuff was hugely expensive.

The increased potassium can kill any benefit of low sodium though.

It is just called Low Salt. You can buy it in any supermarket. Just look in the section where the stock cubes, gravies and ordinary salt is and you will find it.
