The Retirement Thread

[Lee_M]

So today started with an eye test followed by the optician trying to sell me some £300 glasses, we then progressed to b&m where I bought a couple of pairs for £1.99 each, then a nice lunch and a couple of craft ales at beer heroes in chester.

Then back home and moved my bikes into the garage and fitted a load of wall hangers so they'd fit in there as well as my kit car, and then set the vacated bike store up as my new home brew room.

Finally took the dog for a walk.

It's been a long day, I need a job so I can have a rest

We found out how to do it.

Oh, we fixed it now!

It wasn't working well and there were no bits left over.

Did he throw them in the bin, so there are none left over?

 

[172traindriver]

Sadly Welshie seems to have rejected my mushy peas offer. Even the offer of a hot double portion didnt do it.
I am rethinking, reforming and will shortly redouble my efforts.
I fear my offer of a foursome including Classic might have put doubts in her mind.
Onwards and upwards then.

There's got to be something that tickles her fancy

 

[172traindriver]

He got rid of/hid them before giving it back. You'll have tried plugging it in first though?

Or the fuse?

 

[172traindriver]

Mine was made in 1912. One of the old black and gold ones

And you trusted Mr Dragon with an antique?

 

[172traindriver]

1966-1970 Mrs D was a machine demonstrator for Singer. She worked in various north west shops, teaching on sewing and knitting machines.

Welshie may need some training?

 

[172traindriver]

Mine's a black & gold one.

You got one Classic?

 

[172traindriver]

Not a treacle. Just turn the handle.

Treacle??

 

[172traindriver]

You nearly broke yours!

Nearly or did?

 

[172traindriver]

Steamed treacle pudding and custard, Luvverly. Funny how topics go adrift.

She's got her mind on mushy peas and what happens afterwards

 

[172traindriver]

Bugger

 

[172traindriver]

Did not break it. The tension wasn't working properly.

You been over working it?

 

[172traindriver]

We found out how to do it.

Thought you said it was down to Mr Dragon?

I helped. Sewing machines are not something he is familiar with.
