The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Morning all fellow retirees. A nice sunny start to the day if a tad chilly. Currently listening to Tony Blackbum on the radio and drinking a mug of tea.
Another quiet day will be had drinking more tea, listening to the radio and messing about in the garden.
I will sneak out to walk the dog, and then maybe get out on the bike for a few miles.
Stay safe everyone.

@Tenkaykev I think everyone will have those moments or days at this time. Its like sitting on a time bomb.
Its up to all of us to keep each others spirits up. May be just a nice word, bit of humour, even black humour (but not too black).
Look after yourself kev and 'keep your pecker up'

Back a nice brisk 5 mile walk. Just a couple of early joggers out. Porridge this morning. Can hear it gently simmering. Should be ready now I think.

We actually have a bit of sun at the moment.

Mo, a serious question if I may. Why do you do it in a pot? It must take 2 hours to clean it up?
I use the packet. Mix with milk or milk/water, 2 mins 30 secs in the micro and its done.
It tastes good but TBH its many years since I did it in the pan so cant compare the two.

Morning all. My lovely wife has just brought me up a cup of tea. I've also been listening to Tony Blackburn, well the last half hour of it. Switched over now to Radio Paradise.

I remember the XYY man and the Six Million Dollar Man, but not the Omega Man.

You didn't miss anything believe me. . You would have wasted an hour and a half of your life.

We did our first hedgehog release last night. This is Bilbo who will hopefully remain resident on our allotment. He has a friend called Barry - hard to tell them apart. View attachment 510952

For the last couple of weeks we've been finding a hedgehog in our garden, well the dog has when we let him out to do his tiddle before going to bed. He just stares at it barking, so I have to go and rescue it. They're nice little creatures, wife has been leaving a little bit of food for it.

I have never seen a hedgehog where I live. Not even dead ones on the road.

I've used that too. Think it was after calling in to see dad on my early cycle runs and he was making porridge the proper way so we had some together. I've got decent pots that don't really seem to stick. It was steeping while I ate it and cleaned easily.

Really? I thought there would have been loads around there.
