The Retirement Thread

[GM]

I have stopped going to the merchants, I let them deliver so much easier, I have a cash account with Travis Perkins, 10% discount and free delivery.

That's what I normally do, definitely much easier, but wifey wanted to see a couple of brick samples and today is the only open day to the public....and I thought her choosing shoes was a pain!

That’s the one . We actually parked the car outside the pub in Elmley castle to start our walk. Think it was I good job we did the walk yesterday and not today . 😂😂

I haven't been round there for years, I remember a touring club ride round there from the 1980's, we rode off the hill down a path that was that steep we were all sitting on our saddle bags trying to get enough weight back to keep the back of the bike down.

Back from another Midlothian Meander. A bit damp for a bit but mostly ok. Still quite warm, about 18 degrees.

Oh good grief now it's All Our Yesterdays in here!

When you get to our age there's nothing to look forward to (apart from more lockdowns) so we have to look back, with rose tinted specs of course.

I've got plenty to look forwards to.

Back from golf to find MrsD has been chucking up lumps. I have given her a glass of potion (brandy and port) which seems to have helped.
Anyway my planned ride is out** as I cant leave her like that (I am so tender hearted)
Boy....it was hot on that golf course.
**Tomorrow I am golfing earlier so will get a ride in about 12.30

Hope MrsD is soon well.

You are just too kind and compassionate for your own good, but, you probably already know that

We used to do similar but with french stick. And we used a mix of tommy ketch and mayo.
BTW what is a remoska ??

It is a sort of low wattage cooker. It is like a large pan, with heating element in the lid.

It is low wattage, so, popular with caravaners and motorhome owners.

They are really effective, and, I would say, one of the few kitchen "gadgets" we have bought, which we have used more than once!
