The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Like a bubble to the surface, I have risen. More lounge work is planned and then off over to the youngest tonight for a pudding party.

After you have farted in the bath you mean?
Not that I would know of course

Morning all

Bit of general tinkering today.
Best friends in Worcestershire rang last night to tell us they have put their house on the market and are moving to Minehead. That's only an hour away from us, so we will be able to see each other a lot more.
Happy days!

An expensive move me thinks

Rain lashing down again. Glad I got my walk done before it got as heavy.

Must be Weetabix time now I think.

DIY, Jacuzzi

Not really.
Property prices are comparable, they've always been comfortably off and have recently had a sizeable inheritance.
They are moving up on the property ladder, price wise, not downsizing.
As regards actual moving costs, I would think it would be somewhere around £3k - 4k.

Breckie has been chomped.
The remains of the melt in the mouth bacon chops from yesterday. On toasted, with brown sauce......bootiful

Good day persons of leisure. It's hissing down and set in for the day.

We had a great walk yesterday. Parked outside Malham, walked to the Scar then above the pavement across to the tarn and then back to the pavement. Nine miles. The terrain was varied but not challenging and I'm pleased to say I only felt my calf twice when I stumbled.

Nackered last night so asleep before 10.15 and didn't wake till 7.40.

Today I have boots to clean, some allotment work - sort woodshed, greenhouse, string up garlic, harvest more garlic to dry in greenhouse. Should manage this relatively dry. If not I have a fiendish looking jigsaw puzzle to start.

Oh and hops to collect which I must do NOW!!

Morning all, a wet start. Back to normal after the excitement of the fortnightly supermarket shop yesterday.

I know you have all been waiting to see it so..........here it is.......

The very first tomato I have ever grown.
Its only about 5mm but as Mo and Welshie will tell you, size doesn't matter.

I’m missing my dad’s tomatoes. He had 2 greenhouses full of them and he usually gave me a couple in tubs to grow out the back as well. Can’t beat tomatoes straight off the vine.
