The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

I wish this hadn't been the first thing I read this morning. I like mackerel but tinned in tomato sauce

Yes, 2nd thing I read. Can't get my around that combination.
I can smell it from here and it really isn't nice.

Good morning folks. It looks as though a half decent day has dawned, 12C, no wind and blue sky. Out on the bike at 8.00 so hopefully that will remain the case.

No.1 and No.3 sons plus partners home for a birthday tea for the oldest. He doesn't seem too chuffed over being 34.

No.2 son is not allowed to come as we have not been risk assessed - you'll recall No.2 son has Supported Living in the Community. The parent of another client at the house complained allowing my lad home was a threat to her son's health. This happened three weeks ago an hour before he was due home for my birthday.

We understand the point of view but this has opened the biggest can of worms you can imagine. The organisation which provides the care state a risk assessment is required. We are not arguing with this but have asked if they intend to produce a single blanket risk assessment and provide guidelines or does each individual outing to wherever have to be assessed. Will every Rovers home game need an RA? Hmmmmm.....

Huge can of worms raising major questions in the long-term.

Anyway. Congratulations to @Dave7 on the birth of his first tomato. Have you named him/her?

Ooooh..... I never thought about a name.
Now you have given me an interesting conunderunderum type thingy.
I will discuss it with MrsD and let you know.
I suppose Little Tom is too obvious?

Morning all.
Overcast here but no rain forecast.
No idea what we are doing as MrsD is still in the land of Nod.
Last day of the footy season with lots to be decided and much of it on tv this afternoon.
I have some ribeye steaks in the freezer so must get them out to defrost......tomorrow is our 52nd.... amazing. Cant remember yesterday but clearly recall much of 52+years ago.
Daily report......get used to this.... baby tomato is growing by the day and looking gooooood

Morning. Not long back a short and gentle bimble. Supposed to be rain later this morning anyway.

Not sure we should name Dave's tomato. We are really going to struggle when he has more!

It works for both.

Or call it T. That works as well.

If he has a few it could be T, T1, T2,T3 etc.

Anyways sorry for being late today guys as I forgot to clock in, just een out in the garage and second coated 30 yards or so of skirting board that is going back in as soon as it dries.

Ah.....yes. Bit like our love of bikes being N+1, Dave's tomatoes can be T + 1, 2, 3, 4, etc

There is no such thing as "male" and "female" tomatoes. Each tomato blossom has both "sexual" parts included. With tomatoes, these blossoms are also self-fertile, so a second tomato plant is not usually required to produce viable seeds for the next generation, at least for Heirloom plant strains.8 Feb 2018

Oooohhh looks like I can choose .
Mo........I promise, I may mention T2 if it hapoens but that will be it......you can relax knowing you will not be bombarded with T3,4,5 etc.

I can smell it too, and my taste buds are jangling. Excellent snack.

Morning all,
My knees are still sore from the kickabout the other evening. No riding today.
Sardines on toast for breakfast this morning.
