The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

I've just planted 4 rows of spring onions, 1 row of radishes, 1 row of lettuces and 2 rows of carrots all in one of my raised beds.
The runner beans, in the other bed, are quite prolific; dunno what to do with them all, but I'll certainly plant fewer next year.

Bearing in mind I know less than nothing about the subject.....is it not late for planting that sort of stuff ?

Nope.

 

[Dave7]

Nope.

Well I deduced that or you wouldn't be doing it.
When will they all be ready ?

I had an online row with Dyson which lasted a week. I was trying to buy a vacuum @£550. Their service was sooooo bad.
It came to a head when (you couldn't make this up).......they emailed me to ask for my email address .
After a week of this I cancelled. I can get it from Argos at the same price.

DVLA consistently had my address wrong on my driving license and refused to correct it. They eventually sent me a letter saying they could not change it to the correct address with enclosed a driving license with the correct address.

We had enough green beans and new potatoes yesterday to go with the lamb that we had.

I have just spent an hour sorting my Amazon wish lists out. 1 for books. 1 for fabric. 1 for crafting tools etc. Looks very tidy now and I can actually find things now.

Now, what's next.

Today I have cleaned my and Mrs P's walking boots.........it is still raining. I must try to think of something useful for the afternoon...........😴😴😴

Number 1 the day we got married.
Billy Idol did a good version of it years later but for obvious reasons this is my favourite.

This is one of my all time songs........good choice.

I used to think that but apparently it doesnt get to the roots. You have to water plants properly.
I am happy to be corrected though.

You're correct.

Why useful? Wouldn't enjoyable, do?

That'll be theft of Yorkshire earth and transporting it over the border!

This was No 1 when we got married, how appropriate!

This was No.1 when I got hitched.

Your rain for just an hour is more than we've had here for a month. Envy envy. 33C today with more to come. I think digging up roses till it gets too hot will replace a ride today. However, there's lots of other fun to be had...repacking the beatings on my sheepherders wagon comes to mind and maybe giving the ancient pooch a bath. She snivels and whines but when we're done she gambols and runs like the pup of yore.

Bouncing here just now! Don’t know if the pic really shows how heavy it is.

Hanging offence ??

He can walk the ancient Border of Yorkshire saying he's sorry.
