The Retirement Thread

Dome, not Dom
Home, not Hom
Bone, not Bon

We could start a new game with this

But you miss my point.....imo people cannot say it MUST be SCONE as it has an e on the end when
Gone
Shone
proves its not automatic.

They've "cleaned" that one up since I last sold one.

.......and it still has copulating bunnies in it.

I got back about one having ridden 53 miles, as I expected it was a hard ride home, I was doing what I sometimes did in the past, racing the average speed on the bike computer, I kept trying to keep the average above 14mph, I was doing well until the climb up Purley Chase, that dropped it below 14 and after that the legs weren't very interested, I got in with the average at 13.9mph so I didn't do to bad, and I had fun doing it. I had a Durano on the back for this ride, but kept the Rubino on the front and it felt better on rough road surfaces, though I disturbed the rear mudguard when I changed the tyre and now have to find a way to stop it rubbing. So a good mornings riding, I enjoyed that, and it brings my total for the week to 111 miles, so a more normal week than some I've had recently.

I'm in Harvey's coffee Cabin at Twycross, its been a quick ride out, well quick for me, so I'm expecting a hard ride home.

Is that a case of "hunt the sausage"?

Fitted the new heater element for the hot water system in the caravan. Seems to be OK now, but I'll give it a proper long test before we go away again.
Just cropped 10lb of runner beans. This is the 2nd lot I've picked and it looks like there's another 10 - 15lb on the way.
Note to self......don't plant so many next year.

Scone as in it's gone.

Could one of youse kindly post a pic of a scone? After reading your views on how to adorn it with clotted cream and jam I am realizing what is called a scone here wouldn't fly with you. Next time my spouse buys some I'll send a pic. Let me say the are usually triangular, very crumbly unless fresh from the oven, often made with fruit and sometimes buttered. Ah...looked in the freezer and found a frozen one so there's a pic of the scone and one of the label with ingredients. For size it's about 3 1/2 at the base and 41/2 inches long.
