The Retirement Thread

[12boy]

The Horny Goat weed is commonly found all over the American Southwest and has seeds that have 2 very sharp thorns, that like caltrops, usually land facing up. They are hell on bike tires. Once picked up about 30 in 20 feet of path.
So one day at the LBS the owner, head wrench and I were moaning about the little terrors when I mentioned the aphrodisiac effect for both men and women and the testosterone boost for men, and that if this were well known the Goatheads as we call them would all be gone. The LBS was full of people and the noise level was very high, but as soon as the words left my mouth the room was immediately silent until about five guys said "What was that about the Goatheads?" BTW, I don't know if it's true but if someone here wants to know for sure I could probably send you some.

Available over here(Bishop's Hat), but it seems you may have caused a run on it. Seems it's sold out, everywhere.

Couldn’t sleep so just got up. Getting quite blowy out but not cold.

I thought I was tired.

That was a very windy night, seems to have calmed down out there for a while, Lidl and Aldi today masks at the ready

Why do you use both? Prefer certain things in each of them? We recently got an Aldi here, but I think I prefer Lidl.

I am only the assistant, but I think you are correct in preferring certain things.

I have risen!

Good morning. I was too hot last night and couldn't sleep. We had a lot of rain as well but the wind was OK.

Stay safe peeps.

Good morning people.

Good morning fellow retirees,

A sunny calm day 🌞 there's a trip to Weymouth today on the train. A couple of beers and a Veggie café bar are on the agenda 🍺
With regards to the Lidl/ Aldi debate, I'd always found Aldi to be a bit more organised and better laid out.

Here's a treat for you

Morning all

Wind has died down for the moment, but forecast to pick up again late morning. Think I've got a window of opportunity to dash down the A30 in a couple of hours time.

For all you early risers out there; this makes interesting reading.

Morning all. No rain today and medium strength winds.
Rain promised for tomorrow and in for the next 2 weeks.
Very warm last night so lots of broken sleep.
I may mow the lawns if I feel up it later.

Morning all, bright and breezy here.
