The Retirement Thread

I've done sod all today and have nothing planned for tomorrow

The same as thousands of others, why be different.

Regarding the ubiquitous zucchini (What we call courgettes...I always thought courgettes were female little dogs beloved by your queen.) Here they are shredded and incorporated into cake like bread, like carrot cake or banana bread. Another solution is to cut them into coin shapes, dip in egg and then crust with Panko or whatever bread crumbs you like, and bake until a crunchy crust ensues. Very tasty...you can almost forget there's a zook in there.

How about a book, or an audio book?
I find I can lose myself for hours while reading. My current book weaves English folklore ( the Green Man etc) into a contemporary mix of detective and supernatural.
When Mrs Tenkay was away in Scotland and I was having trouble sleeping, I would play an audio book of Stephen Fry and be in the land of nod in minutes.
Quite a few libraries allow you to borrow books in digital form as well as having audio books available.

And I always thought that courgettes were lightly armed warships...

I had a 20 mile ride at midday, it was windy and supposedly gusting up to 40mph, it was brilliant. 12 mph out and up to 32 back.

Forecast 50 mph winds down here on Tuesday, so we've cut our stay short and will go back on Tuesday.
Don't really fancy towing back up the coast in those sort of conditions.

Where is your sense of adventure.

Morning. Up early as usual.......I won't say up with the larks as I don't think they're up yet!

I might have an early tootle again while it's quiet. I do enjoy an early Sunday when most sane people are still lying in their beds.

 

[screenman]

I want to go and wash the cars, but out of respect to the neighbours I will wait a couple of hours, I am sure they would not appreciate being woken by the sound of my jet washer

Good morning folks. We had lots of winds last night but all seems calm now.

 

[Deleted member 1258]

Good morning people, bright sunny and calm this morning.

Good morning fellow retirees,

The wind has dropped a fair bit so I'm contemplating a bimble on the Brommie.

A fasting day today as I have a blood test tomorrow. This time they'll be taking an armful to run several different tests.
This brings to mind an article that I read yesterday, an 80 year old American cyclist has been banned for doping and had all of her age category awards rescinded 😯

Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️🚶‍♀️🏊‍♂️

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Morning all

Bit grey and damp here on Bodmin Moor, but forecast to brighten up later.
Off out for a walk this morning, then onwards for Sunday lunch at the Rising Sun.

Morning all....Looking out the window it seems a pleasant day for a ride, big wheels or little wheels, decisions decisions!

Better get up and have breakfast first! 🌈
