The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Put a large spoon of curry powder into a saucepan of baked beans, add 3 cloves of finely chopped garlic . Then a large spoon of finely chopped onion . Finally a teaspoon of powdered ginger with a dash of chilli powder . Heat gently and serve on hot buttered toast . Sprinkle with ground black pepper and wash down with a very large mud of steaming hot tea. 👍

Curried bean on toast, excellent.
I nearly always, unless MrsP is partaking, put a slug of hot chilli sauce in the beans.

this came up on my memories on facebook from a year ago.

I don't know what he was on, but it must have been good stuff.

Good morning fellow retirees,
Well it’s over 12 hours since my jab and no signs of any superpowers developing yet, still it’s early days.
A glorious sunny morning, I went out to the recycle bin but it was frozen shut. The garlic I planted has come through and the daffs are nearing bloom.
Nothing planned for today, might try and sort out an issue with the FulGaz app reporting overdistance on some rides. Second coffee on the way and Saturday is brunch day 👍
Have a peaceful day folks

I've had no side effects either, a bit tired last night but apart from that fine.

Morning all

Picked up some bags of compost and top soil yesterday from Asda.
Getting ready for planting my new raised bed, which should arrive next week.
This year, I'm having a go at growing teddies in a bag, tomatoes in hanging baskets and beans, onions & carrots in raised beds.
That lot should do us.

My arm was sore** for 24 hours but nothing apart from that.
**twice, during the night, MrsD managed to elbow me exactly where the vaccination went in.......woke me up for sure.
She said it was accidental

Hoping it’s tatties! Lol.

Had a walk for a couple of miles. Drizzling and a very cold easterly so not pleasant but blew the cobwebs away.

Teddies = Devon taters

Probably snoring too loudly.

Still raining here

 

[oldwheels]

Bright looking morning and forecast to be dry with not too much wind so may get out on trike . Temp just now is 3.2C. I have been out in much colder so I'll just wait for a couple of hours before getting out.

Ah but I was expecting more! As a recipient of the A-Z vaccine I thought I'd at least develop an encyclopaedic knowledge of the surrounding area
