The Retirement Thread

You mean if its 3 weeks out of date you donate it.......any less you eat it ?

But seriously we are of a similar mind.

We bought some barm cakes recently. Didn't keep the receipt.
Yesterday I made 2 fried egg barms. Just as we were about to tuck in MrsD nearly chucked up..........the bases were green moldy.... as in really moldy. J
Just hadn't noticed it when preparing.

Everything I donated was in date, the two that were out of date got thrown away.

I hope @Mo1959 persevered with your Tour watching today !

My day, a couple of hours on the bike managing to beat the forecast rain, then a trip to Sainsbury’s, spent the afternoon watching a bit of Wimbledon and a rather fabulous stage of the Tour. Now catching up with The Cycling Podcast.
@GM glad to hear your visit went well, wishing you a speedy recuperation.

I'm in A&E........did this to my finger three weeks back when I fell off the bike. Saw my GP this morning and she diagnosed Mallet finger. She sent me to A&E to get splinted.

You have actually seen a real GP not a voice at the end of a phone or a video consultation.Took seven weeks to se the senior partner to get referred to a specialist

Well done

Yep In person. Phoned at 08.10 and appointment at 10.40. A&E at 11.15, triage, assessment, x-ray, treated and home for 1.00pm.

Sorry.

Mrs P did comment if I'd said I'd fallen off the bike she would have sent me to A&E three weeks ago.

I can’t seem to get interested in the cycling today. Maybe too flat.

Only watched the last 20 K brilliant lead out followed by a brilliant sprint

Pleased you got treated so quickly

I missed it but saw it when they did the after race re-run. Impressive.

Excuse my ignorance but what are Barm Cakes?

Good morning everyone. @GM I hope all is/has gone well for you. @pawl and Mrs pawl, just caught up on this one, good wishes to you both. 🤞

We had rain all night and it's still drizzling now. Slept for eight hours, that's three good sleeps in four nights. I was nackered last night after doing little all day, I don't know what I had last week but it's taking a while to get over. I'm already wondering if I should ride or not tomorrow.

It's Tuesday so we are granddaughter minding and housework day. Mrs P did all the laundry yesterday, unusual. I must go now as have to get granddaughter at 08.00

I'm 67 today - it seems to have arrived too quickly.

Or, to look at it another way, you're
35,215,200 minutes old. Have some

Hope you didn't overdo yourself today.

Ooohhhhh...........here we go.

Soft bread roll, bap, barm, batch......up here it's a barm. Great with chips, egg, sausage, bacon.......or all four at once!!

Not done a lot to be honest. Housework, childcare and now sitting back quietly coughing.

I meant the Tour Dave. I’m finding it a bit boring today.

Hope you make it out another day.

I've just watched the highlights, good work by Cav and his crew but not the most exciting of stages. I spent the afternoon in the garden, I drove past the local B & Q this morning and they'd got a load of bedding plants on clearance, I got 25 plants for 2 quid and spent the afternoon dotting them about the garden filling gaps between the perennials, as I finished it started to lash it down.
