The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Morning all

Off to meet up with our best mates who've just come back from a 3 week holiday in France.
Meeting up in Minehead Wetherspoons.
Picking up some goldfish for our pond on the way back.

🐱 must be feeling the cold. She got up when I came in as she knows she gets a few Dreamies when I’m having my breakfast, but she’s gone straight back under the duvet.

Morning. Just the riverside trail this morning and nipped into the Co-op on the way home.

@Dave7 Was it you who asked for my verdict on the Simon Howie Lorne sausage? I thought it was nice, so bought another pack plus a pack of sliced haggis to try.

This must be the coolest summer we have had for a few years. I don’t mind personally as I prefer it, but I know the majority of peeps will be disappointed.

Not sure I’ll watch much of the cycling this afternoon as it’s a flat stage. I might just try and catch the last few miles.

Yes 'twas me. I see they are not actual sausages as we know them but sausage meat that you slice up.

I don't care what people say, this ain't summer

I won't disagree with you there.

What would Welsh Dragon be doing with 40 cans of it?

Pity there isn;t someone with the initials of GT - just to extend the joke

(using the word "joke" here might be pushing its meaning a bit!)

Chicken stuffing pie, gravy, mashed potatoes and swede followed by bananas and custard - I feel full up now

That’s a lot for lunch. Do you eat less in the evening?

I’ve always preferred a light lunch and my main meal at tea time.

Hi Mo I only have two meals a day now breakfast and lunch, late afternoon/early evening I may a small slice of cake, but that's all.
So far I have kept my weight at 79kg blood sugar is a bit too high at 5.6 avg and BMI at 22.8

You do eat well......I am jealous as my appetite is so poor.

Never made my jog, got changed out of my running gear and went for a walk instead. D

Been for a grey and blustery couple of hours on my mtb. It’s good to have the summer mtb option when the paths are rideable, enjoyable despite the disappointing weather.
