The Retirement Thread

We are having a mish mash of food today. Pie, potatoes croquettes and peas.

Mish mash for me too. I heated a big tin of sweetcorn and mixed tuna through it.

I had marmite and banana on wholemeal toast fot lunch followed by a portion of cake. I say portion because the cake turned out a disaster, a combination of burnt on the outside and undercooked in the middle. Makes a nice pudding with custard though, so not waster.

Morning folks wind and weather is good so think i'll have a spin over to Loch Fleet near Dornoch. Always something to see there and sometimes a surprise like an otter, sea eagle, peregrine and one time a hoopoe!

Nice to be able to say you have seen them.

Excitement of the day is, I have given my indoor plants their monthly liquid feed.

You do live an exciting life.......don't overdo it.

I've been out on the bike for a while, it is now raining.
I bought some sausages from the butcher and I will make a tomato sauce and do a sausage tagliatelle meal for tea tonight.

Another year closer to hopeful early retirement, today I hit the big 60. On holiday in the Peak District, the plantar is a bit hit and miss so only a bit of walking planned.

Many happy returns ! 🎂🍾
(I celebrated my own 6-0 just a couple of weeks ago).

Marmite and banana on toast.I will have to discuss this with the marmite appreciation society to discuss if that combination breaks the society’s rules

Morning afternoon still not feeling very well, but at least my temperature is down, but I still very weak.
Had some soup for lunch and later might try some scrambled eggs in toast.

I had 1/4 of an egg sarnie 2 hours ago and so far it has managed to stay down. It has threatened to revisit me a few times but so far so good.
Only 1/4 of a sarnie but the best I have done for 10 days.

Er, it's a bike. A CGR-AL for general all round all weather duties.
