The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Just browsing Amazon as you do and I have found a Yam pounding machine. A. What the hell is that and B. Why on earth would anyone want to pay £399 for one.

I’ll maybe make a start on the car. It’s better washing it before the sun hits it. I find it dries better without streaks.

I have a new washing thing. It's from greenworks. A bucket, and pipes and brushes that is battery driven. I've had it for 2 years and haven't used it yet. Maybe I should give it a whirl.

It pounds yams, as the name suggests.
Might be a bit like a sewing machine compared to a handheld needle and thread.

At that price I should think so as well.

I’ve done it. Quick hoover and wash. I’m not as fussy as I was many years ago. It was starting to get very warm anyway.

I’ve left the door open which is something I can’t do with Molly in the house so there’s a breeze coming in. She’s such a nervous little thing I’m not convinced she would actually venture out anyway, but I would never risk it.

Salut tout le monde. Another trip to the tip done and it is quite warm already. I have been told I need to paint the ceiling in the junk room and then I can go for a ride.
Who said you don't have to follow orders once you retire?

My Faceache page is filled with the usual inundation of back to school photographs today.

Our lot don't go back until 2nd or 3rd of September I think.

Just checked. 2nd September.

That'll mean there's a Friday the 13th next month!

Just had the vet on the phone. Molly is under anaesthetic now and they have discovered she needs 3 teeth out rather than one. £585. I think that will be half the molars gone now.

At least she won't get infections now and she will feel better afterwards. Good luck Molly 👍

If she needs this again, I am tempted to tell them just to remove all the molars. I think she might let me brush the canines and incisors.

Have you never pounded your own yams? To be fair, it does do casava, plantains, cocoyam (???), potatoes and other African foods as well so it's multi purpose.

Maybe you could pound your quads and hamstrings after exercise

Good afternoon, just on our way out to our Granddaughters 7th Birthday party. Quite a few of her classmates will be attending. It will be in the garden of her flat in Westbourne which should be more manageable. Wish me luck...🤞
