The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

A misty 7.5 mile walk done. The air was quite damp and had to towel my hair dry when I got in.

I think it will burn off later and get warm again. I will try and get another wander either before or after lunch then I want to watch the Vuelta.

Off to Old Trafford with my youngest for the Legends match

Morning all

My neighbour's away on holiday in Turkey for two weeks and he's left his front door open. Mind you, he never locks it; I always walk in and give him a shout if I need to see him. I'll turn one of my cctv cameras to cover his frontage until he gets back. Can't see there being any problem - nothing happens here.

Might have mentioned this but my daughter takes after her Mum re food that is passed it's date. Doesn't bother me eg tin of beans or frozen stuff.... Get it down yer neck.
However, when they moved in we had to share the freezer and I was too ill to care.
So, last week I fancied waffles with beans and sausage. Problem...... waffles had been binned!!! Can't blame her as I recall telling her to do what she wanted.
So...... T'other day I bought frozen waffles.
Guess what I will be eating later .
Air fried waffles with a tin of beans n sausage. Double yummy.

Letting you hair burn off can be hazardous, life threatening even.......................take care

You're not supposed to eat the skin Mo

Nothing wrong with eating the skin. Saves you having to peel it first.

Ten Hag could do worse than swap half of those legends (or leg ends) for what he has got now.

Says it all really...... Even the monkey wouldn't eat those bits.

But a monkey in the wild wouldn't be eating a banana, so they probably don't realise/know that they can be eaten. Same as the skin, they peel their bananas, discarding the skin.

Bananas are supposed to help you sleep, but I find they give me heartburn if I eat them before lying down.

Maybe you get used to them over time as they don't seem to help me sleep.
Maybe if the bunch were big enough and fell from a decent height...

Morning all. Yesterday Welshie mentioned something that made me remember to put some washing out on the line. You would have thought she would have reminded me to bring it back in again. It has been raining during the night.

Nobody mentions bringing washing back in. They only seem to mention putting it out, in which case where does it all go?
Is it done as an offering/thank you for decent weather?

It's gone darker than a dark thing here. We may well be in for a storm.

I'm good, but I'm not that good

Bright but very breezy sums up the rather clement weather today.

A bit of gym followed by a town stroll is on the cards. The mooted walk is partially for exercise and partially to collect Mrs SD's fancy watch that has been at the jewellers for a clean and repolish.

Not heard back from the recommended roofer re our proposed dry ridge - I get impatient/annoyed when people do not respond quickly. Daft really, as there could be any number if things that get in the way of a rapid response.

We have been watching Breeder on Netfilx starring (& produced by) Martin Freeman. And very amusing it is too. The bad language used is not a problem to us and is essential to his role as a man with anger management issues (no physical violence involved). The interplay between him, his wife, and two charming young children is fascinating to observe.

Party for two night tonight. Gin & a very posh bottle of Aussie Shiraz will be involved.

If I am not too knackered from the above, and if it is not too windy, a bike ride beckons tomorrow. Do two 'ifs' equal premeditated excuses for not 'getting out', I wonder?

Have a calm & relaxing day all.
