The Retirement Thread

I've just some cheese and crackers with some grapes and caramelized onion chutney for tea. The cheeses were strong cheddar, Shropshire blue and some French Brie. Yum Yum.

My eldest boy is hosting Christmas Day. My task is starters and pudding. So I said to Mrs P shall I just pop to Aldi - it's always good. Mrs P was of the opinion it looks a bit mean. I get that and said I'd do some research..........

....research completed.

I'm now the proud owner of two 24 month matured ALDI puddings. Came 2nd with Good Housekeeping with 81/100 ahead of M&S, Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Tesco!! 🤣

Christmas pudding seems to be a funny starter to me but whatever lifts your skirt.

You have my blessing there although I prefer my cheddar grilled.
I do like Shropshire Blue and a good French Brie.
I have tried a few English Brie lately but imo the just haven't got it.

Bit of a disaster here food wise.
The fridge freezer stopped working overnight . Started working this lunchtime, no idea why. Anyway, had to bin many things and save some which I have to eat over the next 2 days.
Lunch today was bacon butty and I have just had battered cod with chips.
Tomorrow and the next day is already planned.

Thermostat playing up?

I really have no idea. TBH I don't know how to check that.

That can happen if the door is left a bit open

or - more likely maybe - the sensor for the door thinks it is open when it isn't

Er, Thorn Mercury is no longer being made so if it is a run out model you better get it quick.
I got mine in 2016. Great bike.
