The Retirement Thread

I have just had a can of carrot and coriander soup. By coincidence, unknown to me, my daughter was making a fresh c&c soup and brought me a bowl.
So......2 bowls of c&c soup. Should be good for my bowels

But she doesn't wear frilly knickers and a bonnet now.
She wears bloomers and a sou'wester, still awesome but not quite the same.

I nipped out for another little wander. A chilly wind now.

I might watch a few more episodes of the new series of Father Brown now.

Just got back from a walk into town - one of watches (posh or what!!) was going slow so I went to get a new battery for it

On the way back there were 3 kids in fron of me approaching the park
2 girls - probably 13-14 years old and a younger boy behind

Looked like teenage girel and her friend - and the brother of one of the girls - and the parents had told them to get out and walk the dog
The dog in question was an XL Bully type things - massive shoulder and head - but looked well looked after and happy
One of the 2 girls was holding teh dog's lead

anyway the lad was a bit behind when they got to the park so they didn;t notice him bend down and pick up a discarded plastic bottle

or when he lobbed itover their heads to go in front of them
naturally the dog shot off to chase it - this nearly pulling the girl holding the lead over


Yup - lad doing his right and proper duty as a Brother and annoying his sister I reckon!

to be fair they were all laughing about it when I passed - and calling him several rude names
it was funny

I think sometimes your dreams should stay in the bedroom???

What people have to remember is the spf scale is not linear, so spf 4 is not twice as effective as spf 2 and the improvements get smaller and smaller as you go up the scale.
So let’s say you use spf 15 (which is about the minimum that’s required these days ) that blocks 93% of uvb rays.
Spf 30 blocks 96.7% of uvb rays .
Spf50 blocks 98% of uvb rays .
Spf 100 blocks 99% of uvb rays.

At these levels the most important thing is reapplying regularly. 😀

Thanks. I didn't know that, tbh.

We are having soup today. Big soup with a bread roll ( I have not doubt so will call it something else) the bread roll that is not the soup.

We had an unusual soup at the Carew Arms on the way back from Taunton this lunchtime.
Onion and Cider soup.

'Twas very nice.
