The Retirement Thread

The sun is shining at the moment, of course it could start hissing down at any time.

Braised beef today with roast potatoes and green beans.

Big council meeting done. I spoke up for active travel being taken seriously and not just the lip service ot currently receives.

Well, I left the car too long between runs this time so it wouldn’t start. Fortunately I had anticipated my stupidity and purchased a portable jump starter a few months ago. I really must get into the habit of using it at least once per week.

I took a run into Perth and got some shopping in Lidl for a change to give it a decent run.

Well done. 👏 You'd get my vote every time for that alone.

Mum has gone, house quiet again.

Bike ride done, only 10 miles, but done in nice sunshine if a tad chilly.

Another wander done while the is out.

I just had one of the little easy peelers I bought in Lidl. Must be the sweetest, juiciest, orangiest (is that a word?) tangerines I’ve ever had. I think their fruit and veg seem a lot better than our Aldi.

You are right a day every 4 years??

Wow - a positively Woke and futuristic family concept - is it being studied by a University to record data and see if it has a chance of working anywhere else??

Just come back from the Hospital

Follow up consultation about my Coeliac diagnosis from October
Got there early and booked in

It all got a bit confusing as they had my wife down as Jackie - and as a partner not wife

which was weird as I was there a few days ago and they had the right info then

after some faffing about it turns out that 2 people with the same First and Second name has appointments this afternoon in the same clinic!!!

and my name is not ALL that common!

funny thing is that a few years ago I fell off my bike and broke my arm - and in the fracture clinic there was ALSO another bloke with the same first and second name!!!!

Wonder if it was the same bloke


Having said that my name os not all that common
my wife and her sister have both got the same married surname

and I and damn sure I am not related to her sister's husband's family
Yes Gods I hope we are not related - he is pretty much the thickest being I have ever met and we have precisely zero in common!!!

Back from a pleasant 15 mile bimble around the telephone box libraries of Boughton, Moulton, Holcot & Pitsford to swap my books over.
Lovely & quiet on the roads & the crunchy puddled reservoir trail in just above freezing sunshine ☀️

Try carefully scraping off any high points with a sharp knife.. Worked for me! 👍
It does take a while to get ysed to them, though..

S’up? Taking the Škoda in first thing to investigate the engine management light - I believe it’s a lambda sensor failure. Will have to de-ice the windscreen first. Then off to pick up my new laptop, bought with the proceeds of my former colleagues’ whip round.

Škoda fixed - the garage agreed with me, fitted a new lambda sensor, drives lovely again.

Quiche and beans for tea.
