The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

The last two Christmas's he's had the team kit ( he requested that it be minus the sponsors logo, as it was one of the gambling companies 😎 ).

When my kids were small Rovers were sponsored by McEwans Lager. The club had to offer replica kit without the sponsor's logo to under 16s.

Is this a version of the Catholic "Way of the Cross?"

I don't know if other churches do it

It was this :-
Very poor turn out for three churches about 50 in all and only 5 from my church !!!

The wind has picked up, it's going to rain later on so I cut the grass and planted my runner bean seed in trays in the greenhouse.
MrsP is listening to Tony Blackburn on the radio and I'm having a beer.🍺

I've got some chicken thighs so i am going to do chicken in a white wine sauce with green beans and sauté potatoes.

It's peeing down so we've decided to drive to Minehead instead of getting soaked walking to the station.

Going on a walk with three other churches around the village ending up with hot cross buns and coffee

Why did this suddenly pop into my mind?

Part of this was filmed in North Finchley, and by chance I was there early on a Saturday morning to see it being filmed.

As it's horrible weather I started a job I've been putting off for ages and headed up into the loft to clean out the old insulation and gain access to the pipework in preparation for a plumbing upgrade. Fully kitted out like a SOC forensics technician I got a fair bit done before calling it a day. Found some old comics and newspapers circa 1962 so they must have been from the original occupiers. I left them up there and will retrieve them on my next foray.

They said it was going to rain and it has, gone cold again too.

I suspect this is too far away for you but Hopetoun Gardens, Edinburgh is very good if you're ever through that way. I used to trade with them when it was owned by Dougal Philip and Lesley Watson. It is now employee owned. When I knew the centre they were very proud to always use local Scottish plant suppliers whenever possible to overcome the problem you describe. It made selling to them hard work!! I don't know if it is still the same policy.

Thanks PaulSB I havent a car or a greenhouse so its been problematic precuring plants and protecting them. My spending spree is over for this year and have managed to get most things i wanted,[ebay] just need to keep the ****ers alive until the balmy/glorious/sunny/scorching highland spring weather arrives.....

Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! I've been looking forward to tomorrow's ride all week. Rain. Rain. Rain. I'll get my kit ready but it isn't going to happen. ☹️

On the bright side Rovers won, I have a G&T and a Mrs P lasagne is in the oven. Mrs P makes lasagne that's out of this world.

Evening all . Today wasn’t as bad as forecast . Only had a couple of very short periods of very light drizzle. Mrs exlaser even managed to get the bed clothes washed, on the line and dried. I managed to get a few jobs done too . Even managed to get my best bike out and checked over, all I have to do is ride it now. 😀
Not looking good for the bank holiday weekend though.
