Another pointless thread

Ginger in a G&T sounds tempting.

The reason for the Ikea kitchen is that we already have an extremely expensive, but poorly designed, kitchen, (installed for the previous owner) but no oven and nowhere to put an oven. The Ikea units have drawers which nearly match the kitchen units we already have. Adding a peninsula seemed the easiest way to add an oven.

RobL. I know that photograph! I had to laugh at the description.
It was Matisse's dove, but his best mate Picasso who did drawing/painting of the peace dove.

Wife and daughter recommend rhubarb gin and Ginger ale.

Edinburgh rhubarb and ginger gin, not cheap but nice..

......and Adnams do a dry gin, must track some down to try..

Whilst you lot are rhapsodising about your poncy cocktails I have been making bread from beer! Gift of Padstow Brewing Co. bread mix and bottle of ale, and as a bonus there is some left in the bottle.

Is that a waste of Beer, or what

Not really Barrie, after all beer's just yeast grain and water, a sort of runny bread...

Can't butter a pint of beer though.

but you can butter up the barmaid

Not if Margaret catches you

True.

How long now Neil??

December 22nd Friday last day of work
But December 31 retirement day

Go on rub it in...

I can't afford to retire, but that's political so I'll just have another beer to drown.

Black Sheep tonight, only £1.29 at ALDI.

Sorry, to drown my sorrows

Knew that feeling a few years ago ( and probably will again in a few more years when inflation bites again )

Beer is basically liquid bread, or bread is set beer. Leffe give a beer bread mix with a six pack. Very tasty, and the bread isn't bad either.

We couldn't afford to retire, but had no choice. A crashing pound really didn't help.
One reason I still have the K5ii. Moving to a smaller house in a cheaper area has helped somewhat.

The kitchen is finished and looks great.

Just enjoying a glass of Merlot.

Oh thanks for that, for some reason I was thinking of a paper cut-out but now I recall the Picasso drawing. Didn’t realise the connection between the two. As for the description, she’s Welsh, they have a way with words! ‘Giddy kipper’ anyone?
