Only 599 days till retirement

But who's counting. I've been so busy lately at work mostly but these last 599 days are going to kill me I swear.

Last weekend I've titled "Mother's Day Blowout." There was no one to celebrate with so I said, "piss on it, I'm going to spoil myself." Tried two new restaurants  here in town. Friday night was Cafe de Sol, Mexican food. Now I was able to creatively not cheat by ordering the pork soup and skewered grilled shrimp. Saturday, was at the Zembaba Ethiopian restaurant and I had the minced beef, spinach, mushrooms and home made cheese, goat stew and green salad. Yummm!!!! Bought myself two huge hanging flower baskets for the balcony. Then played bingo 3 times and am bingoed out for the next year or so. Felt I needed it. Oh, and read a book or two.

  2. Hi Horf

    It does no harm to spoil yourself once in a while. Your two restaurants sound interesting, can't say I've ever eaten in an Ethiopian restaurant but your food choice sounded brilliant.
    Since the UK government, in their wisdom, changed the laws governing when women, or ladies LOL, (see our blog and the comment to Lynda on the 'How can I lose' article) can retire I try not to count how many more days I still have to go.
    Life is for living and enjoying - a nice glass of white wine at the moment. Well it's Friday evening here in the UK the start of the weekend. Hope you enjoy yours.

    All the best Jan

    1. Thanks Jan and it's a 3 day weekend for us for what is called Victoria Day. We don't care what it's named for or who, we are celebrating an extra day off, woo hoo! Raise a class for Queen Victoria, because of her we have an extra long weekend!
