A cup of coffee anyone?

I love weekends. You would say: why? You are retired already?

Well, my kids aren’t nor some of my friends, so for them it’s the only time they have to pay a visit.

So I bought a nice espresso machine as soon as I was retired and I have the impression people are getting used to it

Anyway, it’s great to offer people a drink, especially when it is healthy and quite delicious. Especially Sunday at lunch with fresh goodies from the bakery: yummies!

Cucumber and tomatoes

Today I saw some cucumbers and tomatoes to be kept indoors until May.

We do have a simple greenhouse which when the sun shines these days is a warm place to take a lovely afternoon nap: you just need to make sure to wear a thick sweater

Anyway, like this we will fasten the harvest period of fresh tomatoes and cucumbers. Especially tomatoes if eaten by the dozen are said to be good to prevent cancer, so that’s for sure a must these days!

Phone bills make me angry

Last year November I retired, which means that my phone bill should go down. Of course my first bill in December: still paying the normal fees.

Not to worry: I phone the phone company (that’s how they make their money I guess…) and told them the problem.

Blablabla: first bill sir, was not yet in our computer system sir, for sure will be ok next time and than we will calculate a refund.

So this month: still the old billing system and of course no refund.

Well, seems I will have to drive their myself and make sure I see my name and details in their system before I leave the building…

As usual: everything will be cheaper… if you go the extra mile…
