Confession

The Consort has asked me to point out that microwaving a prawn red thai curry that she had cooked a few days before and put into the fridge does not constitute my "first success".

I apologise unreservedly for any misunderstanding that my post yesterday may have inadvertently caused.

Tomorrow could be my last day at work so then reality really kicks in.

First success !

The Consort went straight from work to her work-out so I decided to go in at the deep end and attempt my first creation. Thai prawn red curry looked easy enough so in for a penny......

....and here it is:

Nothing to this cooking lark :-)

Another day closer

No further news today about my imminent departure - but one thing for sure is that its a day closer. The Consort rang during the afternoon to see if she still had to cook this evening and I think she was disappointed when the answer was yes.
So instead of cooking news I'll pass on my latest news on investments which in my very humble opinion is far more interesting than cooking will ever be......

Bought Vodafone at £1.59 last week and today closed at £1.71
Holding Wessex Exploration - still languishing at 4.5p but I'm hoping that their next well exploration is positive
Holding BT - topped £2.50 last week - may sell some soon to reduce my exposure

Wonder what tomorrow will bring.......

Welcome

Hi and welcome to my Blog !

"How would you feel if I left my job and took early retirement ?" asked 57 year old male stressed out from 41 years working for the same company. "OK with me, on the condition you cook on the days that I'm working" came the unexpected response from The Consort. "And why don't you write a blog about it?"

So here I am on the verge of having to start cooking for the first time in my life (apart from the odd emergency meal).

I'm still a few days from starting my new career but this blog will capture the successes, failures, mundane and special - hope you enjoy it !

And the title of my blog ? keep coming back and answer will be revealed !
