You leave for a few minutes....

Aaah, same old same old.

I opened a shop. It didn't work out (the rent nearly doubled at the start of last year). So back to my old job.

Still got the boat. It's for sale soon. Still living in the peaks at weekends, but working in Hampshire.

And I've started cycling again. Have signed up for a couple of properly long rides next summer, and some touring. Just starting to get my legs back! :-)
 
Shame you are selling your boat, but there is always another one someday. Winter is on the way, and I reckon it is going to be really hard!
 
yay!

Hello!

Shame about the shop - we've tried and failed and tried again

shame about the boat too?

Hows the dog (sorry, I forgot its name!)?

Please ignore my post count and badges!

Hello LGF!

Good to see you still collecting badges. :lol:

Failures are good. I am grateful I had the opportunity to have the boat and the shop.

When you look at it, I effectively retired for ten years life when I was in my twenties. To have that and still be able to go back to a good job is an enormous privilege.

Need to get my head down and work now. I need a house now, so I don't end up stuck in a boat when I'm old. There's lots of old, depressed men living on boats.

Lucky died, sadly. It was more than a year ago but I still miss him. I can still hear his tail wagging when I arrive at the boat at night time. He had a good life and he was a good lad.

Besides which, I now have Max. He's still a puppy. Here he is, lying on a double bed for scale. Some of his breed don't finish growing until they're 4. What could possibly go wrong? :shock:

Re:

And what are YOU up to? Still the world's finest taxi driving skip monkey? I thought about buying a taxi, but there's too many of them around me.
