An hour on my bike and I can barely walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn your bike around and cycle home then. 🤣 Seriously, anyone who doesn’t have problems as they get older is bloody lucky IMHO. My dad would think nothing of walking 10 miles at 105 years old and regularly walked 5 miles every day, wind or shine. Damn, I wish I’d inherited his healthy genes, but it wasn’t to be. I climbed the stars late last night in the dead of night and heard my left knee creeking and thought oh ffs not the knees now ☹️ Edited July 3, 2020 by KhunDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not easy admitting you are getting old.You think you are Peter Pan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunDon Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 He was born in 1908 one of 9 children and life was different back then living in a small village in Cornwall. He never drank much, just the odd half pint of beer, but gave that up in his late 40’s along with smoking. Always ate healthy, home cooked food and always walked everywhere if he could. Different breed back then I suppose. Total opposite of how many people live today. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, our son was born in 2010, so he did get to spend quite a few years with his grandad, as we moved to a house a couple of miles from him when we moved back from Thailand. He also had a lot of great, great, grandchildren, mostly in Australia. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boydeste Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Been watching a 4 hour vid on youtube of carp fishing. It's a pay per month channel that released this free as a taster to get you to pay. Very well done but I refuse to pay as there is so much stuff out there for free right now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One way of stopping drink driving. @monkey_omelette knows it, The Old Manor. Very quiet last couple of days, went past there 4pm yesterday and just now, only 2 tables being used both days and only 2 or 3 people on each one. Maybe busier in the evening.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Went out yesterday with a mate as pubs reopened again in UK so first alcoholic drink for 14 weeks and was nervous. I didn’t struggle though, did a 3pm to 8pm shift and think I hit the 10 pint mark. Bit groggy first thing but still up at 0700 and out for a bike ride so cleared the head. i’m not sure if pubs will have the same attraction to me having been off it for such a while and not missed it but it’s early days so we’ll see. I think I’ll have another go next Friday after work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
