    Swimming.  Normally swim 1500 metres Monday-Friday. 

    Mind you, got this email yesterday ... I don't think I'll be the first to dip back in :neutral: .

    (scope for water based puns here). 

    OUR SWIMMING POOLS

    Whilst the government has not announced anything official regarding the re-opening of swimming pools, we are also working closely with Swim England and Swim Wales to look at ways in which we can safely re-open our pools and other swimming facilities. These measures will take account of water chlorination, air circulation, social distancing, plus sanitising and operational protocols within changing rooms.
    Swim Wales?

    Ironing has gone out of the window. I think there'll be a bit done when things go back to 'normal' but not like it was before.

    Not gambling has been a big one for me.

    Normally play old Championship Manager games and listen to a couple of podcasts on the way into work on the train, no time for that now with home schooling and work.

    It's weird how I always thought the commute was a pain but it did have that little bit of downtime.

    Of course I'd rather just have no commute and not have the home schooling as the best of both worlds!

    Have done a load of work on the car but haven’t used it much. Went out with a couple of other classic car owing friends this morning for a run out to Otford. Stopped and had a chat from a safe distance then another lovely drive back home


  • In early March I got a new Railcard, a new Coach card and my first senior citizen bus pass.
    I haven't used any of them!
    Timing ffs

    Hardly any takeaways since March. No kebabs or fish and chips, 1 curry, 2 pizza but that's it. Usually have 2 or three a week

    You should start going to Charlton and getting 14 chips rather than 2. 
  • Watched Sky Sports.
    Had a Nero’s.
    Had a beer.
    Driven more than four miles (excluding instinctive trips to North East England)

    Had a haircut 😳

    Seen my family 😩
    Honestly it’s made me realise if we’d moved further away I would have really suffered from not seeing them.

    driven to durham
    driven 100 miles around to test my eyesight
    had my bint on the side round for some post wheezing shagenagins
    looked the nation in the eye and lied through my teeth while receiving a gargantuan stipend from the people of that nation
    repeatedly asked a lying entitled shitstain the same question over and over in apparent expectation of different lying shitstain replies
    made up tissue thin preposterous bullshit lies in attempts to explain entitled shitstain behaviour
    caused the Gruaniad and the Daily Fail to agree on a political matter
    risked infecting aged relatives with highly dangerous respiratory virus

    but I'm not a political heavyweight or mainstream political journalist, just saying like

    nor have I earned a brass farthing in 2.5 months

    From memory of Otford, could it be part of the Old Forge Restaurant?
    I loved it there.
    I loved Otford.
    Would definitely had moved there if we’d had the money.

    It’s further down than the Old Forge. Agree about the place though, it’s lovely there. My wife and I had our first date in The Bull.

    We had a sabbatical.
    I was in there talking to someone about the best holidays I’d had & it dawned on me that it wasn’t the place I’d been to so much as who I’d been with.
    That was about 18yrs ago.
    We celebrate our 25th this year, was hoping to be our favorite holiday destination but that can wait if it doesn’t happen.

    I miss my pret coffee, however I'm saving a fortune not buying the 2-3 a day I normally buy.
    Blimey if you are missing Pret's coffee you have clearly never had a decent coffee.

    Only go in there because I often get a freebie (and that's a coffee)

    Think the fella in the knightsbridge one fancies me.
