Sorry to hear you are not in 'top form' Philip, so thank you for keeping in touch with us. I am sure many more bacon butties will be waiting for you when you are ready.

Hi & thank you,
It's aching & weakness which is the main issue, I don't actual feel ill anymore. I might though if Pam hits me over the head with her rolling pin if she catches my trying to escape outside. I did a couple of upgrade courses at Warwick in the late eighties & early nineties. Loved it.
I have always been well occupied in retirement, both paid & voluntary, but all paid stopped in 2012. Being a bit down like now, is hard because I need at least the walking exercise. During most weeks, I walk an average of twenty miles, but being housebound since last Tuesday I have become very sloppy. So the sooner am out & about the better all-round. I cannot wait to be wanting a bacon butty more so than eating one. The day I am drooling for a butty, I will be so happy. ![]() |

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

Hya Old L.
Walking with your dog is one of the best exercises, both physically and mentally. I retired when I was 60. I had a business for 30 years. When I left my business I decided to take my A levels, and I chose English and History, and much to my surprise I got them. My real love was History, and at that time Warwick Uni were giving free lectures. So I spent 3 years part time there. I now read History books for pleasure. I have always had dogs. My last two were Border Collies, my present one and my last is Evan, a rescue lad. I had him when he was 1 year old, he is now 14 years of age. Together we have 3 walks a day, a bit slower but as Ben Hogan said we can smell the roses.
I am now 85 and I take great consolations in the knowledge that I have beat the system.
By the way if anyone hasn't read it, Ken Follett's PILLARS OF THE EARTH and WORLD WITHOUT END are well worth reading ![]() ![]() ![]() |
