I knew academia was having a tough time like everyone else, but keeping people in crates adds a new level. Sheesh.

RMweb Premium eldavo Posted July 4, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) ... But, should I aim to do things I did when I was younger again and probably look daft and make a fool of myself, or should I just accept that I am older and metaphorically settle in front of the fire with a glass of amber nectar and read a good book. Both sound quite attractive. Sounds like I'm having one of those midlife crises things.Only one rule. Do the things you want to do. Oh, and you should be of an age where you don't give a damn about how you look to others! Enjoy the next stage of your life. You'll be so busy you won't believe you had to time to work.

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted July 4, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 4, 2015 Evening all from Estuary-Land. Show seemed to go well but no information as yet and there's another day tomorrow. Had to shoot home just before the show opened as I'd realised I'd left a couple of fanlights open but made it back in time (just) but inevitably I had lost my parking space, which was in the shade in the afternoon, so having to park the car in another spot the car was like an oven by going home time. Last nights storm passed right over with heavy rain and thunder but some who came from Southend seem to have missed the worst of it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jock67B Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Evening/Morning all, Just got to bed having survived the day and regret I haven't had a chance to catch up so all the usual noises! I am completely drained emotionally and physically. I will attempt to explain why at some point tomorrow. All the hundreds of relay participants are still walking - all to keep people like me going, they will continue until mid-day tomorrow! I'll probably go back to applaud them to the finish tomorrow so may be late on parade. Kind regards, Jock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted July 5, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 5, 2015 Morning all. Bit of a thunder-boomer passed through some time after 1.30 but it's getting hot again regardless. Will have to go to bed fairly early today as I'll need to get up by about 2 am tomorrow. Have a good one! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightengine Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Good morning from sunny Teignmouth where wisps of sea fog can be seen snaking up like smoke off of the river. It looks like the town is on fire with smoke rising. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted July 5, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 5, 2015 Morning all A sticky night - and now we have thunder to sort it out, hopefully. Not much on the agenda if things get wet. F1 will be watched, although boring Silverstone - a flat airfield circuit in the middle of nowhere with appalling road links - never produces a good race. Hope your Sunday is peaceful. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted July 5, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 5, 2015 Morning all. Cooler this morning. Rather cloudy too. Someone was letting off lots of fireworks last night but they stopped well before midnight. We are off to Kent today. Aditi's brother is on holiday there. Aditi's uncle is also visiting from the US and will be there as will MiL and one of my nephews! We will only be daytrippers, the others will be there until Thursday.

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted July 5, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 5, 2015 Morning all from Estuary-Land. A lot cooler and fresher today and according to the forecast the thunder should stay to the east. Report back later after my exhibition duties. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Each of us find our own way, BoD, but I'm sure you will find retirement very fulfilling once you adapt to the loss of structure in the day. I found it strange, even felt a little lost after the initial euphoria wore off, but having got through those few months, I'd never go back to work and every day is filled doing something I want to do with little or no stress. Hopefully you will find a lifestyle that will suit you and won't look back. England beat Germany with a penalty! Wonders will never cease. If only the men could do it…. One for DD. Happy days….

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted July 5, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 5, 2015 Good morning all, I say good but it's very dull outside and I think some rain is imminent. That will probably put paid to the gardening so I may visit B & Q (although I hate the place). After that I suppose some F1 but I usually get bored with that. The imminent rain is now happening and The Boss wants tea so... try to have a good one, Bob. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium southern42 Posted July 5, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 5, 2015 Good morning from sunny red dragon land. West Shore yesterday - very breezy. Someone else is playing trains today. We're just watching! Have a good day, all. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
