  • Yay! Brother's back in the UK from Yellowstone. 1200 photos for me to not see (still not seen his photos from our Iceland trip last year)
    • Thanks

    I always judge the quality of a holiday on the number of photos. If he's done the same he must have had a good holiday!

    i hate looking at my own holiday fotos, never mind other peoples... dreadful bore..
    Taking fotos spoils the moment for me, i prefer to live the moment and remember it, rather than take fotos to try and prove i had a moment, whilst missing it in reality

    Can see the merit in that but I've just been looking at one of my albums on ***Links to other Social Media platforms are not permitted***-. I've had zero notifications regarding it but it's been shared 19 times including by Scarborough Castle and with 180 likes.; one of the photos I tweeted and a holiday company used it to promote their holiday cottages. Part of what I do is to just get out the message that you don't need to be in London to see the sights in the UK
    Today's rain around Windermere has made up for the last 4 days! Saturated. End of today it will be 47 miles walked in 5 days

    The scenery at the Lakes is often at it's best when it's raining. A hot bath or shower followed by an alcoholic drink usually puts the world to right at the end of the day.

    I wish it was straight forward as indicated in my statuses! I did Coniston then Caerphilly then Windermere. Been getting up at 4.30am and getting back to my flat after midnight!

    Great walking country but not if it means getting up at half past four in the morning.:)
    Happy travels to my brother. Off on Delta's LHR- Salt Lake City service for a 2 week trip in and around Yellowstone National Park
    Last time I see my brother for a month.. he's off on a nice walking tour of Yellowstone. Hopefully there'll be no eruption when he's there!

    Just imagined hearing your comment in the style of Private Fraser from Dad's Army!
    So my back pain could have been dislocated hip. Heard hip click in place and pain reduced a lot. I'd make a world class doctor!
    In excruciating back pain. Just applied deep heat and now feel like calling the fire brigade as my back's burning up.

    Very sorry to hear that. My wife has suffered from osteoporosis for several years. One of the bones in her spine is crushed and at times the pain is severe - at best it's always there nagging away. She still manages to be active though and has a big garden that she tends, and manages some longish walks. It's something that affects women more than men but men can suffer from osteoporosis.

    Nothing as serious as that. Tweaked it getting out of bed and then twice when the bus I was on decided to go a couple of jolts - once as I was getting up off my seat and the next when I was in midstep down the stairs. It's standing still for a couple of hours that nearly always generates pain.
    "Crystal Palace defender Damien Delaney has said new signing Christian Benteke 'is not Lionel Messi'" Really? Does Palace know that?
    Saddened to read the passing away of Dalian Atkinson in a taser incident. Decent footballer.
    Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold! Golden 90 minutes for Team GB. One more in the cycling to follow and possibly Andy Murray as well
    almost forgot today is International Lefthanders Day.

    I wonder how many left-handers we have on F4A. I'm right-handed in most things, although I do have some ambidexterity, but am one of those right-handed people who bats left-handed at cricket. Or did when I played.Holding a bat with a right-handed stance is unnatural to me.

    Would be fun thing to find out. Parents were right handed - my dad was like you being left handed for cricket and hockey. Me and my brother were the opposite being lefties that are right handed for cricket. Work with a lot of lefties compared to the national average.
    Wish I was free to see Pele - he's put on FB "See you next month in Bolton on Sept 17 (Whites Hotel) and Leeds on Sept 18 (Elland Road).
    Blustery at Blackpool! 25 mph winds into face, gusting 30mph. Chipmunk & Memorial Flight didn't display but astonished the wingwalkers did!
    Eventful evening yesterday. Left work 6pm. Arrived home after midnight by way of walk-in centre and A & E due to getting a bite on the ankle

    What bit you?

    I wish I knew! A few people at work have complained about being bitten but then I go out and about so may have been done on Saturday when I was near Chesterfield (Hardwick Hall to be precise) and it took a couple of days for it to manifest itself. Swelling and heat gone. No longer bright red skin but more a purplish one.
