Clothing is the main issue. I buy stuff that lasts so it tends to be stuff around £40-50 (USD$60-65). I’ve Merrill trail shoes that are still in perfect condition that are 17 years old, a 5.11 shorts that are five years old, etc...

I’m sorted for rainy days, etc...

Just found the Bean Bags on Amazon and Rombouts, ordered one pack of each.

Yep, up in the far north of England, if you get to the Scottish (and English) border, just come back on yourself about four miles and that’s me.

Payday yesterday, which is also my only weekend off every four weeks.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

I’m not a fan of instant and prefer a good coffee.
