@hazardwarning Also want to see Cadbury Castle, Avebury and Silbury Hill.

@kyle Sometimes I think I should just strap on a Go-Pro and give up ‘photography’.
@kyle What’s been good in my life is nothing….because I put everything on hold. Even when the authorities opened the prison doors a bit I didn’t go out much because everything looked like a dystopia: people wearing masks (even just walking down the street), perspex social dividers, big brother signage, app registration rules for pubs. Even the thought of going away for a weekend and booking into a hotel was off-putting. Even going into town was annoying because it meant entering Covidland. I pine for the old normal life. So I’ve been avoidant.
Anyway, winter is basically over and the regime’s rules have mostly been removed so I’m running out of excuses. I have a list of places to visit (and things to do) that I was gearing up for before 2020 transpired. Places like Maiden Castle (iron age hill fort), Scilly (offshore islands), some nice hotels seen in travelogues. I just have to expunge this inertia/lack of momentum that’s wormed its way into me. Having said all that, doing some proper socialising again at Christmas was so enjoyable.
@hazardwarning I didn't realise Kindle screens were that bad. Books where you can't read the title? Ridiculous.
@kyle Yeah, I often switch off and distract myself. I'd go mad otherwise. Just can't do it completely. Still taking pics with the Fuji? X-Pro2 wasn't it?
@matigo That's nifty. What does it say, 'do as your father tells you, you naughty little boy!'?
[EDIT: I don't know if the above is grammatically correct. It looks weird.]
@kyle Every time life starts looking promising and I get excited about the future something crap happens, like global disease mania, economic tremors or nuclear powers rattling sabres at one another. Slightly annoying.
