haha, a couple of days ago while rooting at the back of a 'junk' cupboard I found half a dozen C90 cassette tapes I'd used for recording Tommy Vance (Friday Rock Show) many years ago. There should be great memories on them.

All I need now is a tape deck :doh: 'sigh'

Spent £600 on a man with a bloody big van disposing of 30 years of accumulated garbage including an 8 foot by 6 foot shed and a 2 metre by 3 metre deck. I know mixed measurements but they were the sizes as sold haha . Proper spring clear out easily over 3 skips full and no fly tippers to worry about

My aunt called me for a BBQ on Brighton beach pretty much outside her front door close to where the burnt down pier is. The train to Brighton was pleasant surprisingly not busy but the return journey was but luckily I walked to the front of the train whereas everybody else was settling at the back, less walking lazy buggers :LOL:

The beach was busy as expected but nobody cared. I've been in some uncomfortable places and this was not one :D

It remained hot into sunset and beyond. Lovely day. Loads of other people setting up BBQs too.

My Happy thought is it's Friday, it's lovely weather and it's car collecting day! It's a shame I then have to go to work from 2pm-10pm though!

My happy thought today is reading that and thinking "I'm retired, no more stupid shiftwork screwing my life up" . . . and no more sudden 12 hour shifts covering sickness, that always seemed to clash with family plans :rolleyes:

I've got atleast another 5 years of work left depending how the pension performs, if it goes pear shaped then it'll be 9 years.

I stayed on for about a year after my retirement age, admittedly around 6 months of that was only 2 days a week . . the knackered left knee and back pains eventually got the better of me.

No idea how the Gov. will expect people in 'manual' jobs to carry on working until age 70 in the future :shrug:
