What has everyone done but you haven’t?

Ive Just driven to the coop..... a 1.5 mile round trip.
I was quite ill yesterday and slept literally all day till 1900 with the result that I only slept 2 hours last night.
I normally put my rucksack on, enjoy the walk and carry my shopping home on my back. If its light rain I get togged up.
Today, in this heat I was worried in case I got half way and couldn't carry on, hence the car.

That's what cars are for. Our local Waitrose and coop are both 5 mins walk away, but have often used the car when getting a big shop.

I will say it: I've never sat on a beach or sunbathed for more than an hour! I don't know how people do it. I mean, I love the beach and the coast, but I hate plastering sun cream all over my hairy body, then sand sticks to it, then I just feel hot and bored. I like to walk around the rock pools etc and swim in the sea, but only for so long. If I could be in the shade doing some sort of volunteer work like fixing the fences, I'd prefer that

I burn very easily so it's not a thing I've ever done. Although I do have memories of bucket and spade holidays when I was little. I always look utterly miserable in old photos so I don't think I enjoyed it.

I've just picked my 14yo son up from the beach. He said "I hated every minute of it". So I asked why he went then? He said his mates begged him to go. So he's like his Dad, he found it hot, sandy and boring!

I don't think that's how it works. It might not upset one's stomach like a £2.99 bucket of scrumpy Jacks, but all alcohol causes dehydration, the affects of which is mostly what a hangover is

The first time I was over we had a really good session on the Krombacher on Friday night in the hotel, but when I got up on Saturday morning I was perfectly well, so well that we started again that afternoon when the football was on in the bar.
