You know what really makes me happy?

In France, last week all locked up, some local bistros doing take-outs - today = first day open for 6 months (albeit curfew at 2100 hrs instead of 1900 hrs), a different world.

Nice to see normality slowly returning.

What flavour?

Rum and raisin. Aircrew favourite.

Rum & raisin - for some strange reason, called “Malaga” in Europe.

I used to make ice cream with Anthony Minghella! We went to the same grammar skool. :wink:

I have tickets for an outdoor festival on the 26th of June. Here’s hoping we still open up fully on the 21st! :grimacing:

I’m meant to be at fest in Sept but still will be shielding :sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob:

I’ve got tickets for the Atari’s in October. Indoor so hopefully we’re ok for that

(one for the paddlers)

Running a short section of grade 3+/4- today (for the first time in a very long time) and staying upright / surviving :partying_face: :canoe:

(although I did then swim on the next grade 3 fall, which is meant to be a bit easier, by ending up in the massive hole inbetween the 2 lines which just swallowed my boat :sweat_smile: :see_no_evil:)

Seeing people using a map in a £65000 Audi A6. Because they don’t know how to use the sat nav, and asking you for directions.

Having a chat with the neighbouring squadron about running DofE expeds this year. Real concrete plans! Unbelievable!

Making me really really really really happy…

My local is now adults only and doesn’t permit kids in the premises so I could enjoy a pint in peace… When I can visit a pub that is
