One of my workmates is a habitual cruiser. She posts alot about them on FB, including the itineraries. It's appears to be everything I dislike or despise, all bundled up in a big white box.


Come on then TBM - tell us - what do you do for your jollies? - Well deserved and all that, but you get plenty of em.


I get about 13 weeks holiday a year. I'm currently paid 50% of what I was earning 21 years ago when I worked in publishing, but I'd rather have freedom than money. I earn enough to enjoy life, but would work less if I could afford to.

In my freetime (weekends, and holidays), having no kids means I can make decisions at the last minute, so all depends on my mood (and the weather) - often I jump on my bike or in my Mog and go and visit mates all round the UK for beers and a natter.

Sometimes I go to bike rallies where me and my bike mates sit in a field listening to good music, and again having beers and a natter and talk sh1t about bikes. I go away for short breaks/holidays with my Mrs where we travel the UK, often in search of British Neolithic/Bronze Age/Iron Age archaeology (we met as archaeology undergrads.) Try and have at least one camping holiday a year, and a trip to Cornwall to dick around in the surf.

Where possible I do my best to avoid towns/ crowds and groups of strangers. Occasionally hit the Theatre, but I'm very picky about what I'll sit through and I loathe light entertainment/musicals. Like seeing the odd band but again, not big concerts - prefer smaller more intimate venues. Usually old school rock.

Lockdown has been difficult, but this weekend went down the pub Friday with the Mrs, out for a ride with my bike mates and breakfast on Saturday morning and then went to Cambridge to see an old Uni mate in the afternoon/evening for beers and a meal. Life is starting to get back to normal smile smile smile
