Hi everybody. I found my way to Sheffield Cable Ski and Water Park on Good Friday and in a very short space of time remembered just how great the place is.
I am not normally one for making New Year resolutions, but this year I have made 5! This time last year (April 2021) I finally retired, about 8 years late but as they say - 'Better late than never'. This gives me time to do what I want and not what I have to. My resolutions are:
1. Maintain my Tropical, Marine and Pond fish more carefully.
2. Cultivate my 130 square meters ( 4,200 sq feet) of weeds and rubbish.
3. Learn to play the guitar (Finger Style).
4. Try to find volunteers to expand my photography skills to include portraits (family and individuals)
5. Intentionally left blank as the gardening could well see me off.
Is it just me or is grappling with the seemingly constant changes to Facebook's interface more difficult than dealing with cancer?
Anyway, for any that may have read to this point, please don't 'like' this post. That way I can convince myself that everyone like it not just one or two :)
Finally I hope we all have a great season with no Covid or Blue Algae and the photos I took on Friday will be up before breakfast.
👍👍👍

Old Photo Guy at Rother Valley Cable Ski
I was well enough to try Knee Boarding yesterday for the first time. I had to come off after two tries though because I had too much clothing and those wet suit type boots - it was like swimming up hill. You can see just how much in one or two photos.
The effect of the clothing was that it took me too long to clear the track and I was holding other people back. I need to do some swimming as I haven't done any for 20 years and my muscles have forgotten.
Seeing the consultant next Tuesday and see what the are proposing for the lung cancer, so I may wait until after that before I try the swimming.
Anyway, what I really want to do is to thank Andy, Brendan and Brad who went out of their way to assist me - thank you very much. I was sort of 'touched' by their level of support - thank you all so much.
And finally, I took a few photos later on, mainly of Knee Boards I think, and because there are only a few, I shall post them out of order and last Fridays will be a bit later.
Thank you 🙂

Hi every one. The NHS has claimed 5 days of my life since Wednesday 21st so if you were at the Cable Water Ski that afternoon I am sorry to say that the photos I took will be a little late but I hope to have them all posted this week,
I know I have some of Phil and Daughter, Brandon and Mark, plus others.
Thank you.
