Yeah, it was a great time. Watched a few last night. One of the happiest times for me - just hanging around with mates, care free and obsessed with music and skateboarding.

The connection with the soundtrack is so strong as well given the amount of times you used to watch them. This Spotify playlist of classic skate videos has a few gems.

One hour left in work and off for 3 days, sun is shining I’ll be home alone for few hours 
and there’s two 660ml estrella galicia in the fridge.

I’ve just had our local shitty timber BMX park be reimagined as this wonderful thing.
I’ve only had one afternoon down there with my son since it’s opened, but need to find some me time to commit to getting the old sea legs working again.
Any TP sk8 Dads in London E7 give me a shout.
@shake A little bit more refined that the gravel we grew up skating eh? You need to come up sometime soon.

That looks great. Yeah would be up for that. Ive only been frequenting SE skate parks so far. I spend a lot of time getting speed up, psyching myself up for something adventurous then bailing at the last minute. Went to Folkestone Gardens last weekend which is good.

My local with a garden has finally re-opened. Friday evening cold pint after work = return of my “flow”!
Banishing the languishing! There is a future.

So, quite literally, “down to the sea and back”
Nice.

Jealous. Can’t tell you how much I would love to be near the sea.
Just getting outdoors in some form is really worth doing.
We went for a walk yesterday, after work/school to a spot where we can feed chickadees (they’ll literally fly down on to your hand and eat from it). Wasn’t really in the mood, but my daughter really wanted to, and I’m glad we did.
Some woodpeckers got in on the action as well 
and we also saw loads of cardinals (something that still makes me beam with pleasure, as we don’t get them in the UK and the males are a vibrant red and there’s nothing like it) and a few blue jays (which we haven’t seen before, not been down there for a week or so).
Loads of squirrels, didn’t see any chipmunks this time but my daughter had those eating out of her hand, too, on previous visits (and a baby squirrel last time, which was beyond cute even compared to the other critters!)

This whole palaver has definitely made up my mind to move out the city, and in particular, to be near the sea again.

Being near the sea has been life changing since moving out of London. The chance every week to go and just stare into the big blue is very calming. I love watching the light play over the surface of the water and dream of what’s out there. This was Dorset in February this year

That’s stunning mate. A beautiful part of the country. There’s something special about the wide openness about being on the coast. Once my youngest goes to university next September, I’m definitely looking at my options.

Nice. You’re on the west coast of Ireland, right? Looks great.
