Cold water swimming

Jumping in to ice cold water for health

Edited to say that if not following cold water trend limits my longevity that’s fine by me.

Selfies- hate them. Stupid, pouting, posing, pointless , showing -off. Have never 'liked' one ever.

The cult of celebrity- they are almost all thick and talentless- I can not understand anyone with half a brain worshipping, following, copying, trying to look like pretending to chat to celebrities (by commenting on their posts).

The cinema. I've given up now. People treat it as an extension of their living room. Chatting, checking their phones, eating noisily, no manners or self awareness.

Our local cinema is nothing like that. It is a small independent cinema, and every time I go it tends to be full of older people who are respectful towards each other. Maybe the big multiple screen cinema complexes attract the more selfish cinema goers.

Holidaying in Cornwall. Well, not shite as such, but crowded, congested and overpriced, especially in the school holidays. Pembrokeshire is as lovely with none of those downsides.
