Hi Matt , and Krimel,and probably more of the usual suspects.. ,in the run-up to my retirement and my daughter buying a house that i had to do up myself (3 yrs work), i halted my postings to the list.After some time it went silent.Probably i was peeled out of the onion. Since then, i never checked anymore, nor did i hear anything. So you are the first ,Matt. I still read many books.I fish extensively.Still riding my bicycle daily, do about 12000 miles a year.I have the bulk of time now. But its difficult to ride my normal tracks under lockdown and with the Dutch borders closed up-normally i always ride in the Netherlands, but have to stay in Belgium nowadays. We cannot fish in the canal under the lockdown,and they are patrolling the little forest we have there , so the only thing we can do for now is cleaning , pruning the trees and just sit over there , on some distance from each other. Its our personal tranquility base , so we have to guard it.
I do not know where you live Matt, and Krimel,i hope its a location that allows you to weather this viral storms ... Missed you all, Krimel included.
