Many people have a bucket list of things to do before they die. Here's mine, though I don't really expect to do any of them.
1. Cycle to Salisbury and back. 4-5 hours?
2. Cycle to Madeleine's - 6 hours?
3. Cycle to Manchester - stopping overnight at Marlborough, and probably Warwick
4. Cycle via Poole-Cherbourg down to Bordeaux - 5 days.
5. Cycle across Canada - 2 Months?
There we go. I have finally written them down.

Who's Depressed?
This is something that I have been thinking about for awhile.
I heard yesterday a study that said that many pensioners are depressed.
My sister has been claiming depression for years, and even posted on Facebook about it, which is a bit funny in itself.
I have been in a state of mind for these last few months where I cannot get stuck into anything. I keep thinking of projects that I could do, but I can't get up the enthusiasm to start them. I have umpteen things on my desk in progress, but I can't be bothered to pick them up. I haven't done anything on Family History for quite some time now, just occasionally poking in and looking at somebody.
Yet my wife tells me that she thinks that I never suffer from depression, I am always cool and upbeat. And my brothers are the same. I know that V does sometimes get a bit down about things.
I know that the best cure for depression for me a is a good cycle ride - The bike is ready, but it is cold outside, and with being told not to go too far, and be back in half-an-hour, it hardly seems worth the bother.
I have even considered that if I was not here, the government and all my pension providers could save some money- quite a bit. And what difference would it make to the world? No one would miss my contributions as they are.
That's enough.
