This makes me feel way too old.

Oh I remember. I borrowed my friends collection of hitchhiker's guide read by Douglas Adams and copied every one. Kept them all in a shoebox for years!
I would fall asleep listening to them, then the next night before bed spend ages rewinding and checking and rewinding to find the spot I last remembered listening to before falling asleep. To then fall asleep within 5 minutes and repeat the whole process again the following night.
Good times.

In the UK their population needs to be controlled otherwise they will be a pest.
If left unchecked they will devastate tree populations.
If I recall correctly there was an estate who didn't keep up with their deer culling and the army got called in with helicopters.

Absolutely, I'm constantly on the lookout for new music. While the music I listened to as a teen had definetly ingrained in me my tastes I have noticed there's a time and a place for most music.

This happened to me the first time I listened to BADBADNOTGOOD.
Got through most of an album and thought "whoah, I've been listening to jazz for ages".
Tried some other jazz and thought "Hmm, maybe not"

As this is my 4th week offshore out of 5 I have decided to stop going to the gym and read more. I'm watching La casa de papel, I know I'm late, no spoilers! And I'm eating whatever I feel like.
Only two more weeks to go before I can go home.
I'll leave this here as it sums up my mental state pretty well.

Back when I was young me and the missus spent months in a shitty van traveling around. Back then you could rock up outside the airport and find a van with the keys and paperwork and a note saying to take it as the previous owner had left.

I assume if you remember that you're old enough to go outside now unsupervised too.

Don't get me wrong, we have good days too but the weather can change in a heartbeat here. It's what catches most people out, especially on the mountain, too many people head out thinking it's a nice day then the weather changes, cold wet and zero visibility. Easy to get tired, lost and confused and needing to call mountain rescue only too find out they were only 10 minutes away from the car park.
I remember biking years ago in Wanaka and climbing at hang dog in golden bay on the south island. Beautiful place, can't wait to go back, take my kids. It's just so far away.

I don't know where you live but the Scottish Highlands can produce some seriously "fuck this" weather. When you're still hours away from home and the sleet and winds pick up, your soaked to the bone and hands too cold to pull the brakes, you look back on it with more fondness than you felt at the time.
