DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND DO IT OFTEN

Hello Hello Silver Bloggers and everyone else hello!

It's been a minute as they in some parts of the world. I have been reading and curating some wonderful posts recently on what people will be doing in the coming decade.

So with suitable FOMO I jumped on the bandwagon and pitched some ideas of my own together based loosely around my life's motto.

All will be revealed in due course, he says with a mad laughter!

Today is NOT A Monday but I thought it was about time that I joined in again for the Memoir Monday initiative that was created by @ericvancewalton
You can catch his original post here or the prompt for this Memoir Monday #30 (9/30-10/6) -

How do you plan to spend the next decade of your life??

First things first ...

I am a firm believer of living in the Now

... but of course we still have to do some forward planning.

I can answer the question almost with a more of the same answer.

Some of you might know my wee signature motto at the end of all my posts.

To put in text form....

DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND DO IT OFTEN

Well like so many things in life I was not the first to say it and in fact I borrowed it from a coffee house in town.

The whole quote does in fact read ....

THIS IS YOUR LIFE DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND DO IT OFTEN

It belongs to the wonderful Bob and Berts which is a small chain originating from Northern Ireland I believe.

Which brings us nicely to the Big Fish in Belfast

I grew up in Belfast and only left her when aged 5 due to The Troubles.

My mother forbid me to go University there so it was only after she passed did I go back to my childhood home. We do listen to our mothers I think..

Travel

I have been fortunate to have lived in 69 countries and I would love to retrace my steps and go visit some of them with Mrs T.

For work I spent many thousands of hours in planes and helicopters, and now I cannot stand them, I can't stand airports and the hassle that goes with it all now!

Our last flight was last year on a trip back to Orkney,a group of beautiful islands off the North coast of Scotland.

So yes apart from going to the States I don't see my flying much more, there are other modes of transport after all!

I love history and archaeology and we are lucky living in Britain as we have so much of it on our doorstep. Although Mrs T has been here since 1997 we kept wandering off abroad so there are so many places here which we are yet to explore together.

What a view that is! It's even higher up than my drone can go!

So yes plenty of travel and being a tourist in Scotland and the rest of the UK

Apparently wee Ted informed me that he has had enough of planes and justs wants transport closer to the ground ...

So yes we love travelling by train and of course boat too!

Money and Side hustles!

I get bored easily and love to keep doing new things. Often they are for money or in the last few years crypto.

That will not stop, in fact it will probably become even more of my time in the latter part of the decade to come.

After all I need something that brings in money that keeps indulging me in my love for good food!

Photography

I love being outdoors and I love feeding the wildlife and of course asking them to be models for me.

Which reminds me I have not written about the adventures of Eddie Wildlife recently...

Really where does the time fly to?

So I shall leave with a picture of the most gorgeous wee cygnets that I captured in Orkney last year.

Yes my only problem is that there is so much of what I do that I love!

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the new week ahead!
