    I think there are a couple stuck in the Maldives. Not sure if they are home yet. It's been a while since I was there but I got bored after 10 nights - still wouldn't mind giving it another try.

      Just before lockdown I’ve moved into a decent airbnb in a nice area in Heartfordshire for 2k/ month. It was previouslt going for 6-7k.
      Had to choose between that and another one with it’s own tennis court.

      The struggle is only to be willing to get outside of your comfort zone and find some likely minded people to enjoy it with. Deals are still to be had although market has returned a bit to it’s previous prerogative.

      Also I wanted to show the middle finger to the landlords advertising their dumps in london without any discount.

      Asking the obvious question here... if you get two people from different leagues in the same house, alone, for a long period of time, do they get to “seal the deal”?
      It does seam to work for zoo animals...

        I am in two minds about going there. It seems if you're not into diving there's not much else to do all day.

          It's a great place to relax, read and swim but yep there is nothing else to do. If I was to do it again then 10 days max any less I'm not sure it's worth it for the travel hassle.

            I've really enjoyed lockdown so far. I can't get any kumquats for my Old-fashioneds but apart from that's it's been grand. Lovely to really enjoy the house and garden for a change.
            ...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

              They've probably gone native by now, living on coconuts and spear fishing stark bollock naked, having forgotten all about civilization!

                  gave me an excuse to go all over the place.
                  Have you ever dived on the Clyde?
                  …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                    Is that a euphemism?
