You know I spend practically every waking hour on the internet/at a computer, but provided I have enough books I can live miles from any computers in a tent for weeks

Sometimes you just have to unplug. I also enjoy going hiking with my dad in the countryside around here, and hopefully when I fix up my bike I can go back to cycling again too.

Great news about your buddy tho coius, I've had a few painful goodbyes over the years, they don't get any easier, if anything they are the opposite.
