Dreams unfulfilled?

I wish I'd tried harder to be decent at basketball or as a goal keeper. I also wish I had stuck with the piano and/or took up another instrument like guitar or drums. Essentially to be better at anything more than a remote control.

Giving up being an archaeologist when I did as the money was shit. Now I'm retired I've got back into it, even helping out on Time Team in the summer, and realised that it's something that I really love doing. Have now started volunteering at my local Roman site and have started to do more on local digs.

Have a go on here, there are quite a few archeological relics buried in the archives.....

I originally lived in Rhodesia. We moved over here when Mugabe came to power. I always intended to eventually go back to live. Don't think that will ever happen now.

Go to America, hire a scooby doo wagon and drive across the USA and stay in motels along the way. I still have dreams about going to New York but the older I get the more far away it gets.

I came out of the RAF voluntarily in 2005 after 22 years… Although I had a good second career in civvy street until retiring at the start of lockdown I wish I’d stayed in the mob

Went to a trade reunion for the first time last weekend and hearing about the people who made it to WO (The highest non-commissioned rank we could get to) I know I’d have made it

It’s gone but I do regret the decision to leave massively at times

Never to far away bud as longer as you're healthy enough its in reach

I wish I had gone to a different school, instead of the lunatic asylum I attended and that I'd been a wee bit more mature. I should have gone to university at age 18 and then into academia, which would have suited me to a tee. (I went to uni as a mature student, when it was too late to change direction.)

Alternatively, at age 19 or 20 I wish I'd had the wit to walk into Hunt's Bank and ask for a job on the railways. They were always short of staff back then and I'd have been happier working on or around trains than in a fucking office. But I was too conservative and risk-averse.

But, generally speaking, I don't regret my choices because if things had been different I might never have had my greyhounds or my missus. Another pattern of life and lots of things I do have might have been lost.
