This is reason enough to love you.

Being out of sorts is unpleasant enough, though. The fact that other people have it worse than we is not our fault.

That's very kind Dr R, I shall try to find you another reason

Considerably more chipper today, it seems to be going as quickly and as strangely as it came.

I have others, mate. I think you know that. Glad it's passed like a cloud, not a winter.

And like "that" it was gone, normal service has been resumed.

I am tempted to celebrate by buying the club a large bag of crisps

And that is that, Back is aching a bit from Monday's exertions but apart from that all is well. I may have to revise Friday's squats if resting doesn't help matters. No problem, I have a plan B in mind if I need it

Today I have tried to be a bit more active instead of just sitting and working all day, this is easy when actually at work but is not so easy when at home as everything is very close to hand. I have also tried something different by way of warm up.

Squat, boots on, sleeves on
60 x 5
60 x 5
70 x 5
80 x 5
90 x 5
belt on
100 x 5
110 x 5
120 x 5
130 x 5
140 x 5
150 x 4
All of these were a whole lot better than last time, it was suitably impressed by the 140 to press on to 150 (I had a word with Handsome Jeff first) and whilst it is true that the fourth was the best, there wasn't a fifth there. Not tonight.

Now a little tale, the relevence of which I am unsure about.

I squat facing east, thus my back is facing to the west, where the sun sets. There is a fire exit directly behind me and when the weather is fine we have it open. As the sun goes down there is a shadow in front of me, probably the top of the door frame, above the edge of this is dark and below sunlit. This means when I squat my shadow suddenly comes into view and then as I ascend it disappears again. This isn't a problem.

For the last set, the shadow became more of a penumbra, which means (I think) that the contrast between light and dark was not so stark. The shadow became lighter and the light part became darker, this meant I could see my shadow the whole of the time, but the darkness of the shadow was in a fluid state as I moved. I found this very distracting and impossible to ignore.

I am not saying that I could have managed a fifth had this not been the case, but I do wish I had s**t the door for that last set. Something to remember for next time.

So shadows aside this was a whole lot better than last time. Very happy

Slept like a top last night, and my legs ache splendidly.

Two pluses then :-)

Legs are aching thunderously today.

I have had a quiet day, I have read and watched an episode on "Lewis". A chat with one of the neighbours earlier, while I still can, then a chinese which was a joy.

Monday and Tuesday are holidays so sleep and general relaxation are on the cards

Monday, 21st September, start 1600

So, as I am on holiday today I had a good lie in and went to a local cafe for dinner, their special for today was coronation chicken. I had no idea what that is so I asked and the waitress struggled greatly to tell me, to save time I simply asked her if it had cheese in it, and as the answer we "no" I said that that would do and ordered one. It came in a wrap and whilst it did not contain cheese it was smeared in a mayonnaise based, snot coloured unction which was probably used to treat buboes back in the 17th century. It was not emetic but it tried and was pretty f**kin' awful. The chips were delicious though. Anywoo

Bench, very raw
20 x 15
20 x 15
20 x 15

97 x 3
90 x 3
90 x 3
90 x 3
90 x 3
90 x 3
The intention was to do three triples at 97.5 but even though I got Mack to pass it off to me there was no way I was going to do another set let alone another two sets. So I dropped it to 90 and did five triples, all un-racked by me and all with the last one paused. What a difference fifteen pounds makes eh ? I blame the chicken
