Very cold tonight and supposedly going to get colder. My right arm ached throughout this tonight, getting steadily worse up to around 65 kilos and then surprisingly getting better. Very strange.

Guess four could have worked but happily left only one option. Not the easiest of days but panic free.

A satisfactory and probably fortunate four.
After the second, I had narrowed it down to two possible options. Or rather, I thought that I had but I hadn’t factored the actual solution into the equation. The third worked out perfectly, otherwise it would have been a five.

I have recently come into possession of a hoodie. I never had one before, it's a fine garment and warm so I wore it to squat it.

Problem the first - if you squat with the hood down and the bar on top of the hood it alters the bar position and it feels weird.

Problem the second - if you squat with the hood down and the bar underneath the hood, and you are old, fat and have limited shoulder flexibility, it is quite a horrible position to get yourself into.

Problem the third - if you squat with the hood up, it severely limits the vision, indeed tonight I could see no farther than about six inches past the front of the racks. This is a bit rum.

By the time I got to ninety kilos I was struggling and not having fun so I removed the hoodie and squatted in a t shirt. The improvement was immediate. I did four more sets, one at a hundred and three at one ten and they improved with each one.

I learned something tonight.

Tried a shot after the first guess and missed. Used the third factfinder next and didn't find much. Took a lot more time over the next and got lucky

Went for it after the first guess on a whim and gained only what the last letter was. The usual third factfinder was exceedingly helpful providing the missing two letters. It was all over bar the shouting from there.

Very cold again but things should improve over the weekend. Not many down tonight, just four of us, average age 59, so quite a bit of creaking and groaning
