Another week done. Upped the ruck this morning to 10km.

@crossingthethreshold Hahaha. I like that!

But that’s how things are. Our families, and IRL friends are all users.
Yup. I haven't felt the need to resign up for FB but, living abroad, joining Instagram makes sense.

The support cars would have had to break the speed limit so they had to change the route.

I think it’s just a coincidence that I’m listening to The Wasp Factory but I feel it can’t be. I did read it once, a long time ago, but am enjoying taking the time to go over it again.

@toddgrotenhuis I get why they don’t have them but I’d like one. As well, it would make giving my daughter something to play music - and just play music - much easier.

@toddgrotenhuis Those look cool! Does make me wish iPods were still a thing though.

Would love to go with a friend to this drum and bass night in Bristol. One of the things I miss about not living in the UK.

Bought in the UK last summer and finally getting around to reading it.
Currently reading: Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin 📚

Love, love, loving the Murderbot series. Excited and nervous about the Apple TV+ adaptation.
See also, if the Rivers of London series, which I also love, never makes it to tv I don’t honestly think I’ll mind!
Finished reading: Network Effect by Martha Wells 📚

Didn’t count. Just glad to be moving. Today, I did it inside as it’s 36c outside. Also, meant I could watch Spectre.

@Munish between 15 and 20kg. Which I learned after I started is the upper end of weights recommended.

Been back in China almost a week now and finally got around to my second lot of exercise. I am just struggling to get started. It’s easier when I’m working as I normally use the gym there. Already feeling mentally better, which is good. Maybe tomorrow i’ll get back around to doing some rucking.

Loving to see her push outside of her comfort zone and to believe what she can do.

@sexyhermit Would you recommend the Dune books? I've read the first one a few times but never ventured further...

Some songs, when you hear the cover/remix first and it’s that version that sticks. This is one of those.
If you do like it, this live version makes me wish I still went clubbing.

My big Apple takeaway is that we should be soon getting season 2 of Severance!
Also more Silo (though I’m finally reading the books), Shrinking and Slow Horses (the books are better!).

@hall I'm from Gloucester originally. We went one year... That hill is STEEP! It's interesting that you can easily see the spot they do it when driving around the area.

@maique @skoobz I subscribe to his emails using Kill The Newsletter and searched Craig Mod shoes and found this in one from November 2023
I was trying out new shoes (New Balance “Fresh Foam X More Trail v3 CK3”) and the toe box was huge and the cushioning borderline ridiculous but … damn, they were comfy. And the Vibram lugs worked great in the mountains on the rocks and leaves. They felt solid the whole way through.
