Daydream Plodder

or not as the case may be.

not ploded yet, but might later depending on aches from weekend leg abuse.

Roabert Rankin? Hmm, read some of his and I think after the first couple you know most of his plots. darker and not as good as Pratchett in my view.

    lo Staggers

    Haven't plodded since Thursday, haven't had a break that long for a while. Leg not sore today for first time, so hope to have another couple of days rest for safety and caution and hope to plod again about Wednesday.

    And its a badly timed "rest" because it was my birthday on Saturday and Mr LJ's birthday on Sunday so its been a big weekend of food excess and I could have done with plodding it off...

    see if anyone can beat this....

    Friday - pasta with mascapone sauce and gooey tart for lunch, pasta and huge chunk of cheesecake for dinner (shared cheesecake with friend though!)

    Saturday - porridge for breakfast, hot chocolate and chocolate muffin with best friend for morning tea, 2 jam donuts for lunch (!!!), Mum's chocolate mud cake for afternoon tea with strawberries, Mum's lamb roast with roast veggies for dinner, followed by strawberry ice cream cake and glass of Baileys

    Sunday - oats for breakfast, fish and chips, and profiterole for lunch with Mr LJ's family, then chocolate milkshake and chocolate slice for afternoon tea. Most healthy thing I had all weekend was home made veggie soup for dinner, but followed that with white chocolate mud cake for dessert (Mr LJ's birthday cake).

    can anyone beat that?

    also can anyone expalin that, despite no exercise since last Thursday, my clothes feel LOOSE this morning????

    Off to the gym in a little while in an effort to convince myself that I can get round tomorrow evening's 5K.

    Morning,

    Belated happy birthday LJ - sounds like you had a good one. Maybe you did that thing whereby if you consume huge quantities of calories you massively speed up your metabolism so you end up burniung them all off?

    In an ideal world...

    anyway, had a hot and busy weekend
    Friday - swim. impressed myself by not doing too badly with the front crawl (i didn't drown and nearly swam a complete length). Gave up after 40 mins when my back was too achy to carry on

    Saturday - lots of walking, working and a plod at 7:30pm when the temperature had cooled down a little. Felt brilliant, I had a nice pace, I was very much in tune with myself, everything going fine.

    Sunday - hoped tot ake th4e boat out but the lake was closed becasue they felt it was unsafe (gusting 5-6 and it was "like the sea" out there). considering the fact that i don't get out of bed for a sail in less that a 5, i realised this was probably going to be the shortest membership of my life. canned the sailing, went for another plod as per the schedule. Keeled over at 3 miles in absolute agony and had to limp home. Back and calves were on fire.

    Boo hiss!

    Rest day today

    Yo plodpals.

    happy birthday for LJ and Mr LJ.

    A plodless weekend for me. Spent Saturday writing an article about Caspian Gulls. Which, for the uninitiated, are very like the more familiar Herring Gulls, only duller.

    Hot and sticky in London. Again.

    morning all
    happy birthdays to all enjoying birthdays

    very tired today

    and very very warm outside

    will do intervals in gym I think.

    preferable with someone else doing the speedy part of the intervals.

    is that allowed?

    please let me sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!!

    aiki why is my budgie canary thing sitting with stuff in it's beak? is it trying to nest? does this mean it's a boy or a girl?

    very peculiar behaviour
  • Options
    Hi GL.

    It's a canary, and you could be doing it untold psychological harm by calling it a budgie, possibly to the point of making it think it needs to build a nest as a refuge from your hurtful remarks.

    Actually, maybe it has multiple personality disorder?

    Or maybe it just wants a hobby?

    Can't remember if it sings or not - if it does it's a bloke. I think both sexes take part in nest construction.

    Suggest you provide it with a nesting 'pan' (shallow cup-shaped thing for canaries to make nests in) and some nesting material and see what it does.

    LJ - that's a LOT of chocolate!

    Plodded with the club on Friday night and almost got lost. Had to be rescued by lovely Robin (that's a bloke not a bird), who also rescued me several times on the Sunday run.

    Did 2hr plod on Sunday - started at 7.30 and it was already baking hot. Reckon I did about 12 miles (as per schedule) but I was very hot and overheating massively, which wiped me out for the rest of the day. Just hope that the half on Sunday is not so warm.

    Feel OK today though, so will attempt to plod the 7 miles home tonight.

    Afternoon all. Back from gym - it's still very hot out there.

    GL - if you call your canary a budgie as an insult, real Parddu and his pals will be up there to sort you out. Being a budgie is an honourable occupation.

    Parddu - I'm sure a budgie would be just as hurt to be called a canary as a canary would to be called a budgie...
