How is your trip to Israel going Bleep?

155.6lbs this week. Had to take a break from the running efforts as I mucked myself up swapping winter tires off the van, but figuring out ways to get this stuff done within my limitations has its fun. . Coincidentally, the family were as supportive as usual when they noticed the goose egg on the side of my head where I smashed it on the corner of the jack. Wellied myself in the head on something two inches off the ground. Talent that is. Glad to keep up my Dad's family traditions.

I know my teams station..... I'll take any accolade, no matter how small!!

We had a pair of Linnets in the garden about 2 weeks back , the first time I've seen them in the garden in years, the female came back yesterday .

I've got a lotus grill, it's pretty handy. Once i get back to the UK and sort myself a garden, i want a Komado Joe. The thought of a simple grilled mackerel, a salad and a late summer evening is very appealing.

Funny you should say that, we did see a tree sparrow just as we were parking up in Flamborough. Forgot to add the little feller off the list. Was a glorious morning along the Holderness coast today. There were a lot of meadow pipits out enjoying the sunshine (and plenty of annoying St. Mark's flies).

Gyms are shut here and my stuff is being shipped to the UK on the 25th. Therefore, i'm attempting to do 10,000 swings with the 24kg kettlebell before then, starting yesterday with 750.

It’s ridiculous . As usual they react to one thing by completely overreacting . I was watching the Sea Eagles game and the bunker was in the refs ear so much getting guys put on report even the commentators didn’t know what he was seeing . We were going back ages at times . Jason Saab got put on report for a crusher which the bunker ‘ found ‘ after a player stayed down , and it was like ‘ ok I will find something for you ‘ but it was nothing .And the touchie was a metre away . I understand player welfare but it’s rugby league - fast furious high speed collision sport , dissecting it to the nth degree in extreme slow mo frame by frame has always seemed totally wrong and counter intuitive to me . You can find anything anywhere if you look for it . We encourage guys to stay down now .The judiciary will be going 24/7 at this rate and the number of HIA’s will mean the full squad should be on the bench

I’ve just seen a snatch of The Railway Children on Look North which reminded me of Bernard Cribbins, looked him up on Wiki and he’s still breathing, 92 years young.
