With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

79.7, not bad considering I'm cooped up at home.

Tomorrow I will measure out the perimeter of my lawns and drive. I hope it's about 100m, which means I have a 50 lap parkrun.

One is on its way to us. We would let you come and use it, but it might be awkward in the circumstances.

No idea on the weight, I've put the scales away.

Did run 11.3k this morning whilst staying 2m away from everyone else at all times. The benefits of having some expansive paths along the seafront.

I took a guess on your behalf.

I’m confused, is that a picture of Shadow or gingerjon?

I'm quite grey these days and have a much shorter haircut. My guess is Gingerjon wants us to think it's his partner in a much younger scadinavia wife @Bob8style.

Has Bob8 mentioned his much younger scandinavian wife recently?

I fear we might be trapped in the flat with nothing to do if more restrictions come in. This would obviously be hell ?

118. Not too bad given that i broke my exercise every day in March recently. Too much chocolate around as well.

Kettlebell arrives later - first goal is 10,000 swings with the 24 in 4 weeks. Did this before and was injured half way.. will try again.

What gap are you leaving between each set Bob. 

Not to strict to be honest. Minute or so.
