Day 2257

Day 2257;

I guess it's day numbered 2257 today as the last day that I numbered was 2256, unless you wanted to insist that "What Should I Do With My Life (2)" was numbered which could be technically correct. but it wasn't a numbered day.

Last Sunday I did a Sportive, which was a 100mile cycle around Cambridgeshire, you can see my Strava page below.

Nothing too spectacular it was just a little ride on the flats of Cambridgeshire, and I believe that Mich has finally got the idea behind going at speed, which I think went a bit like this; "Wow, we've done that 100miles an hour and 39 minutes quicker than our first, and I don't feel as tired after doing that 100miles" well what you could say to that is he's got fitter in the the between 5 years or so long, but he hasn't, he said that he enjoyed this ride so much as he didn't have to do anything other than steer, chat and apply the brakes occasionally; as it was on closed roads so less waiting for the traffic. The speed that we did it at was 18.4mph which was  2mph quicker than our first which was at 16.4mph, the main difference between the two rides in training have been as followed I have been training almost daily and Mich has been training occasionally on Sunday's and Wednesday's (whereas we got out almost daily before the first 100mi ride), we have got 2mph quicker, but it was on a lot flatter course so that probably means that we have got a lot slower if it was over the same course, which had 4,082ft of climbing in it whereas this one only had 1,319ft.

So I've had a little ParkRun on the first Saturday of this month, I had a 29:59 little jog. The run was a little 5k around a park, obviously, but I was doing it with my sister, Emu, and a friend of hers, I'm calling 10, who were the two people who actually did the London Marathon together the other year. I ran it quicker than both of them, but in fairness they have both become parents in the mean time, Emu is a mother and 10 is a father but not to the same children. I think that 10 may have ran it quicker in the past but Emu has never ran it quicker than I, then again Emu had only actually ran it before once, and on her first time of doing it she may have got it done quicker than the second attempt, which was expected as she hadn't ran in about 4 years; and it was before she'd had a child.

What Should I Do With My Life (2)

 Now I’ve decided that I needed to do myself a follow up to the first one as I didn’t actually answer the question, I just stated somethings, of which only the first thing that I stated was actually something I could do in the future, the second was my statement about something that I did last weekend and the third was also another thing that I could do but it was mixed with something that I am doing.


So then the first thing that I have stated I could do with my life was become a Paralympian, which I would like to become as I enjoy fitness and making myself more fit and strong, pity that I am so weak, it would be a good extension to what I do on a usual basis, to become a Paralympian. But then I am unsure about how I could actually make money in doing that as a job. As aren't the Paralympics only every 4 years, well it's them every 2 years but it goes from summer to winter alternately, and the sport that I am trying to get good at is for the winter Paralympics so then I'd only be making money every 4 years. Well there maybe world champs and stuff similar for the disabled as I have been to some of the similar type of things for disabled athletics much lower down on the tables of importance. 


Then the next thing that I stated I could do was father some children, but I’d have to find a way to become financially independent first so that I could afford to raise a family. As I can’t have the state raising my children, as who knows what they’ll teach them? Some of the affirmative action rubbish? Gender Identity and Biological Sex sometimes not matching up, trans issues? I'm sorry but NO, I'd be home schooling mine, if I had any, if that rubbish was what they are pushing down the children's throats at school. I'm worried for FJM as his mother/my sister is a progressive type of person. The friend that I was conversing with also said that jobs in the Digital Industry make a decent amount of money nowadays. wow the digital I would have liked to have got into that, but I failed and nowadays I'm more interested in the real world... “Change into digital champions to save the digital world… Digimon digital monsters…” now weren’t those the days.


Then there’s those three people that think I should be a Paralympic skier, I’m very flattered by your compliments, I would seriously adore to become one- it's just I ain’t good enough for that. I never have been I can remember going to the dry ski slope with Mich all those years ago must’ve been about 19/20 years ago when we both put on skis for the first time. I was terrible at first but through perseverance I got better and then after about one year since going skiing on a dry slope I went on my first proper ski trip and I went on 4 in total at first and then I carelessly got myself struck down by a car, which led to me being put on a lot of drugs, but I don’t think that was me as I only started to come around after the doctors started weening me off from the drugs. 

So my first memories from the time after the accident were from Jailey and my home I was in a Jail bed in both as I was attempting to get myself walking again first, when my legs were very weak as I was getting pushed around in a wheelchair which I was locked into, to stop me escaping. I eventually escaped from jail, when my time was up.  

Then I had been getting fit in the gym up by my old school I had been doing that for years and then one day Mich found out about a charity, DSUK- Disability Snow Sport UK,  and he asked me if I'd like to have another go at it, which I did so I went to see James Sterry and Peter Thorpe, for tutoring, to get me skiing again which was successful. But then later on I progressed to going on another actual ski trip, with DSUK, and this time it was with Mich in tow. We did three trips with DSUK; 2018, 2019 and finally 2020, before the pandemic got in the way.

After the Pandemic so earlier on this year we were supposed to go on two ski trips, one was with DSUK, which ws cancelled due to the kung-flu, and the other was with a woman who was loosely affiliated with DSUK, but the lose affiliation went as far was she's disabled and she from the UK who used to work with the charity but since France kicked out all tuition from non French sources DSUK has stopped going to France, as they like to get their instructors around the place but then on that trip it's just a group of friends that go to ski together (no tuition needed), and this time it was with us two tagging along, as Mich had found out about it from some DSUK source. Mich prefers to go with the actual charity running the trips, but then I had my two greatest days of skiing ever on the trip that we had earlier on this year, he prefers it to be ordered chaos, where as I prefer it to be chaotically ordered I'm guessing.


The first person to give me the compliment that I should be a Paralympic skier was my Doctor who is a cray Italian woman. Well I say crazy it my just e an act to get me to relax, but who knows? Anyway she is the one that pokes my eyelids with needles, and she had been watching some YouTube video of me skiing and from a video she believes that I should become a Paralympian. Now that was before the current time of reference now I am going back to the ski trip that I went on earlier on this year, not earlier on than that first compliment, now we are going onto the ski trip that I came back from in April. The second compliment that I had came from two of the men on the trip so It's the second and third which was much the same as the first compliment, the two were both of the misconception that I should become a Paralympian. 


How am I to become a Paralympic skier? Well I know the three things I need to become a Paralympian are; 

  1. Hold a British Passport
  2. Becoming international classified so that you can compete in WPAS (World Para Alpine Skiing) sanctioned events
  3. Qualify from the criteria set out in the qualification document produced by GBS (Great Britain Snowsports)

So what should I do with my life?

 If I was to say that I have no idea that would be partially a lie, as I have got an idea of what I could do if I'm talented enough at the thing that I have been suggested to do that is. Because I have been told that I'm a decent enough skier to become a Paralympic skier three times now, well by 3 different people but the second and third were sitting around after skiing talking about it and the first was a Doctor that had never actually seen me ski apart from on a phone's screen, I believe that it was a little YouTube video, but my beliefs are probably wrong, just as my beliefs of the route that I did for ParkRun Saturday were, I got myself lost on the route basically.


But the actual ParkRun hinge I managed to run it in 29:59, which was amazing for me, as it usually takes me between 35 minutes and 45 minutes to get a 5km course done on Zwift Run, but then I did my first 5km ParkRun, and it was ran in under 30 minutes, and today we (Mich and I) have been down to the location of the course so that Mich can gather info on the course to give me a hand with my eyes in the spots that might be quite hazardous to have an effectively blind man charging around the course, for others and myself.


Now there’s a conversation that I’ve been having with an old friend of mine it’s about children and I know that she wants to have two children, but she doubts that she will ever get them, so I offered to help her out with getting them but she has declined something about her health.  So I have been researching into the creation of the artificial womb.

Day 2256

 Day 2256;


So I have got out of the salty air of the place that I was staying at over the past two nights, to where the air tastes nice. But I’ll give the salty air one thing, it has finally sorted my tooth out, which tooth am I typing about you may wonder, and I would probably have to state my tooth tooth that I had a wisdom tooth which was tunnelling into the back of the tooth, and then I had that wisdom tooth removed and I kept getting a slight irritation from when I was eating food that when I was eating my food with the tooth in question it’d slip down into the little crevice which is on the back of the tooth. Which is a little bit uncomfortable.


MNow what I did yesterday was I went for a swim to check out my new goggles, which was fun as I was doing my own thing in the pool which included some of my swimming on my back and some on my front whilst attempting anything that I could think of to propel myself forward. Then again I was also asked to chase F in the swimming pool but that’s it for my swimming adventures until I get my trunks back as they have been taken to wash by Emu just as I returned from swimming. Then I had to go home before they were finished being cleaned, so I think that Emu is going to return them to me in a week or two. So then when I have them returned to me I can go swimming as often as I would like, providing my trunks are in order .

Day 2255

 Day 2255;


Now it’s been the second day of the three days that I’ve been down here staying with Emu, C and F. Zip line time, which was fun Zipping along the wire, however long it takes you to get along a 725m cable, as it advertised that it’s traveling at 60mph. But I’m unsure about that as I know that I didn’t go as quick as my brother-in-law who went on it with me and he went super speedy, potentially as he weighs slightly more than me. But I had my GoPro on to boost my weight. And I still went slowly down the zip wire, I had goggles on as well for my specs protection. Then after we had finished C decided that he’d prefer it if he’d have put a pair of goggles on also as his eyes were giving him a bit of grief, they were getting a bit dry.


So that was what happened yesterday and then it was time for a delicious evening meal, which was cooked by C, it was a tai curry I think. Anyway it was something exotic and tasty.

Day 2254

 Day 2254;


So yesterday I was subbed out, by the term subbed out I mean moved from my current abode to a new place which is just for three days, or two nights.


Today  I believe that I am going on a zip wire and then tomorrow I will be trying out my new prescription swimming goggles, which I tried out for a few minutes earlier on yesterday  but that wasn’t in water. But I’m thinking that I actually stayed in the goggles too long as Mich stole my specs as he was dropping me off down here, but I managed to get them back before he left.


Amber Heard apparently dropped a Grumpy in Depp’s bed, which I think is appalling as I don’t think that my nephew has done that, at least not when I have been around him, and he’s slightly older than two years of age. Just so you know he’s a male little boy, and yes I used the correct gender for him, it’s insane that tons of those left’s have the moral authority to tell us what we are allowed to call young people these days.


If I want to call you a little troll then I will call you a little troll the only thing that you can do about it is by adjusting your actions to be more human and less like a troll. It’s the same as with he she it whatever I personally perceive when I see you is what I’ll call you, which funnily enough hasn’t ever been a they/them person, I have used they/them to characterise groups of people but just no individuals.

Day 2253

Day 2253;


The other day I went for a walk around the Zoo, what have I done since... other than my regular fitness stuff, which has changed, probably many times, since I last mentioned it on this here blog. So I probably should get back onto that topic. Another topic that I'm going to go into a bit of data on is going to be a bit on the Paralympics, more of me becoming a Paralympian, as I have had a couple of nice things said to me in that respect over the course of my last ski trip.

So my regular fitness regime has changed no longer am I doing what I last advertised on here, which was something that I have forgotten about, but I believe that it consisted of me doing 15 minutes of something...? which has changed as I no longer do 15 minutes of anything, as on the 22nd of April, I first did an hour on a Zwift Bike, then I did 20 minutes on both the Trampoline and the Stair-Stepper before taking a break which was time to get more fluid into the system and for me to get in a 20 minute Strength Jog on the treadmill.
But on another day of this week I missed out on the treadmill exercise, and on others I missed out other shenanigans.

Now I have got some interesting news about the Paralympics, which isn't really news, it's just something that two of the blokes told me on my last ski trip, which was that I should become a Paralympic skier. Of which I would like a lot to become a Paralympian, as I could prove myself to myself, and... but I'm unsure if I should mention her here, especially asI'm unsure of whether she actually likes me, in that way. But the goal to become a Paralympian was my goal and I typed that if I achieved it I would ask her out, but it was many years ago now I'm half expecting that she's forgotten, but I gave her my word and I want to keep my word, especially to her. Now that was a fun little tangent that I distracted myself with now let's get back on point. Well there was two blokes on the ski trip that told me I should be a Paralympic skier, of which I responded I would like to be but I'm just not good enough to be a professional skier of any category be it disabled or otherwise. If I was a disabled skier what would my classification be? LW9 as I have got full body dystonia? or LW5/7 as I wouldn't compete with ski poles? But my plan is to go to my local "dry" ski slope to hopefully improve myself at skiing, so I would stand a better chance of becoming a Paralympian.

Day 2252

Day 2252;

Now it's probably a later than Day 2252 but I have just decided to post some of Mikes's GoPro footage of last Friday, when we were skiing in France, La Plagne.

Well I was skiing, and filming, Mike wasn't doing the filming as he had hurt his ankle, I do believe, the day before so he has resigned himself to making these videos to see what he missed. But he did get out onto his ski's later on in the day.



Now this is some more of my skiing which was also filmed last Friday, the Friday that has been dubbed Black Friday.





It was a great way to finish off our week of skiing, well mine at least. I'm sure that Mike didn't hurt his leg/ankle on purpose so that Jim would have to take me away to do the Black run without him...

Day 2251

Day 2251:


It’s day 2251 of my documented life, and I should probably be on the Eurostar train about when I have set this post to go live, which will be a first. But now that’s not interesting. What is interesting is my reasoning behind me going on the train, to France, but then again it’s probably only for me that it’s interesting. As it’s interesting that we are going skiing down in the south of France if the trip goes ahead which the previous ski trips haven’t.


Bear in mind that there was supposed to be one ski trip last month, in Andorra, which never went ahead. So I will only be believing that it’s actually happening when it is actually happening be that sometime tomorrow morning, or today the 26th of March, by having a pair of skis on and actually skiing or not, but then if that happens I would probably be able to get back to fix this before it goes live.


TApparently it's mothers day in a couple of days also... As all the people were going around the room saying what they'd got for there mothers for the coming Sunday I just typed out well Mich and I won't be in the same country, so is that a good enough present? Or words to that effect, Tini laughed and she stated that'd do nicely so that's one gift sorted. So I'm hoping that the former mentioned trip goes ahead now otherwise Tini will get a rude awakening come Sunday morning.


Now I have actually managed to get on the train, and we have gone through the Channel Tunnel, so we’re at this moment travelling through the French countryside just a pity we can’t actually see the French countryside as it’s black outside of the window. Darn it is 23:11 local time as I’m typing this text, which I know should make it 22:11 back at home. But I survived the little trip down into the tunnel by eating and drinking. As for dinner I had a little EuroStar plate/bowl full of sausages and mash, which was followed by a second little food container of Macaroni Cheese, then I ate my dessert which was a pot of gateau and some anglies sauce, I do believe. 


Now the trick that I have to perfect in this trip is falling asleep in a couple of minutes, then waking up at half four, local time, tomorrow morning for breakfast before I go out and ski in France, La Plagne.

Thursday, 9 September 2021

Day 2250

Day 2250:


Today I have decided to start up again on this here blog, just as I have got the time to do so this morning, as I got up extra early.


Breakfast: Weetabix, fruit (I know it was banana, apple, orange but I cannot remember what else I'm thinking that I may have had a couple of strawberries thrown in also) and that was followed by a cup of fruit juice.

Lunch: Sandwich (salmon in brown bread), I had 2 cup cakes for desert and that was followed by a cup of fruit squash.

Dinner: Vegetarian spaghetti bolognese, parmesan, mozzarella, chocolate mousse and that was followed by a cup of fruit squash.

Snacks: Today I have had 3 cups of fruit squash, hot lemon squash and honey.


So today I have got up extra early due to Mich actually having to go into work this morning, so I got myself up early so that I could eat my breakfast all promptly. Then I could get on with my morning exercise routine, but it dragged on a bit today; into the afternoon today, which was all fine and dandy apart from my speed around the Champs-Élysées, which was a bit slow.


Thus far last week, well on Sunday, we (Mich and I) completed another 100mi cycle ride, but I was disappointed it was only 98mi. Then it was the day before, so Saturday, I discovered that I couldn't float which is a bit of a downer when it comes to swimming but then fortunately I can still swim, "front-stroke"/"breaststroke"/whatever you call it you know the type of swimming where you put your face down into the water and then you kick your legs and pull at the water with your arms I can still do but I just cannot breath while i do it so I attempted it in the shallows of the pool, which had me swimming about a third of the width of the pool before I needed to breath. Then I was trying swimming on my back whatever it's called "backstroke"/"squirrel-stroke"/whatever... which apart from the immediate sensation of sinking that I feel as soon as I get onto my back, works pretty well as I soon get my feet up to a decent enough cadence/speed. But then again the swimming was with Emu, C and their son, I think I can remember Emu saying something to the effect of C being embarrassed to be seen around my body after I got out of the pool by pushing down on the side of the pool with my hands to lift my body out of the water and onto the side; well I'm sure that my body isn't that bad. Or it could have been my offer to help him and his son get out of the pool after me, which their eighteen month old son accepted my hand and I pulled him out, but his C didn't.


Now going forward a bit to Monday I remember doing an hour long Zwift ride in the afternoon as Emu, C and son, were still around for the morning, I also got in a little bounce and some weight lifting. Tuesday I got a bit of Zwift riding, weight lifting, treadmill running/jogging, stair-stepping, bounce before finally getting in a bit on the tandem. Wednesday I did a bit of treadmill running, weight lifting, stair-stepper, bounce and it was another pub ride. That's what it was for this week until today which is Thursday so I have done a little bit of treadmill running/jogging, and then I have done another weight lifting, then it was another little step on the stair-stepper, before my bounce and another Zwift ride.

Why I Don't Support BLM, or any of the teams kneeling for them

I disagree with BLM as it is a terrorist organisation, as they use terror to get what they want, like George Floyd’s killer's conviction as some of the jurors have stated that they feared what would happen if they voted not to convict; which is, probably, why it was such a quick case.

There disregard for the rule of law, like with what they did with that statue in Bristol, Edward Colston, if they want it removed so badly they should have appealed to the correct authorities, not just tear it down and throw it in the river. Then all of the people that they have killed in the USA like the story, below, Secoriea Turner, an 8 year old girl, who was shot and killed by BLM quote from her mother "They say Black Lives Matter. You killed your own, you killed your own this time."
https://news.sky.com/story/secoriea-turner-eight-year-old-girl-among-several-children-shot-dead-over-independence-day-weekend-12022188
So what does BLM actually mean? “black” deaths matter when they help us push our agenda other than that we don’t care? But seriously if they were serious about black lives truly mattering wouldn't they be greater in favour of “black” children staying in schools and getting a higher level of education and they’d be more interested in the great achievements of their “back” forebears. and not getting involved with drugs, unlike the patron Saint of BLM, I’m typing about George Floyd here, or even the newer sacrifice to the cause, Winston Boogie Smith, who was an armed “black” man who was gunned down by the police.
https://nypost.com/2021/06/04/winston-boogie-smith-pulled-gun-on-cops-before-he-was-killed/
I don’t care what the pigment of your skin is, it could be blue for all I care. It should be the content of your character that counts not down to the colour of your skin, as was said by that great man on the 28th of August 1963 in his “I Have A Dream” speech, which sadly I wasn’t alive for.


Then why don’t I agree with the footballers taking the knee before they get to play, it’s as they don’t just have this to be their voice, they have got loads of opportunities for them to make their political position clear and it doesn’t have to be in the way of a game. As that is what the talking of the knee is, it’s a political statement in support of BLM, not blm (lowercase), it came about as George Floyd was killed by the knee of the police officer which is how it became a symbol of BLM the terrorist organisation. Besides George Floyd wasn’t a saint, he did some really messed up stuff in his life, by that I mean he pointed a gun to a pregnant woman’s pregnant belly, it may have been as he was high at the time. Is that your best excuse? Because if it is then you’ve got some problems, it’s not really an excuse. I know it may explain why he did it but it doesn’t excuse his actions.

Anyway aren’t they in contradiction with some of the first rules of owning your firearm? Always assume that a firearm is loaded and never point your firearm at anyone, even if it has no ammo in it’s barrel, as if you pull your gun on anyone that would invite anyone to pull one on you as they’re assuming yours is loaded so shoot you before you shoot anyone.

Day 2249

Day 2249;


Now for the past two days I have had a couple of disappointing days in terms of the activities that I have done today, as I haven’t actually done any; minus the walks.


Now today and yesterday were just basically write-offs but then tomorrow it is planned for to go back on the bike (tandem), and then Emu has actually read my message to her, the one about getting me swimming again and she thinks it's a good idea just a shame that she didn't read the message before she got into the car to come up to where I live else-wise... I don't know but I may be allowed to go off for a swim any time that I like, as long as the pool is open that is. Then again I may be allowed to get my gym membership renewed as with my membership I'd get "free" access to the pool so I could do my daily little warm up routine for the mornings then in the afternoon I could go off to the pool and proper gym for my afternoons exercise. I think that Steve Bate said that his days are spent doing similar, and he is a Paralympic gold medalist.


So I've got my CV done, now, I just need to post it off to the respective organisations for hiring me... that is the more challenging part of the whole ordeal.

Friday, 21 May 2021

Day 2248

Day 2248;


Now then today will be my first day of this year for me to actually post something on this blog.


Now this may have actually been because I have got a bit more lazy within my outlook of this problem that we call life. Or it may just be that I had forgotten about it? But I don’t really see that happening, I was having such a good time as of late so I have just decided to let you people in again, on it. Not that I actually know that anyone’s even reading the words that I print out to the screens.


Recently I have been thinking about getting myself in better shape, now my plan is for when I get up in the morning is to go downstairs for my breakfast obviously. Then assuming that I have accomplished that activity without any complications I next take a fifteen minute cycle on the Zwift bike, before I have a fifteen minute row on the rowing machine, which is before I have a fifteen minute jog/run on the treadmill, and I top it off with a fifteen minute bounce on the little trampoline.


Then I take a break and I have a drink (not a Kit Kat). Before I have my second little fifteen minute cycle on the Zwift bike, now this one is always slower than the first, I believe, but then when I did them today I was seriously impressing myself. As not only did I manage to get myself to an average speed of greater than 21mph for the first fifteen minutes, as I had done that once before, but I managed to get myself to an average speed of greater than the 21mph twice in one day. But it was, admittedly, only over fifteen minutes. Then after I had rode around Watopia I had myself a nice little bit of dumbbell lifting, it was nothing too strenuous (only half a pound, 1 pound, before finally 2 pound of weight). Then all that was left for me to do was a little bit of quick stepping in the FittCube, or just my final fifteen minutes of my workout; which takes about two hours of workout time total.


So now that is what I have done every morning, on weekdays (Monday to Friday). For a while now I can’t remember how long exactly as I have been doing the three exercises that aren’t weight lifting and don’t have anything to do with Zwift a bit haphazardly since I started off with the routine. But then there’s the weekends that I don’t have a routine of exercise for but I do generally have the little thing, I even believe that I may have done three fifteen minute workouts on the bike one of these past days. But I’m still attempting to be a Paralympian, I don’t quite know what sport or athletic pursuit, I’m best suited for though.

Day 2247

Day 2247:

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high? I cannot remember but I know that it has got something to do with bluebirds flying in the song I think over the white cliffs of Dover then again don’t quote me on that.

I wasn’t speaking about the unfair nature of life, I was typing about the generic blanket statement, which is objectively false. As no lives matter, objectively. Again you could say that everyone’s lives matter to someone else. But I think that it’s the individuals that matter not the colour of their skin. Wasn’t it Martin Luther King that said something about people being judged upon the content of their character not the colour of their skin. So doesn’t that kind of mean that ‘Black Lives Matter’ are going against him?

Why are they protesting about it now though and it wasn’t the protests that people are concerned about as long as it can be done at a spread out fashion, it’s the riots and looting which undoubtedly go along with it, petty criminals which take any opportunity which is given to them. Then again it’s times of the Chinese virus the virus which is racist (against blacks) so I’m not understanding why a lot of black folks are gathering in groups wouldn’t that be a recipe for the R rate to skyrocket and of the people that are infected with the virus a higher rate of death will be sure to follow.

If black lives really matter wouldn’t you be urging them to stay indoors at the current time?

Why are the Labour Parties most associated with the fat middle classes? As aren’t they supposed to be for the impoverished labourers workers of the nation, who through their toil their freedom (life of retirement) will be plentiful and great, if for no other reason than the workers Mrs has borne fruit and it’s there to look after the two of you in old age. I know that I am typing in olden days terms with the implication that the man has been the worker. I realise that that is no longer the case in practically all of the households in the land.

So that is my two pence on the situation that was happening when I started this blogpost.

Day 2246

Day 2246;

Enough about me and my BMI and about all that I have ate. I should probably start going on about Boris Johnson and his whopping 36.18 BMI which is only if the Sun (newspaper) is to be believed. As it said that his height was 5 foot 9 inches, which must be similar to my height, but then his weight is 17.5 stone, 17 and a half stone is 17 stone 7 pounds. Which is where we differ, just about, with mine being something that I cannot remember I think that it was something like 60kg today which in imperial is 9 stone 6.3 lbs. Then again I am hyperactive, at least I believe.

I’m driven to be performing at my maximum, I think that probably should be the correct terminology. As I’ve now got two reasons to perform, first is for the one I love then second it’s to become the “coolest” uncle. As Mich said that I’ll be a cool uncle for the little ankle biter, as he will have a treadmill, rowing machine, exercise bike, Fitt Cube, and some weights for him to play with whenever he comes round to here. But then again both of his parents want him to become a musician, I only want him to be fit and healthy which if his father is anything to go by good luck on getting that wish. I have never done anything to be cool, I may have actually done some things to be deliberately uncool in the past but then again nothing cool has seemed worth it if I like something then I like it nothing wrong with that and if I don’t then I don’t, simple. Coolness has never really happened to me.

So what is all this stuff about becoming the “coolest” uncle, well imagine your a child again and then think about how cool your uncle would be if he’d competed at an Olympics, and then maybe even won gold, well that is my goal. Not about becoming cool, that isn’t my goal, competing at an Olympic or Paralympic Games is my goal. Which may have similar outcomes, well competing at an Olympics may make me “cool” not that being cool will put me up there competing in the Olympics.

Well I had been out on the tandem for a nice ride, it was only a one hundred mile ride, around the flats of Essex, no worries about the little hill. It’s called North Hill, anyway it was 0.6km in length 40m in height (I think) and 6.5% average gradient. We had managed to set up a new record for us on it as 3:33 the better cyclists would probably be able to get it done in under a minute, but for us two on a tandem, it’s not that bad, especially seeing as when we had done it prior it took us 25 seconds more, I’m not sure if that was another one of our one hundred mile escapades ether, I don’t think so. So it was probably just a 50 mile little ride. Which wouldn’t have required almost as much stuff on the bike so that may have had a negative impact on our performance; which we managed to achieve something better how bizarre (I’m writing excuses for the poor performance that we didn’t have).

Then a day later I have been lazy with the conservatory out of bounds, until later on that day when I have given myself a short cycle around London on Zwift, it was short as in length of time it was only for thirty minutes. Then again I had managed to make myself go at some speed, as I had managed to get the Zwift bike ten miles in half an hour which gave me an average speed of twenty miles per hour. Which was a first time for that, and then what happened to me after that ride was something that I had first felt earlier on the day. It was as if my heart started beating loud enough for me to hear it but then it only started after I had completed my exercise. So I’m believing that it had something to do with adrenaline, but I will go into that a bit more.

So my experiences of suspected adrenaline first happened to me about in the couple of hours after lunch. It was as Mich had told me that there were some pots that I couldn’t lift, as I’d drop them, and they are too heavy for me; but not for him suspiciously enough. The pots were a bit awkward me to pick up. As I know as I tried to pick up the pots first/before he caught me up but then again by the time that he arrived he picked them up with a lot of bother. Then after we had returned to the back garden he first got me taking some more pots to another place in the garden using the trolley, before the last pot which he allowed me to carry, in my hands, over to him. So I first got myself ready to lift the pot, then I rocked the pot a bit to get my arm underneath it then I clamped my other arm around the other side of the pot, pot secured. Next thing to do was for me to transport the plant of which I did. After I had given the pot it was a few seconds before my heart started beating loudly l I told Mich and he told me that m6 body was working backwards. On the second occasion it was as I had already stated earlier, I was on the Zwift bike just going for a quick half hour blast around the flats of London, then again after I had finished my blast, my heart started beating more quickly, or as I am thinking the Adrenaline ran out after I stopped using it which caused me to notice the accelerated speed of my heart.

Day 2245

Day 2245;

Sunday:

So today my BMI was 19.49, I had walked 26,602 steps, which was 17.22km, and in the over 10 miles I had burned off 2111kcal.

Breakfast: weetabix (chocolate), banana, orange, apple, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
Lunch: prawn open sandwich, and something.
Dinner: toad in the hole (sausage in Yorkshire pudding), broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, peas, potatoes,viennetta and chocolate trifle.
Drinks: fruit juice, fruit squash, Lucozade sport (raspberry), and hot lemon squash.
Snacks: pan au chocolat, biscuits, and a chocolate bar.

Now today I have got up, I have had my breakfast and then I have headed out on our little tandem ride around about thirty miles, it just goes to show how weak I am, if you’re looking at our speed and time for the ride. As the average speed was Something slightly higher than fifteen mph and I had only managed to get to about thirty miles in longer than two hours. So that was a letdown, but then again Allergy was also telling me a bit about a boy that I knew from school; and he couldn’t remember me which was a bit of a relief.

Monday:

My BMI was 19.20, I had taken 24,960 steps, which was 16.16km, and I had burned 2066kcal off.

Breakfast: weetabix (chocolate), banana, orange, apple, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
Lunch: tinned spaghetti, bread (wholemeal), Batternburg and shortbread.
Dinner: sausages in gravy, peas, carrots, sweetcorn, green beans, potatoes and chocolate trifle.
Drinks: fruit juice, fruit squash and hot lemon.
Snacks: pan au chocolat,  and shortbread.

Now this day I have been getting upto my usual routine, which started off with a half hour row, before a ten minutes on the stepper. P.E. with Joe, then I had a little break for the pan au chocolat, before I got back on the treadmill for a slightly longer than thirty minute little run, which was supposed to be around a place on Zwift, but it never happened, so I just had myself another twelve laps on the treadmill. I had also been lifting some small weights, so that was my morning.

Then in the afternoon I have got out on the Zwift bike, but it wasn’t outside it was inside, in our makeshift gym. Then after that I think I ate my dinner and I watched a bit on the box, I don’t know what I watched but I am thinking that there was at some point in the time of me watching Pirot came on.

Tuesday:


I had a BMI of 19.56, steps were 20,667, which was 13.38km, and I had burned 1728kcal.

Breakfast: weetabix, banana, orange, apple, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
Lunch: poached egg on bread, spaghetti hoops, and something.
Dinner: sausage casserole, peas, carrots, green beans, sweetcorn, 
Drinks: fruit juice, fruit squash and hot lemon squash.
Snacks: pastry, biscuits, and chocolate bar.

In the morning I had managed to get 2896m on the rowing machine in quarter of an hour, before I stood up and I moved along to the Fitt Cubed, for some more stepping. When I had finished it was time for P.E. with Joe, so that took up the next half hour or so long. Then it was time for another little run, on the treadmill so I’d accomplished that activity and it was time for my pastry. 

When I had finished my pastry, I decided to go for a little lift of some of my weights. Then it was time for me to have a shower, as I stank, before I ate lunch. After lunch I did a little cycle on the Zwift bike, before I had another shower before I went out of the house for my one external exercise of the day, we went on a walk around the town. 

I did that before I ate dinner and then I had eaten dinner I stayed up for a bit just hanging around, not literally, before I went to bed.

21st
Tuesday morning I had the usual mug of fruit juice and I had a second third full mug of prune juice, of which I think that prunes taste suspiciously similar to raisins. What is this, some kind of conspiracy? Ha a conspiracy to grow some big raisins and call them prunes, I have no idea of the reason behind such an action but is there a group of people that are called prunes which are just like bigger people and they have stones in? Then later on Tuesday I had another cycle with Mich, or did he have a cycle with me? It was fun we managed to get an average speed of 17.3mph.

22nd
Wednesday morning i actually got some stuff done as I had myself a good morning’s little workout, but I didn’t get a go on the treadmill, as I had jammed the RunPod on to Allergy’s trainers, which was a helpful thing to do for no one. As it has to only just came off, with some technical skill from Mich.

23rd
Thursday morning I was waiting for Allergy to arrive so I set her up on a little jog, but by the time that she did arrive it was the time for our mid morning snack, and then after that we actually got to some of her running we only had something like thirteen minutes of it before we had to go and shower before lunch. Another little factor which impacted on her runs time was the thing that occasionally happens to the RunPod, it occasionally shuts itself down, when it does that you have to take the RunPod off of your shoe and then reset it (by taking the battery out for ten seconds, then reinserting it and voila).

24th
Friday was much like my usual  weekday routine, I got up, I went downstairs I had breakfast. Then next up I did some stuff on the fit cube before I had a row. Then it was time for P.E. with Joe before I had myself a tiny little jog on the treadmill. And then in the afternoon I had another tandem ride.

25th

It was a Saturday today, the first day of the weekend, which is one of my rest days. So I have had another lazy morning, with only lifting some weights as exercise. But then in the afternoon we have been out on the tandem. For today it was a slightly longer ride around the countryside, well not really the countryside more of along the roads. I think that we need an off-road tandem.

Ok well on current events I have been thinking what is the Main Stream Media going on about? Bashing Trump making out like he said something that he didn’t.

I don’t understand what everybody’s problems with Trump are. As he was saying that they are attempting a new therapy, one which uses light to clear out the infection from people’s lungs. But then in the middle he went off on a tangent, saying that he’d have thought that as detergent can kill the virus on your clothes it should be as simple as injected yourself with something similar to detergent to kill off the virus.

Which is similar to what I had already stated using chlorine anyway but because he’s the president of the US, and the Main Stream Media hate him, they all jump on the bandwagon saying that Donald Trump says that if you’re infected with the coronavirus then you should inject yourself with detergent. Which he never actually said.  More on the topic of orange man bad? I’m thinking.

Day 2243

Day 2243;

My BMI was 19.56, my steps were at 26,428, floors climbed were 14, I had even burned off 3,222kcal, and I have managed to get 322 intensity minutes done today.

Breakfast: weetabix (chocolate), banana, orange, apple, strawberries, and grapes.
Lunch: tinned spaghetti rings, bread,(wholemeal), and something.
Dinner: fish (salmon), broccoli, peas, carrots, potatoes and something.
Drinks: fruit juice, fruit squash, Lucozade sport (orange), and hot lemon squash.
Snacks: toasted scone, chocolate bar and biscuits.

So two days ago was a weekend day, which feels like just another day then again it wasn’t a regular old weekday it was as you probably knew a Saturday. What is special about this Saturday well I have no idea of what it could be like for you I’m under lockdown probably much similar to you. Then what is it that I did in the morning well I have started off with a little jog about on Zwift before I had Allergy to do P.E. with, which was a bit of treadmill jogging/running.

But then again that was last Saturday, and I had been training Allergy; to hopefully get her down a stone or a dress size and a half, as that is what she wants. Then today I have had her on the treadmill “running” around London on Zwift. Which she told me that she actually enjoyed, note to self: people enjoy seeing things as they’re working out. As I hadn’t taken that into consideration in my mind before, and it’s quite obvious in reality. That other people actually get along better with visual stimuli like me who can run run with or without the use of eyes, as practically anyone else can but then again I have actually had some practice in this field , or should I state track? As my running without my eyes has happened numerous on numerous occasions, like before the lockdown when I was competing in something I was doing the long jump and 100 meters. Long jump was entertaining enough as it was usually but 100m wasn’t ideal especially not as I kept coming out of my lane.

But then I have also attempted to get my own run on the treadmill in later on today, which went well, I think it did at least. But then again before all of the stuff that I have mentioned previously I have also been for a row and P.E, with Joe. So what I did in between my run and getting Allergy fit... well it was a little walk around the garden and the tandem ride that I had been on. Well I think that was it that I did, today. Apart from eat which I did at intervals between the activities.

Day 2242

Day 2242;

As a BMI today I got 19.85, I had taken 22,324 steps, 14.45km apparently, and I had burned 1827kcal.

Breakfast: weetabix, banana, orange, apple, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.
Lunch: spaghetti Bolognese.
Dinner: toad in the hole, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, peas, potatoes and lemon meringue pie.
Drinks: fruit juice, fruit squash 
Snacks: pastry, lemon cake, twirl bar, Tunocks wafer, and chocolate mini eggs.

Now today I have been doing the usual workout routine but not the exact routine an abridged version, as I have had Allergy to entertain by setting up a little routine for her to do. In hope of loosing some of the relatively loads of weight that she seems to have put on over the past year or so long, but now this time it gives us a better chance of keeping her more slim. As she isn’t just driving around in her car to peoples homes to tell them how to look after their children, stopping off at McDonald’s on the way. At least in the short term this has been fixed.

So anyway I got up later than I’d have liked to but then again it’s this whole thing about how farmers are having to pay to import a load of cheep Eastern European labour, to pick their crops. I am unsure of why, why don’t they just put the extra money that it costs to import the Labour into the wages of their employees to make it more appetising for British youngsters, as I would much rather be working out on the land than in an office. Then I concede the education system here ain’t up to prepping us to do that kind of work, it’s more into getting us to do some algebra which I am yet to find a use for in my regular life. See it’s just like this: they teach you stuff that don’t help you in your lives unless you’re going to do something certain, then the rest of what you have learned is nonsense.

I don’t really know much about anything, but then I know that I’m stupid, apparently I was a bit good looking in my past, then again I never saw that about myself quite literally. Is there an arbitrary standard of what is called handsome or pretty or can anything be called that, and it’s just up to the persons perspective? I thought it was just up to the persons personal opinion. As it is so how could I possibly say that I was in anyway attractive? I can’t I can only tell you of what one persons opinion of my appearance was. So I’m not saying that I was attractive I’m saying that I had a friend that thought that I was attractive, and then again I thought that she was pretty attractive also. But then again I am a man without a romantic bone in my body, I need a reason to act, and for so long that reason has eluded me.

Day 2241

Day 2241;

19.98 was my BMI today, I had made 18,178 steps, which were apparently 11.77km, and I had burned 1424kcal.

Breakfast: weetabix, banana, orange, apple,strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
Lunch: macaroni cheese and a shortbread.
Dinner: turkey steak, peas, carrots, potatoes and lemon meringue pie.
Drinks: fruit juice, fruit squash and hot lemon squash.
Snacks: toasted hot crossed bun

So today I have been on the gym equipment at my house, for the usual amount of time on the rowing machine (just 15 minutes) and the fit cube (10 minutes). Then I did the mornings P.E. with Joe, and I did a bit over half an hour on the treadmill.it was only around the track I think that I only managed to get myself just about slightly more than 8 laps done, I believe.

The thankfully I had taken it upon myself to have an hour’s long little walk around out back today, else the little cycle which had my minutes of intensity up above 1000 for the week. Then before that I found out that I had become an uncle, Emu’s had her first child. It’s a son of which I will be calling Jim from now on, at least until he can tell me what he would like to be called.

After the news that Mich had become a grandfather Mich only wanted a half hour on the tandem, and then it wasn’t which turned into twenty one minutes. So it wasn’t very good for the old intensity minutes, so we had a mini cycle; one that was particularly pathetic.
