Things That Gladden The Heart

The hockey team that the wife played at for years winning the indoor national championship- they are the smallest team in the National League and for a long time have punched way above their weight without being able to pay the top players - well done girls ????

Tried it today. Pleasantly surprised that I wasn't as slow as I thought I would be. Needs work to get speed up so it's a cardio workout again though.

Are you not looking for cardio on the rower.
I did it myself today as well
I was doing 205 pace for each 500 then slowed to 240 pace after 10 minutes and found it quite comfortable.
If you are looking for cardio on the rower try interval that’s a good workout.

I am but wasn't getting out of breath with my feet not strapped in. Could only do 24spm. I have been doing sets of 250m at 30 - 32 spm with the last 30m as fast as I can. Managing to get up to 38spm. Was changed on Friday though when I had to race against the PT. We went for time at a good speed level, then a burst, then dropping the rate again to recover.

Can't remember the last time I heard anything from her. Like Farage, and to a large extent Trump, I just don't give them any of my time.
 
My son has just called to tell me that his girlfriend has got 12days dog-walking and feeding. She's got work!! All the saints be praised. 12 days @£25/day - that's £300...see me dance :)

Background note - she's 23 with no FE, and this is the first work of any significance that she has ever had...and my son has been struggling on diddly-squat keeping them both for the last 5yrs. And depending upon us to keep a roof over their head.

They are Taylor Aces. They are from the Taylor Bowls Outlet, via Ebay. They sell off previous year's models at reduced prices, e.g. list price for coloured Taylor bowls are round £320 for a set. These are £229 from the factory outlet via theBay
 
The Seth Lakeman gig on Saturday night - we were at the back in a steeply tiered little auditorium.

Oh how irritating and distracting all those bright smartphone screens - phones up in the air photographing and videoing Seth and the band - had it not been that nobody was doing it - like nobody other than an occasional almost unnoticed quick photo. So the darkened auditorium all sat watching and listening to him sing and play a great first set playing through a new concept album (based upon the Pilgrim fathers) - with narration between tracks by Paul McGann. A real treat. And a stonking foot-stomping hand-clapping (how do you do that holding a phone) second set after the break...:)

I suppose the fact that the average age of the audience of 200+ was, I guess, 40-45 rather explains it.
