So im out meeting Paul the Blindman, with his dog Bolt. I’ve gone to his house for a garden beer and there’s a stream at the bottom of his garden.
I wheeled through his garden and got some duck shit on my left hand in the process.
I didn’t have a cloth or any water… so i turned the tap to empty on my bag of wee attached to my leg, and I washed my hand in wee. Obviously my wee is like pure spring water… and given the choice between that lovely liquid and duck shit… it’s a NO BRAINER!
Down by the river again. Three girls, all about 24, CLEARLY not seen each other for ages, meet for a picnic.
Hugs, kisses, food sharing .. no distancing.
Pandemic over, right? What’s the problem?!
ALL THREE ON FURLOUGH ( I overheard ). So their employers are taking the lockdown seriously, the Government is even paying them to be socially responsible (!) yet they have NO FING IDEA what their obligations to society are.
And THIS is the problem. ‘ Well I haven’t got it, so what’s wrong with me kissing my mates? They haven’t got it so they can’t give it to me !’
Only the Chinese have the structures in place to MAKE the population behave responsibly. Left to their own devices people are mind numbingly stupid.
The lockdown in Britain will prove to have been a complete waste of time. Sad, isn’t it ?
Hang on, a bloke of about 40 just arrived. Hugs and kisses all round again.
And now another guy, about 25 too. Same routine.
To be honest, I am actually really really shocked.
And a big thank you to Wendy, to Pia, to Chris Cats, to Toby and Cress, and to Glenn, Dickon, Robbie, Sam and Churchy and Toby again for making my 7 year paralysis anniversary day ( and the one after ) far better than it has been in the past.
❤️
Just spent a few hours with Chris Cats down by the river. It’s a hot and sunny day, and lots of people are out. Pubs are serving drinks for take away, or people are bringing a bottle.
What’s very evident is that there is a behavioural line separating the youth from say their parents. The 18/22 year olds are behaving almost exactly as they did Pre Corona, grouping close together and sharing physically and spatially.
When this virus has the next spike, which I believe it certainly will, it’ll have been THAT age group which caused it. They themselves won’t be ill, but they’ll be responsible for much suffering.
It IS all very predictable.
Going forward though I don’t think there’ll be another lockdown. It’ll be for the vulnerable to avoid contact with carriers. For some that’ll be impossible, as they are dependent on the aid of the youth, so they’ll perish, but for those that have the capacity and ability to reduce to a minimum their chances of catching it, then it’s going to be up to them to do just that. To expect ‘ everyone not at risk ‘ to stymie their lifestyles indefinitely in order to save the vulnerable, isn’t a realistic proposition. Humans are way too selfish to stop doing what they WANT to do, for the sake of others’ health.
A vaccine is the only hope for many, many people, that and making yourself less vulnerable by making yourself more resistant through diet and exercise.
Interesting times ahead.
Jesus, I only something out today – that a lad I was in school with, a really funny lad too, lost his father to suicide whilst in school. Then his brother committed suicide some time after that.
And his mum was found dead, officially of hypothermia, in a field at the top of a local ( small ) mountain.
To think I saw Keith, from time to time, and wondered why he didn’t seem ‘ that friendly ‘ now makes sense. Not many people would still be smiling a lot, after that loss.
Well after 16 days of being strict ( with the exception of drinking like a fish to ‘ celebrate my survival’ with half of the Toulon Twelve – bless em ) it’s fair to say it’s worked pretty well.
I’ll do some sort of short video with pictures at the end of the 30 days but this is me this morning.
So In less than a fortnight I’ve lost so much bloody weight that my chest muscle disappeared over 24 hours, as my body turned to burning muscle to fuel itself.. this despite me eating a lot more and even chocolate biscuits!
So I’ve had to pause the crank for a bit and do some resistance exercise, along with eating more. The objective was NOT to become scrawny.
Did you see that Vinegar is being renamed as ‘Vi’?
And Arnold Schwarzenneger is going to be Arnold Schwarz?
I’m losing weight at high speed. Initially that was fine, but after not even 2 weeks I’m in danger of it going too far the other way and just being really thin !
Already I’m eating far more than I was for the first 11 days, but it’s still falling off me. Another 2 KGs in the last 24 hours, and probably 10 KGs at least overall.
I’ve proven that weight loss is easy, you just have to exercise more than you were, and eat less than you were, at the same time.
It’s THAT EASY.
I’m going to have to reduce the arm crank or triple my calorie intake then.
Hmmm. I look at the ‘ distance cranked in an hour’ and yesterday on the third of my 3 separate hour long cranks I beat my best ever distance, so I haven’t lost power ( or its been compensated for by improved fitness ).
Maybe I should just eat loads of chocolate every day?
