Pray for me. Today is the day that I test my resolve and hack off a wall of render, one tiny little piece at a time until I would likely enjoy jamming the SDS drill into my right eye… should it not be completely full of dust!

Rumour control has it that we are actually going to get some sunshine soon (maybe we already have but I’ve either been away somewhere we’ve not or been inside a CrossFit gym), and so will be able to enjoy wonderful long evenings in back gardens or parks and while out on 400m runs (etc). But importantly NOT complain about it as we will be freezing out butt cheeks off again before you know it.

Tonight is the night. 24.3 is out and I honestly can’t see how there won’t be a squat and a pull up involved. How is up to a very evil man, and it will likely be something very clever that you couldn’t possibly think of and hurt more than you could possibly think of.

I shall pray for us all!

Anyone else suffer with airport anxiety? You for some reason best known to yourself decide to leave at the very last second and spend the entire drive bitching about the amount of “melts” on the roads, driving like their are taking Ms Daisy to her first class seat in 7 hours time.

The reason why is because when you actually arrive at the airport, you genuinely have gangs of time and can write blog posts about your experience to entertain you lot for a second.

Sunday night airport travel means far fewer pissheads.
