TomTom has a harness! And it's a sit harness with leg loops! Based on wet an I expect it was last worn I was expecting a Swami belt.
I bet you mean 2007 or even 1997
This one especially. I've been making a lot of baba ganoush recently - so much better than humous.
Looking at that carabiner it’s perhaps for the best that you haven’t climbed with a rope for years Tom. OK, where I am- two years ago (exactly two years ago yesterday in fact) I decked out from 25 metres, spent a month on hospital (three weeks of which I couldn’t move at all for) and it was five months total before I could try climbing again. With muscle wastage, nerve damage, restricted movement and mental scars it was like starting again from scratch with the added complication of not being able to boulder.I got heavily into my rehab over that winter and managed to repeat a 7a one year after the accident. I then realised that my trad onsighting was still at absolute beginner levels and had a fantastic season addressing that- the most fun period of my climbing ever pretty much. Like all of us in Britain the very wet autumn brought my fun to a premature end but, although I stopped posting in Power Club at the end of the year I kept on at the rehab and have seen great progress this winter- I’ve been alternating mileage sessions on the autobelays with a weight belt with “bouldering on a rope”/ technique drill ones (very encouraged to learn Pete Whittaker did the same thing on a recent Training Beta podcast), fingerboarding, stomping on the stair-treadmill with a heavy rucksack to the extent that I finally feel as fit as I used to when walking up real hills, lifting weights, working on antagonists, stretching etc. (in some ways my posture is better now than it was before I broke my back!) and for the fourth year running I’ve cut out sugary food Jan-March to gradually reach fighting weight. All set for a year of undiluted fun which I hoped would see me regain the lower extreme trad grades and climb on the crags of my dreams in the American west...But now we’re all stuck in the house all day for the foreseeable future. My Dad was seriously ill in hospital a few weeks before the lockdown and I’m not afraid to say that the experience with the backdrop of the encroaching pandemic brought on my PTSD and led to a bout of depression for the first time since I was in hospital myself. Feeling alright now though (my folks are safe at home with a neighbour looking after them and I can’t complain about my own lockdown situation) so this is my first week of training for a few. Makes sense to rejoin Power Club for it!Anyway, goal is to equal all of the pre- accident strength PBs that are possible while on lockdown. I have a BM1000, a pull-up bar, lots of weight (no racks though) an exercise bike and a shared arsenal of therabands/ balls/ rollers etc. I tried setting up a makeshift TRX but things are pretty tight in the flat and places with the arm room and places with a sturdy enough anchor don’t currently coincide . I could also go running but let’s not get giddy.M- Nothing.T- Deadlift. 2 reps at 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 & 95kg. I did 100 last time I was at the gym but couldn’t quite do it this time.W- Walk to Bell Hagg & back.T- Walk in the morning, fingerboard session evening- 7 on, 3 off repeaters, on all the holds. I don’t use assistance, just kneel on scales to see how much I’m taking off. Still can’t do 7 seconds on anything but the three deepest slots but it’s all pennies in the bank.F- Rest.S- Walk to Bell Hagg & back.S- Pull-ups/ push-ups. Kind of a benchmarking session. It seems the benchmark is 3x5 pull-ups, 3x20 push-ups.
Last worn as a proper harness in 2017 in Boulder I think.
Some great sounding meals there Dolly.Quote from: Dolly link=topic=30559.msg603002#msg603002 date=1585521841Grilled aubergine with olive oil tahini dip with Lebanese rice and smoked chickpeas[/quoteThis one especially.

That's what the recipes I've looked at suggest. We've got a hob thing so no naked flames to scorch them on unless you can do them in the oven ?
