Exciting stuff James nice one. My family had a cocker when I was growing up - definitely got a soft spot for them.

Just exchanged on our first home today for completion tomorrow - just in time for end of tenancy/eviction on Thursday. Been a big ball of stress that seems to have released with that deadline.

Yeah - my family had a springer which meant I've always had a soft-spot for Spaniels too. Would have liked a rescue like my old dog, but the timings haven't worked out as we need one old enough, and trained enough, to taken on a trip next year. Can't wait to get him trained up and secretly very excited about the prospect of a pup!

Nice one on the house! That's cutting it fine!

YYFY, just sent my first US V9 and first of the grade since 2018! Psyched.

Maybe, the 8 I did last weekend is incorrectly graded V9 on UKC. This one is correct there though

Last night was the first night since the 13th December 2019, when our second child was born, that he was put into his cot in the evening (7pm) and didn't require any intervention until he awoke at 5am this morning.
I heard him wake a couple of times but he sorted himself out and went back to sleep.
Fingers crossed he continues to practice this new skill!

The epitome of this thread.

The story of UKB is told in the changing nature of the successes documented in this thread.

Could split the thread and create a YYFY parenting one?

Self soothing, a blessing when it happens.

In other news, I'm back on the chaingang, started new job last Friday. This could be seen as a NNFN.

[sherlock]

That's got to be good news on the job front Chris.The pressure's off at least.

[mrjonathanr]

Nice one Mr Chris.

[gollum]

Good stuff Chris

[lagerstarfish]

Nice one Chris.

I hope it's something you want to do

[SA Chris]

Thanks guys. Happy with the job, what I actually want to do is incompatible with paying the mortgage though

Does it have to be?  Could you drop a day a week and try to get started in what you really want to do? (landscapes?)

[SA Chris]

Unfortunately it's not paying as well as previous jobs, would need an extra day a week to get back to where I was, not one less. The way of the industry right now.

No video but I can explain:
Start RH in the pocket, LH on the edge stretched out left.
Left toe on the foothold under the roof.
Right foot on nothing, taller folk can toe hook at this point.

Pull on and put the toe hook on then slap RH to the lip sloper then the one under the stepped overlap then into side of the big flake, cut loose and stab RF to kill swing.

Then basically match and up into finish, however you do that.
Dolly and I used the same method for the bottom but neither of us could do the other's sequence for the moves above.

Had a go at this today. Could see how it worked but never managed to stick the slap to the sloper. For anyone else it might be useful for, the beta that ended up working for me is: hands in the same position Nai describes, right heel in the scoop next to right hand and left foot on nothing. Pull on, pull with the heel and move right hand to flake via sloper if required. Match and cut. Left foot never goes on anything throughout. Felt like a different problem today; mint conditions.

what % BW ?

Roughly 2,1xBW.
Hadn't gone heavy in a few years, but I was feeling mentally fresh and gave it a go before my finishers. To be honest it went up pretty well, no grind whatsoever, so I'm sure I have some margin, but I won't be trying again anytime soon.
Still very happy, really satisfying session. And I've had a few of them as of late.
