Hopefully it won't go the same route as TomTom's efforts!

Five minutes ago I finished the book I've been writing for the last year ... its a slightly strange feeling at the minute.

Fifty Shades Of Gay.  I hate to tell you, but you've been usurped.

Well done anyway!!

[andy popp]

  Great title! You should write it.

Hopefully it won't go the same route as TomTom's efforts!

No chance, its already available for pre-order. Just as well I finished it.

Got married on Saturday. Totally amazing day. I know it is cliche but I feel incredibly lucky to have met my wife! Definitely a keeper. :-) The reception party was great fun, with everyone enjoying themselves. Which was a relief after all the planning. Heading off for a couple days in the Lakes, to do some walking and climbing for a honeymoon. So psyched. Proper YYFY!

Then on Monday I start my new job at a proper engineering company in Manchester. Can't wait to get started and earn a real wage!

Starting to feel like a real man . . . 

If any wants to hire amazing tipis for a party, these guys were excellent. http://www.event-in-a-tent.co.uk/

Also the cake girl made ridiculously tasty cakes! http://www.jenniferoneillcakes.co.uk/

congrats Jamie

I went climbing on real rock, 5 days in a row and had loads of sleep each night.

(I should post the bit about coming back to the sleepless nights in the NNFN thread  )

[lagerstarfish]

Last night I managed 6x1min jogs on a treadmill at 12 km/hr with 1min walk at 6.5 km/hr  in between. This is way beyond what I was expecting to do this side of Christmas.

The fooked ankle hurt a bit last night (nothing that 400mg vitamin I and 25mg codeine couldn't sort out), but is feeling pretty good today

I failed to auto-belay a Virgin Active^TM 7a, but this was due to heat and lack of chalk rather than lack of ankle power. Having to wear HUGE climbing shoes may have had some influence.

So; running and something that approximates to climbing. YYFY!

Also been cycling to work.

It's mainly due to the excellent treatment I'm getting at the physio department at the Hallamshire. They've been great at taking my end goals seriously and working towards them. Way better than I expected from the NHS.

Having snapped my A2 left ring finger back in March, I've been managing to climb again!!!
9 weeks fully off with slow and light rehab climbing...now I know what I can do just using front two and I can still climb ok.
Lapped a 7b down in Swanage two weekends ago and on the way back from coaching at YCS final in Ratho stopped off at St. Bees! Firstly, if you haven't been to this place, then you need to, secondly, I could climb on the slopers with no pain and still climb an ok level...not full power by any means, but getting on the rock again feels goooooood!!!

That's great news. I realise they're some way off but I've been missing your vids. Roll on the recovery

Show off.

I made it to the pub on crutches the other day. Nearly killed me, I got a taxi back.

that will certainly help

thanks

it's hard work on crutches when you can't put any weight on the bad foot

it's loads easier when they let you partially weight bear

beer helps

Damn straight.

I'm hoping that's sooner than the 7 weeks from now prediction.

beer helps

Is it that time already? 

[Nibile]

bought this micro beauty today!!!

now I can plug music and bass to the amp and pretend I'm playing well!!!
it's fantastic really to listen to both the music and what you're playing at once!!!

Got my first (that I am claiming) 7C!
Bullet at Anston Stones.

Got all the moves on Black Crow too - too tired to send by the end of the session though, one for the future (next weekend?  )

YYFY!

[Duma]

Nice one Archie.
I assume you'll be downgrading BC when you do it, for Omar's sake?

[Baldy]

You know the rules - If I can do it, it isn't the grade it has been given.

 

[nik at work]

Just did a one armer holding the baby in the other arm (according to his nappies he weighs between 7 and 14 kilo's). Got quite bollocked for being an irresponsible parent...


...totally worth it though.
