Gardening ! Bitches !
OK, so this has taken me like 5 months which is ridiculous and I've still not finished and yes, I've cheated and got the farmer to come and stack my big logs with his telehandler because I can't move them ..
Basic plan : Fell dead trees. Cut up existing storm fallen trees. Pull out all the freeekin brambles. Pick axe out stumps - get farmer to take them away or put them on one of my "nature" piles .....
Top of garden before :
Today, a couple of meters further back ish ..
Bottom Garden before: No I don't have a vitara, I found it in a shed and got it going and have since broken it But it's on my list to fix because it's actually quite fun ! This section was completely blocked with fallen trees when I started.
And again today but a couple of meters further back ..
Wider angle :
But I am now well behind on my cutting and splitting ..
Back log 1 ... no pun intended .. there is a bottle of beer from this evening for scale ..
And backlog 2 , which with interim stacked on my Boules court - so needs moving !
With three similar backlogs at the bottom .. bah humbug.
If anyone wants a guaranteed no expenses paid cutting and splitting holiday. Sleep out under the stars, watch people drink fine wine, poo in some sawdust .. You know where to come.

You seem like a sensible guy. I'm guessing you always warm up light and start with a pawn. ?

Today a 40 mile analogue ride / with a stop for blueberry pancakes
What a beauty your woods are, I remembered how young and beautiful I was. When I lived in Lake Forest I always enjoyed the outdoors. Back then I had already set up a little sports complex Best 9 Outdoor Exercise Equipment For Backyard Gym on the grounds where I would come and work out. I'm so flattered that someone also likes the woods. True, I don't do construction and don't cut down trees, but I think my strength would be enough. But a bike marathon is too difficult for my joints. I think you are a very beautiful person, if you are so attracted to nature Can you make bars out of these trees and do a good workout on them?

She claims that her routine will allow one to live forever.
how exactly does it stop telomere degradation or free radicle destruction of cell membranes?
I’m suspicious
Forever until you die ? it's relative ? .. so your forever ?
Don't ask me, I'm chasing round the room after the dammed free radicals.
I hope you're not whittling at the same time ?

She mentions cold shock and heat shock for extending life.
I’ll keep my Bosch battery in the freezer each night and then plunge it into a pot of boiling water each morning for unlimited cycles and eternal battery life.

So I set myself a middle-age challenge.
60 push-ups within 120-seconds, hanging on the TRX with legs elevated on an exercise half-ball.
Currently I do 60 in 150 seconds, I need to get to 120-sec. TRX helps ensure good form, now I am working on the cadence, 1-sec up 1-sec down!
What is your non-bike exercise challenge?
PS. I do the challenge on Saturday morning, that is when I have more time at my disposal.

At your age I'm amazed the other half still wants to keep you in there.

You are right, some yoga movements have really helped.
But I don't forget muscle training, when you get older you really need it.
Anubis has a banging body and the head of a jackal. Given how many tinder bios demand abs, pecks and 6ft tall I reckon he’d score more Bhudda…Could be worse, eg. Anubis
