Thursday
appt at 1030 and then chasing up stuff. Most amusing was a automated call from Virgin re their service to me yesterday (try piss poor). They got it in the neck.

While working out I dragged my bedding down to the office (so damned cold upstairs it had to be done) and hoovered, prepped my evening meal etc etc. It slows me down for a power workout rather than a faster paced conditioning / bodybuilding style routine.

Thursday
Man on a mission today. Went to JSP+, bank, opticians (collected new glasses), dentist (signed in and booked appt), shops and did a bunch of other stuff. Tesco sim not working so cancelled contract and signed with Virgin. Slightly more expensive but more than double minutes and unlimited texts. Back home and later in the day plumber called and may be able to start work next week and may even have a roofer for me. I just need a sensible quote.

I painted while grip training and knocked pinch on the head for now and so adjustable thick bar came forward. I'd like to do 160-kilos by the spring.

The two hand pinch w/out was, to be frank, shite. The skin tear on my left thumb webbing needs more time and even lifting off the sweet spot still caused grief.

Wednesday
