Friday
Stub work - volume

2 hand pinch

My right wrist is still (today being Sunday) aching after the heavy axe work on Tuesday. I'll have to limit this now to one session a week. That said it was HEAVY (close to the record). On other matters I've been especially tired these last few days so the need to drive myself onwards has been paramount. Friday's session was a good example. Dog tired, feeling run down and so on yet when the time came the tired dog becomes a feral beast and wants to tear shit up.
