New Job

New job starting tomorrow. Cutting grass for the council will be a change of scene and hopefully riding around on a mower should be quite good fun! As always seems to be the case, it's not what you know, but who you know. I look around ineffectually (and somewhat halfheartedly if I'm honest) for a job for a few weeks and then a friend mentions he is leaving a job where they are looking for a replacement and boomshakalaka, full time job a few days later.

I spent yesterday trying Silk Teddies at Dunkeld on a shunt. By the time I was done I felt like I had been trampled under a rugby scrum. Trying about a thousand improbable moves in search of the correct sequence and thudding repeatedly onto a minimally dynamic system, it turns out, is quite masochistic.

I have been training indoors somewhat sporadically but now that I have a job in place and some kind of scheduled framework to my life once more, I shall endeavor to climb enough to get properly strong. And if I write this claim here then I can hold myself to it!
