Beer, rum, walk the dog and watch tv. A few cafes open so can still get a drink but the beer bars, gogos and massage joints rae all shut and the entertainment therein have all fled back to the villages.

Waddya mean? 2 years ago Mrs WPT & I went on holidays and stayed in the same room of the same hotel where we had our honeymoon. We had a waterbed.

Mrs WPT called it “the Dead Sea”

Mrs WPT wants to make love in the kitchen. When I asked her why she said she’ll know when her soft boiled eggs are ready

Going the symphony tomorrow night.

Had tickets to see the MSO at Robert Blackwood Hall but concert cancelled.
Instead the MSO will live stream the performance on YouTube.

They did the same for last weeks concert which had approx. 5,000 watching by the end of the concert.

So we can sit in our lounge room with a glass of bubbles (or 2) and enjoy.

So, first day of work outs in the converted Peter Daicos Bar.

Jess did hers early, I did a bit of stuff with her. Then Sharnee came over and we did a session while a mate serviced her car and fitted new brakes.

Some weights, bag work and mitts.

Still have a few more things to source but what we've got is sufficient to get a solid work out...

2 x barbell
4 x dumbell
1 x push up handles
3 x stretchy band thingys
1 x bag
1 x Gloves & mitts
2 x skipping ropes
100 odd kg of weight plates.

Ordered a swim bungee too, my pool is getting cool but should get in a few swims before I head north for the 4 week swing.

I'm going in TP. I've got a springy and a full steamer in the shed, I'll swim in one of them if I have to.

I'm working from home so I don't have to find things to keep me entertained during the day.

I'm getting into a bit of a routine. 2km jalk in the morning (walk with a bit of jogging) through the nearby forest followed up with some specific shoulder exercises and kettlebell swings.

Once I knock off work, go to the shed. I haven't been doing any boxing recently, might bring that in to mix things up but working on a routine through the weights machine, pilates machine and free weights, slowly building reps. Feels good.

I'm quite happy in this situation. Miss seeing the kids and grandson but not missing getting up early and commuting to the CBD and back

Unfortunately that would involve being able to take an overhead contested mark, something I never got the hang of. :cry: :wink:

It may also involve running. I've the jogging up to half a lap so with regular improvement I should be ready by preseason.

I've dragged the old Wii out of hibernation and taken it to my new place. Hopefully that will help with the exercise and boredom!!!

Scored a flat/incline bench, barbell, another 30kg of weight and a pair of 5kg dumbells.

Sharnee coming over in the morning to do a mitt/pad workout with me. She'll do some of her other stuff with the bands and I'll go for a 6-7k jog.

Had a couple of really nice, THC enhanced sleeps since I got back. Keeping my work body clock going. Up no later than 0500hr and take Pete for a walk. I'm in bed already.
