Will plan something.

    Morning
    Today will be attempting some upper body weight training and a bit of finger boarding along side hip exs. Thereโ€™s even some cycling to watch.

    I think we need to send out a search party for thistle. Time to activate the Shropshire 'asset'?

    Another day at the coal face, staying in the house again until it warms up a bit. Onwards to Teams meetings.

    I can confirm thistle is still alive if you check his Strava (not updated mine yet)

    Got up nice and early for a scheduled 75 minute pedal in the garage only to find zwift had other ideas and crashed more than Geraint.
    Muttered a lot and took the boss a brew in bed.
    Went for a swim instead at lunch which I was happy with.
    Dinner at the parents tonight.

    Ah, I could think of a few with perspex plinth, or glass platters, but few with both.
