The gym has moved to a new building. It’s got that shiny newness to it, and I discovered there’s a “new gym” smell which is much nicer than “old gym” smell 😄

This is not the fidget toy you are looking for.

Sure, you can mangle and squeeze it, but it’s not satisfying like a stress ball, and it doesn’t go back to its original shape.
Turns out it’s rubber with some sort of white sand-like powder vacuum sealed inside it. It doesn’t dissolve in water, so it’s not salt.
A bit of minor surgery later and the thing looks much better.

We gave the cat a bath. I only came away with minor bleeding.




Fear the day after…
Also, who invented Bulgarian split squats, they’re just pure evil.


I’ve been growing cucumbers in a little plastic greenhouse thing in the back garden. Normally my attempts at this end badly, with the cucumbers turning into the most bitter things on the planet.

This time I succeeded, so I’ve been pickling them. Not all of them were pleasant to eat, it’s a bit like Russian Roulette. I chop the end off a cucumber, take a bite and chew it for a few seconds. It soon becomes obvious if the thing is edible or not.
