GMX Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Even that wouldn't dent my insomnia, but it sounds good nonetheless B) Have you tried counting Vauxhalls rolling off Beachy Head, as remedy for your insomnia? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that makes me too happy, I need to think of something neutral which is boring and doesn't effect any emotional feelings... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you not lifting much in your restoration/building project, at the moment? When I was involved in property restoration in late 80's/early 90's, I ended up being fitter and stronger, without even noticing I had :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurray01 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I don't like turning around to wind my watch only to find that it has disappeared from my bedside cabinet. It was there 30 minutes ago, and now - vanished. On the bright side I came across a new pack of Settlers antacids on the floor whilst searching for the watch (which I still haven't found). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to top it off, what I lift in the gym is more than I'm lifting in the restoration side of things... I'm by no means a body builder and there are plenty stronger than me, but I was using 34kg dumbells, so total of 68kgs... Now I'm playing around with 24's (so 48 total) :(. In comparison, sheet of sound block plasterboard is 'only' 28kgs... I do what I can to sneak in 'challenges' like lifting double of 'stuff' or 2 sheets of something.. But it's more the awkward sizes and narrow passageways rather than the weight that gets me... All that being said, it shouldn't take long to get back to where I was (which was moaning and aching around the place after stupid attempts at personal bests)... *rolls eyes* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was restoring what were essentially stone derelict shells back into livable residences, in rural Tuscany, for various ex-Pats mainly. Which involved a lot carrying undressed stone about. It was too steep/rocky ground/ otherwise unsuitable to use barrows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laumk7 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 What I don't like today is finding after having to squeeze through an impossibly small gap on my in laws Street, car on there had parked a stones throw away from the wall rather than up against it like everyone else does. And there being a rugged cotswold stone wall on the other side I've had to squeeze through and despite best efforts - my wing mirror (on the car side) got scratched!

GMX Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 The was a product of pleurisy cough green Corsa, in Tesco's car park tonight, stood out like a septic thumb on a healthy hand. However, this was counter-balanced by red Fiesta ST, in the mother & baby slots, with 65 plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to start at 5am during the hotter months, otherwise it was bit too much, by about 11am. What did you with your cast iron bath? There's a massive demand for English baths in France, they're paying 3 times face value, for our baths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
