It was fine in April, construction got shut down and I didn't have to deal with them. I'll be expected in work next Monday with cases heading for 2k+
As I said, half arsing it.

It's essentially just a new version of yours

which makes the scroll wheel way smoother.

Measuring myself for this - My waist has risen since August from a 30 to a 36, chest from 38 to 40. Left hospital at 63kg. Natural weight was always almost spot on 66kg - same for my brother and dad. Now I'm at 78kg. Must be something weird following the operation, medication, or maybe just eating more after quitting smoking. But before no matter how much I weighed I couldn't go over 66kg. Maybe it was a high heart beat that was using up all the excess energy before. Still in the 'normal' weight category though as was in an underweight category before.Jayzus, Sheila! I forgot me feckin' trousers

Thats interesting about the cigs, and well done on joining the smoke free world! The wife has just given them up also - a ridiculous saving of about €500 a month at French prices, but would have cost about €700 at Irish prices. What were we all thinking?!"We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

I dunno what else they could have done.
I intially thought riot shields would have been the way to go but the guards appear to have done
every reasonable method of force escalating up to shooting.
Or course, comparing it to every incident where the other party didn't end up dead makes for dicey reading

One particularly popular hot take I saw this morning was: if you see a black person having a mental breakdown don't call the police on them as they'll be shot.
You get the impression some people would love to be living in Detroit so they could be out marching.

Think this shooting incident will be a big eye opener for some people wrt to some of the “truth seekers” and “activists on Twitter” in addition to some of the race baiting politicians and activists who get far too much air time just because of their Twitter following
Media organisations need to be reminded that Twitter is not representative of public opinion- it’s a completely gamed waste off space that needs to be actively censored due to the amount of bad actors and propaganda on it

If anyone is near a SuperValu, there is ridic value atm on fillet steak. 17.50/KG, the piece i got had no chain or tails, just the center cut, very little waste, was going to do steaks but decided on a Wellington.
€22 for that.

She mentioned something she heard recently about following that idea but having a one word type of skew to it.
So perhaps your goals are based on an underlying effort at "Creativity", "Calm" or "Structure".
FWIW I cant remember any time where I set goals for the new year but I think I'll try come up with a few pretty achievable ones this year.
I just thought the above was a pretty interesting way of looking at it.

I just thought the above was a pretty interesting way of looking at it.
So like "Structure" might be concentrating on maybe getting up at the same time for a week or two until that habit is built?
Then perhaps block booking time in your work calendar for specific things you always want to, but never get done for the next week.
And then maybe attending one gym session for the next few weeks.
Etc etc. Cadence and Velocity mileage may vary obviously.
I don't usually set goals for new years specifically, I do set them a lot throughout the year in small chunks though. I actually find that not having the overarching visionary goal actually stunts me sometimes. I like your idea above.
One of my main goals for this year is to max out my current RRSP (retirement savings plan) and TFSA(tax free savings account) room.
To do this I plan on taking major advantage at tax return time and then consistent deposits throughout the year.
Another was to get to a scratch cap, but unfortunately we got a puppy a few weeks ago so my summer of 4 or 5 rounds a week is probably dead as a dodo.
Gonna spend some time today and tomorrow thinking, theres a few things I want to do, the plan is to figure out how to define the goal, and then break it down into chunks I can act on week by week. One you have that done, the rest is tenacity.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

She pointed out that I really like fish so that’s a reward nor a resolution. She’s right 2021 is already looking good.

nice snack to have before we get our dinner at 9 but its one of the reasons I’m a little more festive shaped this year.

Not one for resolutions but I really want to get my fitness back. Dropped so much since July when the baby was born. Found things really difficult on the running front with 3x young kids. That and the motivation dropping with races being cancelled. Dropped from averaging 60km a week to averaging less than 20.
Have made a plan for it. Gonna aim to run before work Mon to Thurs.
No drinking Fri night and an early morn long run on Saturdays. Have been doing that bit successfully for a few months already.
Want to drink less on Sat nights too. Sick of being badly hungover on Sundays. Thats seperate to running/fitness goals though. I'm full of life and energy with my wife and kids on a Saturday. Need to be that way on a Sunday.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

The second of Steve McQueen's Small Axe films Lover's Rock is a last minute contender that snatches the best Movie or TV show and the you can throw in the best music of the year.
Incredible... Ladbroke grove 1980 wasn't all that different from Moyne Road 1980 and McQueen captures something really special highlight of the year.
