Getting back in touch
Oct. 30th, 2011 12:58 pmOn the drive to Sydney I visited Minou who had some encouraging things to say about me setting up a business (she has effectively done the same thing as I am thinking of doing, though it forms a much greater proportion of her income than it would for me.) My parents just rang and they thought it was a good idea too. My dad set up an incorporated business in the 80s and still runs it for a living. Dora is getting a better record at not peeing on the floor from joy overload when I visit. I now don't pay her any attention until she is calm. Everyone in Minou's place seemed happy to see me.
FW: At the gym in Minou's neighbourhood. AMRAP 15 minutes - 15 24kg kb swings, 20 hr pushups, 5 toes to rings - 8 rounds +2 kb swings.
I then went into Sydney and had dinner with an ex-girlfriend, in fact, I had dinner with my first ex-girlfriend, from way back in high school days in Canada. She now lives in Perth and was in Sydney for work. Small world, eh? I was with her exactly half my life ago. I was a bit slow to get into relationships and this relationship was quite short term (but it felt like a bigger deal at the time.) We wound up at a local pub for hours, it was a really nice evening, and we got all caught up on everything that happened over the last 17 years. Now I have more reason to visit Perth.
As I was about to drive to Collaroy I heard from Nerva Chu who was having people over, and I popped over to visit. I wound up dozing a bit on the sofa but not leaving until the morning. Apparently she and a few of her friends may be coming to the next Rugger Bugger show providing that I am in it. All the more reason now. If I can get to rehearsals, I will be in it. I no longer have to worry about not embarrassing employers.
Saturday was spent at the Collaroy Castle which I will have to prepare for my cousin's visit with her family in a couple of weeks. It was also spent eating. And it was spent resting. And it was spent sweating.
YW: AMRAP 30 minutes - 20 marine pushups, 20 air squats - 38 rounds + 8 pushups.
I've also been looking at the prospect of getting some gym equipment for home and putting together some homemade gym equipment myself. Sandbags, a slosh pipe (basically a hollow plastic pipe that you partially fill with water and that will smash you good) a big tire and a smaller tire along with things to hit them with and some heavy rope for pulling things and for conditioning are at the top of my list.
