Happy Canada Day
I'm wearing my Canada ice hockey top as an homage to my home and native land / terre de nos aieux.
I actually prefer The Maple Leaf Forever to O Canada. It's less vague and more self assured.
In days of yore, from Britain's shore,
Wolfe, the dauntless hero came,
And planted firm Britannia's flag,
On Canada's fair domain.
Here may it wave, our boast, our pride,
And joined in love together,
The thistle, shamrock, rose entwine
The Maple Leaf forever!
The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,
The Maple Leaf forever!
God save our Queen, and Heaven bless,
The Maple Leaf forever!
My car was in for a service today. It's been very reliable and smooth recently. It generally gives me very little trouble, and the same can be said about my mechanics. Many people think are mechanics are a crooked bunch, but I think mine are pretty good. I've never thought they were taking me for a ride, and they've advised me that work didn't need to be done when others thought it did.
The Tough Bloke challenge is in Sydney this weekend, but it is fully booked so I will have to wait until next year. The Mud Run, however, is in December. A 12km run through mud and obstacles? Oh yes. I will be in it!
TW: 10 dumbbell shoulder press and 10 marine pushups - 5 rounds, 10 wall ball presses and 10 handstand pushups - 10 rounds, 50 clean and press, 50 15kg weighted pushups.
Then 30 minutes in the sauna and a long shower ending with cold water at full strength. Then feeling high.
