How's it coming along? Any improvement?

Can I get a TLDR; please?

Only read briefly about the situation with the windows. I'd be wary of letting someone other than the window company fix them. Considering the environment you're in and the pressure that puts on all materials I'd want everything present and correct from factory, not bodged together. A fix that'll last 10 years in a city might be kaput in just a few months where you are

“ Alblasserdam”

Sounds like Amsterdam after too many beers

Just read the news. 4 swedes apparently. 😢

First ski lesson for our 6-year old tomorrow. All fingers crossed.

🤯

Would love to know how you do these. Are you comping a few things together or is it all in one take?

Best life advice I’ve ever had.

Bend knees, lean forward. You should have a fair bit of your body weight supported by the front of your boots, ie shins

For skiing yes. In general too.

Have you got stiff ankles?

As with cars, the answer to most problems is spending more money

110 is a pretty stiff boot, too stiff for a beginner I’d say, unless you’re heavy which I think you’re not?

Try renting an 80-90 boot?

Would be useless around here then :(

Isn't the whole system based on the tags being close to connected devices, ie iphones? So if your cats are far enough from other people they won't be tracked?

Hope I'm wrong as it means I could track our cats even though we live in the sticks 🧐

For me, being super strict is counterproductive as it's too boring. If I want a beer in the evening I'll have one, same with food etc, but just having the fasting mindset stops me most of the time without it being any kind of sacrifice.

Been thinking about it since my last post and the main benefit for me has been that my body seems to get 'done' with the food I eat. Hard to explain but before I usually felt bloated while still hungry which made me eat more. Now I feel my body can work through the food I eat, and then be done and just function for a few hours rather than playing catchup with my last meal. I also feel lighter, esp in the morning when I do my exercise. Done a few evening runs after dinner and the feeling is quite different.

I'm sure there's a better way to explain it though!

I’m still doing it though not to the hour anymore. We have dinner at 5-6 and that’s usually my last food for the day. Then coffee and water in the morning at 7 then breakfast at 10. Usually getting an hour exercise in before breakfast 3 times per week, trying to do walks on all other days.

Been doing this since I started the thread so it’s my new normal. Really struggle to have breakfast before 10, sometimes I’m not hungry until 11ish. Have the odd day when I wake up starving and then I just eat as my body seems to need it.

Dunno about increased stamina or strength but I sure feel a lot better. Not as bloated as before and it seems like my body is better balanced. Also cut out a breakfast without noticing any difference in energy levels. Used to have one at 7 and then a second at 10, now just the second one but same amount of food as before.

I’m not clued up enough to give a recommendation but maybe it’s just not for you? Or try changing the hours a bit? Maybe 9/15 is better for you? Or 10/14? 🤷‍♂️

Me, this time next year.

In all seriousness though. Spendy but prob worth it, looks bang on brief. Let's see what scilly comes back with, hopefully something a touch cheaper :)

ah man, sorry to hear that. Fingers crosssed it'll be good tomorrow!

That said though, you ski with bent knees so sounds like you have the range needed?

Sounds good, I'll PM

Amazing, thank you.

Mind if I ask what you have? :)

I'm in Sweden so would need to be posted = potential nightmare

187cm though if you're up for it. I'm happy to pay of course.

Can anyone recommend a good pair of dungarees, potentially insulated? On weekends we're outside for a few hours everyday and it's too cold for jeans and longjohns and I'm fed up wearing my goretex salopettes.

Carhartt could work but it'd be nice to have some other options

Think mine are a UK8 or maybe a 9

What size are you? I have a pair of sanders playboys in brown that I could part with
