    Back is absolutely cooked (physio said it feels like concrete). He alao said that today and tomorrow will be agony for me.

    Trying home remedies and some heat

    Enjoying the Foundation TV series (Jared Harris is such a great actor)

    Hope everyone is having a peaceful Saturday

              I’m having a Monsuta without spitting Impressive! Though they’re not so bad if you have already had a few (but true for most beers lol)

                The worst European beers are still on par with most Aussie ones

                And the best beer out there is the one that you like anyway 😁

      Fisiocrem… As mentioned earlier. I have ongoing back, neck and shoulder issues on account of thinking I could do things in trees that I could in fact not do. It’s consistently my jam for flare ups.

        I applied some earlier actually.

        And got my back taped up too.

        This happens every few months, so I know how to manage it. Just part of getting old

          Totally. My last big neck flare up was on account of me twisting whilst doing my teeth for godsakes…

            Hahaha…that’s a laugh of understanding and sympathy.

            There’s weeks that I can train for hours and keep up with athletic blokes half my age.

            Then there’s weeks like this one where the slightest movement results in agony and debilitation

              My current favourite is the random injury pain somewhere when just taking a breath. Good times.

                I flared up my siatica once, just getting out of bed.

                4 moths of recovery that was.

                Yay!!

        It’s not bad. I’m 2 eps in.

        Slow burn, kind of like The Expanse in a way.

        Helps if you’ve read the books as there’s not a heap of exposition.

        I’m digging it.

              That’s right! He was Dawes wasn’t he? Loved him in Chernobyl too.

                He was Dawes and the main dude in Chernobyl.

                Also Moriarty in the Rituchie Sherlock movies

                Old mate gets around

      I’ve been getting through Mad Men and Jared Harris is delightful. I really couldn’t believe he was that dude in The Expanse (who will always remain weirdly South African in my mind)

        Anderson Dawes was the name and yeah had total Afrikaner vibes in the expanse

        Can’t say what a Belter accent would be, but I’m going with his
