Yeah alright cheers mate, how was yours?

Nipped up to Dundee to check out the new V&A Museum, the kids loved it. Spent .ost of the week in Cumbria with work, getting blown about like a burst bag. Just got in from a cheeky 5k in the pissing rain with the eldest lad, just so I can pre-emptively burn the calories for a bottle of wine this evening.

How's your running going?

It was fine cheers, honestly pretty uneventful.

I started playing Satisfactory and have been pretty hooked (I was up till 2am Sunday morning, after the clocks had gone back) playing, I haven't played a game like that for a loooooong time (like 15+ years). My son loves it too so it's been great talking with him about various strategies!

I haven't heard of the V&A museum! What's in it? Glad the kids had fun, that's pretty much always the metric for success as a parent!

Running is OK. I'm still carrying some kind of calf soreness that flares up after a couple of runs a week. It's a bit demotivating and I really should see someone about it, but... I'm lazy.

Sore one. Ever thought about changing your hoof to a different type? If your gait measurement suggests that you're overpronating or supinating, thought about moving to a neutral cushioned shoe (or the other way round)? I'd been overpronating for years but my own gait seemed to sort itself out and now I stick to neutrals.

I'd love to get into games like Satisfactory - but I know fine well I'd get a mega unhealthy fixation with it and I'd have no job or no family by the end of the week 😂

Did you like the Whale?

I bent half the steel used for the sculpture...

[–] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

Mate that's awesome. I saw it and it was dead sound, but I went away from the gardens and went to the Desperate Dan statue from there.

After that, went to the Lemmings statue and that was cool as fuck!

This one? wow... and I have problems making a hanging basket bracket!

[–] Palerider@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Saw it myself last time I was up in Scotland. First time I'd seen it since it left our factory before it was put together.

Job well done 👍🏻

(Just in time for the yoofs to climb all over it and damage it 😉)

I've already been payed, so I don't care... 😂😜😝
