Are you looking for a sign? I have signs. I have so many signs. Buy some of my many signs from Lewis-Workshop.com, and feel the warm glow that comes from supporting a small business run by a good looking stay-at-home dad with a heart of gold and a crazy dream to buy food and pay bills.

Just to be clear this was intended to be a pun about your heart rate being in zone 2. You’re both right, there are lots of lovely places in London to run outside the square mile.

I keep seeing advice that if you want to improve your endurance for longer runs then you need to spend most of your time in zone 2. But I’ve looked at the map of London and zone 2 is not somewhere I want to be spending hours of my life…

:P

Today is towel day, but more importantly we should also remember the thoroughly lovely Russel Winder who was a hoopy frood that always knew where his towel was.

A tweet from the late Russel Winder saying “On today of all days, I hope everyone knows where their towel is.”

I typically haven’t worn headphones unless I’m going out for more than 2 hours, mostly because I’ve found them more annoying than my own tedious thoughts :o).

Apparently they do a swimming version too and they might work on the bike as you can still clearly hear the traffic. They could be a triathlete’s dream come true :o).

I borrowed my wife’s new Shokz headphones for my parkrun sandwich this morning and they were great!

Okay, the sound was a little tinny (probably needs calibrating for me), but they didn’t fall out / move (like AirPods) and I could hear cars, bikes, and “nature” (unlike cans).

When I open this GitHub comment I'm expecting to find all the whitespace removed and any needless words omitted :o).

This week is MS Build, so when they announced 6000 redundancies last week, was that MS Disassemble?

Personally I’d not feel comfortable driving a car which was not guaranteed to arrive…

Wouldn’t it be easier to tell us which performances *don’t* contain flashing images and strobe effects?

Disappointed the amps for the Italian song didn’t go all the way to 11 :o(.

My contribution to tonight’s party is the usual assortment of beers from the international market in town. I’m mostly guided by my favourites on Untappd these days :o).

The fridge door mostly filled with bottles and cans of different beers.

Currently designing a concurrency model where the threads in the pool start together before going off and doing their own thing with the promise of joining up again later but in reality it’s intermittent. Working title is: nsync await…
