Ten minutes then I am asleep.

Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time.

Started lifting twice a week at the leisure centre with Ren's eight-minutes-and-a-chair approach adapted.

Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is annoyingly right.

Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly.

Anyway.

Reading this at half past six with a cup of tea and nodding at every line. Thank you for writing it down.

Have you got someone to go with you? If not, several of us will be on the call on Sunday.

I did the same thing with the box, for six weeks, in a two-bedroom flat. We are ridiculous and we are fine.
