I’m used to dealing with scraped knees on the kids but now the cat has cut her lip out in the garden. Hopefully it won’t scar!
I discovered the Insights tab on the Garmin Connect app and now I’m feeling much better about my #swimming!
I’m not even on the distance chart, and I’m on the right side of the pace chart
@ideasasylum @ideasasylum dopey face cos it was post-swim. I never want to swim with bands again 😖
How’s your morning? An old client misfiled their accounts so now Revenue are looking for €1.2m in undeclared income in my accounts 🤣
2.4k 🏊♂️ today:
First 1000m in 17:18, next in 17:07 💪

Ember Tetras in the #aquarium and some nice O2 pearling
Loving the new black #aquarium background. Really shows off the Ember Tetras, Cherry Shrimp, and plants
Decided I’m going to paint the back of the small aquarium black (mocked up here using a bin bag). It’ll show off the fish and plants better
Barbecued smoked steak this evening. Pretty close to my best work I reckon
We experimented with letting the kitten have free reign of the house at night.
6AM status: woke to find the kitten climbing the curtains and diving onto the bed.
Experiment terminated.
Kitten has been confined to the utility room again

Please don't demand content warnings from strangers. Content warnings are a sort of social contract between an author and their followers; if you are not happy with how someone chooses to use them, do not follow that person or outright mute them, or mute words.
One of the most alienating experiences on Mastodon I've observed is when someone posts about something they're passionate about or is part of their identity and the first response is "please cw that" from a complete stranger.
Thanks
Either hand-pick a GIF or don't bother at all. /giphy's russian roulette is possibly the worst idea in the history of software
I’m not sure when I’ll dial it back to 3 swims/week. A swim every day is great for forming a habit but it’s not necessarily very sustainable in the long-term
I’m also feeling much better from swimming every day. Better form, better fitness, and better mindset to cope with the longer sets
Solid 3k swim after yesterday’s disappointment:
3x100m
3x200m
3x300m
3x400m
and I was really shifting that last 400m — 6m26s is pretty close to my best time 💪
