Got another promotion (stripe) at our annual grading at my Dojo. Feel super humbled by it. I've stepped up a little more and done a few competitions (won some lost some) but it's hard work but for some reason I can't get enough.

A few minor niggles and injuries but they come and go.

So as a reminder to all get out of your comfort zone. Don't strive for perfection strive for progress. I may not be the best but I'm getting better than I was. My frame of reference is my own journey. It's thrilling.

Congratulations!

My father in law recently went to Okinawa for his grading. Looked insane!

I have no idea what i have done with my knee/leg.

Got out of the shower (its over the bath) and my leg gave way in the process. The outer side hurts were it bends. Same goes for the inner side. Then imagine drawing two straight lines from the bends to ankles. There is tenderness all down there.
 
Debating whether today should be classed as a holiday with work. Flown back to the UK, but then met up with a mate in Manchester. He's now left and i'm sat on my laptop in a bar "working" until half 5 when another mate should arrive to continue drinking.

The downside being i'm now lonely for an hour and keep seeing GMT+1 on my laptop and not realising :(
 
2 yewts around 15 or so asked me for the time last night.

I tell them 5 past 11...
The guy asks to see the digits because he doesn't know what that means...
are people really that dumb? my watch face showed 23:06 so probably didn't help them much.


must have been in the UK since birth too from the accents, people don't learn how to tell the time at school?

twenty to the hour, twenty past the hour etc surely isn't outdated language now?

It’s amusing. We were doing time in Spanish class the other week and the teacher was saying the current generations struggling with “quarter to 5” because they need to be told “ four forty five” as they don’t do analogue clock readings.

I’d done some app based time stuff which was always the latter so weird for her to have taught the traditional way.

people don't know what a quarter is? or how many minutes is in an hour?

These are simple maths people should be able to do in their head, probably before they even reach secondary school.


Makes me wonder if half the population would be able to handle cash, maybe that's why the youths don't like it, they must feel like tourists wondering how much it's worth.


Can imagine someone working on a till and not getting it when some oap asks if they want the 5pence

five and twenty past, or five and twenty to, would fry their brains completely.

Do you drink a lot of coffee during the day? Do you feel less sick after having a coffee?

If so, could be you’re drinking too much caffeine and have withdrawal. I feel like this sometimes.

Hmm, in the past probably but I've been mostly caffeine free for a year or two.

I do wonder if I just need to learn to get more sleep but I've never got along with bed before 12am.
