Weather is holding my schedule up recently.
I think I need to join a gym or something, though can't say it really appeals to me.
-
Whats the point? Just cheap beer, or the experience/challenge?
-
Doing ok myself though more effort is needed to get out in an everning when it's colder.
I know, what a wuss. I'm just fishing for excuses!
-
Could you guys tell the difference if you didn't see the labels?
I'm pretty sure I couldn't.
-
A few days/weekends around Hiroshima.
A longer trip to Gifu.
And maybe over to Hakuba as well.
Nothing definite.
-
Takes a while to get into the habit I find but once I'm in that gear, I seem to be able to keep going.
Good luck!
-
Just loving the conditions at the moment.
Actually enjoying getting out there every day.
Doing well as well I think, feeling a bit fitter once again.

Friend of my parents has been living the last 4 years of his life not recognising anyone, unable to walk, unable to eat properly and generally in a sorry state.
Not only is it devestating to the people looking after or living with this situation, but it is also costing them a fortune.
That is not a way to end your life.
I know someone in that kind of situation.
Awful it is.
The best thing for everyone would be for them to pass away but it just keeps dragging on.
-
The cooler weather is making it a real joy to be outside now.
Loving it.
-
Sounds like a great deal Tubby. Congrats!
-
Certainly seems to be off-the-scale this year.
Water isn't the biggest of friends of Japan this year hey.
-
Bit put out that there's none of those flashy ads and popups going on though.
-
First impressions overwhelmingly positive! A real transformation. Well done on what was obviously a huge job.
-
Rain is stopping my campaign!
It hasn't half rained this summer hey.
-
Keeping doing good down here too.
Starting to shed a few lbs I think.
-
I doubt many of us will be able to forget.
The ongoing long term nature of 'Fukushima' won't let it easily be forgotten either.
-
Ah wet is no good. I don't go out when it's raining, I don't like the idea.
Tonight is a big nomikai drinking party, so no exercise nonsense tonight! (And possibly tomorrow!)
-
How has the weather been then Mamabear? Too cold or something?
Now putting off here, I'm back into it and actually enjoying. I need to make the most of that while it lasts.
-
Me too going well and right back into it.
Finding it harder to cut down on the food again but giving it a go.

I see there has been a fairly strong quake in eastern US, where they don't seem to expect such big ones.
Quote:Did you know that New York City sits less than 25 miles away from an active nuclear power plant? And that that same power plant sits just a mile south of an active seismic zone that's considered capable of causing a 6M earthquake? That's when things get apocalyptic.The Indian Point nuclear plant, located just north of Manhattan, has provided power to Westchester County and the city itself for decades without incident. But while its operators have claimed that the structures can survive up to a magnitude 6 quake, seismologist Lynn Sykes told the Gotham Gazette recently that he isn't so sure:
The plants are designed to withstand an event on the intensity scale of VII, which equals a magnitude of 5 or slightly higher in the region. (Intensity measures the effects on people and structures.) A magnitude 6 quake, in Sykes opinion, would indeed cause damage to the plant.
Indian Point's two reactors provide 10% of the state's electricity and 30% of NYC's, meaning that in addition to the destruction outlined in our best case scenario, an active fault near the plant would cause massive power outages as well. If the quake were strong enough to create fractures in Indian Point's bedrock, radioactive materials could flow freely into the Hudson River. After the events of Fukushima earlier this year, that's no longer an unthinkable occurrence.

But the jist also seemed to be that there was no agreement on what was 'safe' readings and what was not.
-
Cloudy with a bit of sun this morning.
Quite hot down here.
-
Don't go out in the rain either, it just drains any fun out of it.
-
Been out the last few days. Finding it easy to get back into it this time.
Taxes. Going up.

No tips as well. Which is great.
