I have never been this exhausted, but that is what it is all about. Push all you can.

I have come to the conclusion that angle grinders are dangerous.
But I got lucky, it was a thin cutting disc and it cut along my finger.
If it had gone across, it would have hit 3 fingers and cut tendons.
Now all I needed was stitches.

The middle of December and here we are, training in the sun. This was 7 o'clock in the morning.
The temperature was about 10C, and it was lovely.
A privilege to be able to do #dragonboat racing with the Cyprus Sharks .

I just realised how much of an art this blacksmithing is. And how much practise it is going to take to get anywhere close to a good result.
This is my first attempt at forging a hummingbird. It is in there, I can see it. But it has not come out yet.

I am patiently sitting here with the user count open, waiting for the 17 million users.
Doing a bit of work on the side, want to bet that I miss the moment?
