attempts at exercise

working from home today. which of course was the cue for the login to try and redirect to a different server that i don't have access to...

As I'm not jogging at mo due to it being pitch black when I get home (I refuse to attempt to cross cattle grids, and jog by the river in the dark, thankyou - it's already slightly slick and boggy during the day due to it being winter), so in an attempt to get some calorie burn, I'm trying skipping. First attempt today since I'm not getting in the up and down stairs that i get at work when I take screen breaks with the smokers. Cue me doing 100 without a problem, stop to take a breath... and then trip every ten or so on the next 50. :eyes skipping rope beadily: Having flashbacks to boxing when they intro'd skipping in the warm-ups.

Muscle-bound boys of armband colour whatever : *flail, trip every 5 or ten, or get it tangled in ceiling lights*
Girls, including the beginners who'd only been going to class 2 weeks : '200... 300... BORED NOW. I like coffee, i like tea... anyone want to do the two-rope?'

i'm still not sure how it's supposed to burn more calories than jogging. Seriously. it's possibly the most low-impact no-effort thing you can do - I mean, seriously, it's very slow rhythmic jogging and jumping. Even when you're doing it fast.

by law, it must be preceded by a long drawn-out chord to give bystanders time to seek cover...

Things you didn't consciously know you knew, #5875:

Morris dancing sounds like nothing else on earth.

Walked into kitchen, where radio 4 is playing. And lo, there was the sound of a creaky accordion, the rhythmic jangling of bells, and the crack of very large stick on stick. Me : 'why are they doing a program on Morris?'

No question of it being anything else. thirty seconds later, the sounds of a Yorkshire accent going 'well, how did you do?' reporter of big city : 'I had no idea Morris was so difficult! ....Kinda fun, actually.'

Dammit. When's that 'Morris: A life with bells on' film coming out?
