Only doing what is expected. See you've not changed. Lighten up

Back where we belong. The world feels kind of normal again, apart from all the other shit that's going on of course.
This feels good. I was a kid the last time we won it.

Almost there....

Hopefully he'll be off at the end of the season. Chelsea could easily get something tonight. Either way not long now. Finally!!!!

Normal service resumed at Anfield. We were astonishingly good last night. One more to go, who'd have thought Chelsea can hand us the title tonight. Never nice supporting that lot but needs must

Was it? I missed it. Sounds like it wasn't even worth watching anyway.

I can't work out if I'm madder now than I was before. I guess everyone is in the same boat though

Soon. It's a shame we couldn't win it before this Covid bollox but life is life. Nothing will damper it. Shame I can't get to Liverpool for the non existent victory parade. Next season perhaps

And we're back. Let's get this thing won by next week before they cancel it altogether.
Come on Arsenal!

Lido and the ponds reopening soon on a booking system. I find I miss swimming more than anything else, including the pub 😭

Great thanks. I'll check it out

I am really missing swimming. I may need to check out Shadwell lido

A very surreal ride around Regents Park yesterday morning. A lovely lack of cars on the way there through Hampstead, plenty of cyclists and joggers about, then cycling home through Camden was eerie.

Parliament Hill and the Ponds are shut now

Went for a first swim in this wetsuit this morning. Got to say it is fantastic. Managed to knock out 3k in under an hour in 8c

Just ordered a Zone 3 Vanquish wetsuit, they are supposed to be the best on the market for the money so I will see how I get on. Can't say I massively like wetsuits in general but needs must I suppose

Just dock the financial dopers 6 points now to ensure that if the worst were to happen we'd have already won it in that case.

Don't really want that tbh.

Always unpleasant supporting that rabble but needs must and it's 2 wins for the title.

The question is now do we want City to drop points against the fallen from Grace lot and thereby giving us the title at Everton?
I'd rather we won it at home on a Sunny Saturday afternoon to give us fans a chance to get to the game and celebrate properly

Oofff, we nearly came undone by serial loser Moyes and his 6 defenders but it wasn't to be.

Such a shame about City.

I had a mild hypothermic episode this morning, I can't recommend it. I've had a bit of a cold all week and hadn't swam much but I really needed to get into the cold water today. Did 600 metres in 5c and didn't feel too bad, got out as usual, sat down for a few minutes to prepare for the after drop. But walking towards the sauna, my heart did not feel right and my body felt odd and all of a sudden I felt like I was drunk, so I sat down again outside the sauna and it got worse and I found I couldn't think straight. So I went straight to the lifeguards office, told them the situation and they stuck me in a dryrobe and sat me next to the radiator. A cup of tea and 10 minutes of uncontrollable shivering later and I felt fine, went into the sauna to fully warmup.
They were quite impressed with how sensible I was, they tell me that often they have to literally put people in wheelchairs after they collapse!
Moral of the story, listen to your body especially when swimming in water this cold and don't swim if you have a cold as I think it puts too much strain on your heart.
It's amazing how your heart seems to set the equilibrium for your body. I'm fine now, better than fine :D

Soon Joe, soon....

Yeah I lock my bike up at the lido and often leave my stuff unguarded in my bag in the changing rooms. I feel like they are OK at the lido but honestly, I wouldn't feel the same way in Shadwell.
