I last ran on Thursday. Very gentle slow run, no issues. Since yesterday my big toe has been getting sore. Even worse this morning. I can point it down/contract it without issue but pointing it up is sore and it's slightly sore just sitting with it relaxed. Find myself limping slightly to avoid putting weight on it.

Any idea what this could be?

My garmin tells me what mine is. On average around 65. RHR of 42.

From what I understand it's not really that valuable as an absolute value but more useful to extent it diverges from the norm.

Mine will reliably drop whenever I have a drink, get sick, or have poor sleep.

just chiming in to also rate DIYkitchens. Customer service good, unit quality seems good. Price definitely good.

have heard so many good things about those guys. Haven't managed to actually go yet!

while we're having a good moan, i did also roll my eyes at the idea of having hot stoves with absolutely no physical barrier in a house with 'growing kids'.

That's probably more reflective of the chaotic energy of my kids being 5 and 7 but still.

any idea on the sizing for their jumpers? i'm 198cm tall, broadish shoulders but reasonably slim often struggling between L and XL for sizing.

you're definitely right on the homeliness stuff. I feel that when I smell the smoke/feel the warmth, even though I know intellectually how bad they are from a health perspective.

i have a theory that wood stoves are the UK equivalent to white collar workers owning huge trucks in the US - an attempt to claim some sort of rustic/manly credentials

good, well done! There's someone near me doing that but I haven't been able to detect which chimney it's coming from.

in a modern efficient house like that are they even needed?

The answer is usually no, but they are included for the aesthetic/lifestyle reasons.

multiple wood burning stoves in dense urban area, FFS. Were UFH or (gasp) radiators a bit gauche?

Oh good tip @M_V. Wouldn't that necessitate a lot of post capture cropping though?

Figured this might be the place to ask - I have a bunch of my mum's old photos that I want to scan and backup.

Can you recommend a scanner, ideally that's reasonably quick in terms of work flow?

I think the ioniser is seperate from clogging. The ioniser stops static build up with ensures grounds are coherent and don't stick to the sides. The declumper stops... well, clumps.

But I use a WDT for puck prep anyway which would take care of clumps (were any actually present!). So it's no loss to remove the wee plastic tab.

anyone else had their df64 clog? Mine did after maybe 15 shots pulled. Had to take it apart to find the culprit - the plastic anti-clumping device. Just removed it and reassembled and all good. Coffee is not clumping without it anyway!

just picked up a refurbished bambino plus for £170

now that i've got my grinder, i have to wait til next month before I can order my espresso machine

in the meantime, send me your aeropress recipes!

anyone using a sous vide machine that isn't made by anonymous chinese amazon sellers? Ideally a kit that does vacuum sealing and the cooking part. My brother is turning 40 next month and wants one.

good to know! I got mine from Sigma coffee as they offered a free bottomless portafilter with it which I wanted anyway. Hopefully no issues but will let you know @M4xime!

just bought a Df64 gen 2, looking forward to trying it out. If anyone else here owns one, did you have to align the burrs when it arrived?

Shimano RS505 hydro levers + disc calipers. Think they are flatmount though. Levers well used.

Have a band on ultegra 11s front derailleur too.

£70 posted for both?

my wife wants to mount a wee seat (sort of like a hammock) in the kids room. We have sturdy joists in the attic. Any idea what the load bearing capacity of one might be? Ballpark?

i'll be buying one soon. Is the white one hard to clean/does it get mucky?

These have a decent kick even with the boiler set at 45c

Edit - probably less than the k3 stelrads I've got though!

i have a 34 inch monitor and it's great if you are a person who often needs to refer to multiple documents all at once - 3440 x 1440

Playing God of War Ragnarok on PC just now. Enjoying it - just the right amount of challenging combat and plot.
