Last Notes npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B Forgot to do #duolingo yesterday and my 220 day streak is gone. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B Erm, little help here for please. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub1te7…3dzs you gotta imagine that’s the idea. It boggles the mind how they keep concluding stuff like this will have a net gain. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B So the #tories will bring back a form of #nationalservice if they win. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub1psd…9sr7 I’m in Granada, Spain, at the moment. Low 30’s today. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B So the #EU offered the UK the chance of returning to a version of #FOM for 18-30 years old. An incredible opportunity for the younger generation to experience what people my age took for granted (the ability to experience the cultures of our nearest neighbours. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub15zu…s7lx @npub1s8n…susg, No idea. I suspect not; I suspect they just charged the host! I recently had to cancel an Airbnb booking as the guests started making ridiculous demands after they'd booked. ABB tried to charge me 20% to cancel, but they only backed down when I told them to delete my property. Like all these third parties, they are not pleasant. Fortunately, only about 10% of my guests come from them, so delisting is not an issue for me. Many good hosts will leave now. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub15zu…s7lx @npub1s8n…susg npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub15zu…s7lx @npub1s8n…susg I list my 2nd home on Airbnb. It has cameras. They are mentioned in the listing and guests told to unplug them on checkin and plug back in on checkout. I have them for security when the house is empty and being cleaned/maintained. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub1cvw…hwrq morning sir! I’m back over to Andalucia next week and looking to catch up on running. Been pretty slack with it here, mostly once a week. Just been too cold, plus been getting back into biking. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub16rs…dfz9 I love the colour. But for me, the blue does pop enough to really wow. I’d try it B&W with the contrast pumped up. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub16rs…dfz9 great shot. Bet it looks brill in B&W. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B Chips are not as cheap as people seem to think. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub16rs…dfz9 it’s been a slog! In July last year I decided to try running again. Managed 1k before knees hurt. Got the trainers sorted and managed to limp to 5k after a week or two. For months a hated it then eventually managed 10k and was chuffed. Kept at it, then one day went out, did 10k in a good time and felt fine afterwards. Since then it’s been onwards and upwards, getting easier each time. 5k now feels like a warm up. I now enjoy it but need to get past this hump and on to 20k. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B #running shoe advise from the community needed. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub1cvw…hwrq ya, all good thanks. Having to consider my marathon goal at the moment as struggling with hip and knee (left) issues when I go over about 13k. But not throwing in the towel yet. Focusing on stretching and strengthening exercises for now. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub1cvw…hwrq hilly! npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub16rs…dfz9 great pic. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub1mgt…z8en npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B Just back from a trip to the post office on my #ebike npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B Decided to read a story the old fashioned way. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub1cvw…hwrq sounds lush. I’m back over in two weeks. Hoping to get in my first flat run ever (it’s very hilly where I live in Ireland). I’m planning a coastal 10k. Curious to see what my pace is like when I’m not either running up a hill or recovering from it! npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B From what I can see, after reading various articles, the owner of #oceangate was very clear about the risks. They said the sub doesn't conform to any standards, isn't certified for depths, and there is a high risk of death. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub1cvw…hwrq Hilly! npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub16rs…dfz9 love it! npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub16rs…dfz9 What spec is it? npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub16rs…dfz9 You're trading in a 2020 iMac? Out of interest, may I ask... How much are you getting? npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub1cvw…hwrq What is Z2 training? npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B @npub1cvw…hwrq it certainly is! I’ve been inspired by some of the runners I follow, yourself included, to push things a bit. And found I can do longer distances reasonably quickly. So I focused on a 10k route and now find it perfectly doable. So the natural progression is to push to marathon. Albeit a half one for the first time. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B So it looks like I've just signed up to do the #malaga #halfmarathon in Dec! npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B The only photo from the nonsense that is the #metgala that matters. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B Need urgent advice. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B I can now apply for my first Irish passport after getting citizenship last year. But it’s possibly I need to send in my UK one with the application, and as I travel monthly, I kinda need it! npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B #[0] cracking shot. Great light. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B #[0] if I’m honest I never food shop on price. I guess I should, it’s not like I’m loaded, I just find life too short to spend time comparing prices of similar goods when it amounts to pence saved. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B Why does the UK media still refer to the likes of #[0] as discount retailers? I don’t it’s about price anymore, but used as a derogatory term. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B #[0] I got it last summer when in Spain. It was mild enough, just a sore throat for a few days. I’m just getting over a chest infection so suspect I’ll be getting it soon. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B #[0] I actually know someone on here that is doing that. Know, as I’m personally know. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B #[0] alert! npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B LMFAO at people losing their shit about Camilla being called #[0] not Queen Consort. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B #[0] Better, check out the ads. When was the last time you saw a twitter ad for anything other than "the latest greatest gadget", that everyone can see is pure tatt? npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B #[0] 100% agree with that quote. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B #[0] I’ve only been running since Aug last year. Average I guess twice a week. I can honestly say the run the other day was the first I actually enjoyed. Like really enjoyed. Felt great etc. I do think I’ve finally turned the corner though, so hopefully I’ll start enjoying running more, or at least hate it less, going forward. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B #[0] same pace. My number is only slightly lower. But I record in KM’s! npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B #[0] aha, right down the other end. I’m not familiar at all with down there. I’m up the other end of Andalucia. Great shot BTW. npub1m3kgj3hyew6m28pcdzsk2q6tnj886e5zkc62mhttw8pvxpw7ncaq9hlnan Steve B #[0] What beach is that?
