Good Morning All
Glad it's the last workday of the week. Tomorrow is Good Friday and it is a holiday here. That means I will be sleeping in till about 6:30 in the morning. Lol
I have some chores to do around the house so I'll be able to knock those out and enjoy the rest of my weekend. Our jerk Premiere just announced we will be going into a further lockdown with more restrictions starting April 3rd at 12:00am. Oh well I hope you all have a great day.

I need to go pick up another citalopram prescription. Latest low mood (as ever, that's why I haven't been around on the forums until today, mood back up again) I've spent doing a binge on Naruto, so that's been fun. I first watched the initial 220 episode run (where Naruto is younger, something like 13 years old, I think) a good few years back, when I was unemployed for a while and felt like I didn't have anything much to do.
However, I must not have gotten very far into the second chunk of episodes, Shippuden (500 episodes, where Naruto and co are now 16), as I don't remember the plot. It's gotten a whole lot more interesting as it moves past the 200 episode mark, which also reflects back on the rest of the series. Themes of revenge, war, pacifism, forgiveness and the like, particularly the consequences of war. As ever with shonen anime the female characters are rather underdeveloped and stuck in stereotypical gender roles, but that's a much broader problem in shonen anime than just Naruto.

Was supposed to teach some heel hook entries from the anaconda guard and x guard, but ended up recapping last weeks stuff and added some x guard retention. We had some newbies today, so decided it was better for them. Everybody seemed to have a good time. Even the wifey, who hasn't rolled in months. Not a bad day.

I finally got around to watching They Live this week, only took me three decades. Fully lived up to expectations, surprisingly smart intellectual underpinnings too. :D

P.S. This stackpath crap is annoying as hell when trying to post a reply. Why does it need to do that in the middle of a post? WTF

Ha - it is and I get that a lot too, but that's because you and I post a zillion times a day, to the extent the security system probably thinks we might be trying to DDoS the site or something. :P

it's a grey area now. Officially in a conditional lockdown til 14 April. Unofficially the government doesn't want small businesses to die off so allow most businesses to resume but with reduced capacity

Interesting. A number of things are opening back up in England on the 12th April, with the main big relaxation of the rules coming on the 17th May, which is also when I'll be able to start non-contact classes back up.
Assuming the roadmap out of lockdown continues like the govt is hoping (which is a big if: there are a lot of caveats that mean restrictions could be increased again), we'll be able to train BJJ normally again in England by late June. But yeah, I'll believe it when I see it. ;)

also the country is not implementing a blanket lockdown. They have stopped international and interstate travel, apply degrees of lockdown in areas that are affected. Prob doing this in reaction to the 2.0 something million recently unemployed people due to many businesses closing permanently.

vaccines are also being rolled out so in my immediate area there are less than 90 confirmed cases in the most populous part of the country.

Being a potato doesn't mean doing nothing. It means sucking at stuff and doing it anyway.
Today just a trip to the docks to get some fresh fish soup. Was supposed to snatch and squat later, but we ended up visiting my cabin and seeing the neighbors. Lost track of time as we were looking at our doggos play together and some swans fly round the bay being the loud, aggressive assholes they are. So, no lifting today, but there's always tomorrow. Had time to see wifey's relatives and pick up some groceries before dark.
Now I'm just thinking about creating some service templates for my customers to choose from. Would probably make selling easier for me and buying easier for them.
It was a nice day. Can't complain.

Good morning and Happy Easter to those that observe.
I am lucky to get two Easters (regular and Greek) every year plus I observe Passover as a mark of respect.
Today I am planning on spending time with my family and doing some self defense with my wife.
Hopefully the weather warms up. Have a great day!

I'm living my best Easter life and putting maple syrup on my hot dogs. This is what happens when I have unrelated food items that are approaching their best before date. ;)

I went on a man date with one of my old coworkers since his wife is out of town. We went to a basically empty cinema and saw “Nobody.” Pretty entertaining movie.

Yay for early mornings, I had the park to myself. Also, I like how this latest route kinda looks like a squid. Or possibly a mutant penis, but that may just be the phallic nature of squids.

Walked in the snowfall with the doggo. It's weird, super bright and snowing like crazy at the same time.
Skipped training for family time and more walking in the snow.
Not a bad day at all.
