Just got back from the walk in clinic. They couldn't let me in so called me and did the consultation on the phone. (sick of this crap) Anyway, my Dr thinks I partially tore a tendon on my right shoulder. I've had problems in the past but this week it made a very loud snapping/cracking sound. It was loud enough for my wife and kids to hear it. Now just waiting on a requisition for imaging. If it's not one thing it's another. Don't get old if you don't have to! Hope you are all having a better day than me.
Oh no, sad to hear that, David! Wish you a speedy recovery!

Rolled in the gi. Light rolling with white and blue belts. More gi training in the future now that our Grappling Team is rising from the ashes.

I've got Pastel de Nata flavour protein powder, if that helps. :P
But seriously, the flavours MyProtein does for their whey are awesome! Such a massive selection. :D

I wasn't aware such things existed! :)

Yep! They're amazing. They have all sorts of whey flavours on MyProtein. I've been trying different ones out each time. So far, I think the best have been Speculoos, along with Dark Chocolate & Salted Caramel. The selection is very broad: https://www.myprotein.com[...]30943.html
Though yeah, it isn't super cheap. However, they do that annoying BJJ Fanatics thing and whack the 'standard' price up high, with constant 30%+ discount sales to try and trick you into thinking you're getting some kind of great deal. But fortunately it isn't as obnoxious as BJJ Fanatics in terms of the marketing copy and spamming, just the pricing. And the quality has been good so far, meaning I can put up with it. ;)

I don't use protein powders but maybe Dave can try these too! It will give super powers!

If "wow, this is tasty" counts as a superpower, definitely. And the power to empty your wallet quite fast. :P

Oh wow, I don't think they have the sour cherry flavour in the UK! That looks amazing. I love sour cherry, particularly if that's the same as what I would know as vişne (the Turkish version of sour cherry, I basically drank nothing but vişne juice whenever I was at my parents' holiday house near Bodrum) ). :D

Had my 2nd Oxford AZ vaccine this morning.
Then this evening had a tough mixed BJJ and judo session.

It is still too hot in Bristol. Sat in my pants with a fan on, slowly melting. Man I'd be royally fucked if I lived somewhere like Texas! :P

Another gi day. Rolled without my belt (it was in the washing machine) and felt like a rebel. One hour is far too short for a BJJ class. Felt like I could've done two more.

Sour cherry flavour sounds good, but it's not "be willing to burn to death in Texas heat" good. :P

Good day to you all. Just in the office today. Can't really do any physical labour at the moment.
Planning on doing some payroll and then some estimating. Nice cool morning here today.
Anyway I'm getting close to my 3000 post count on here. I spent way too much time on here during these lockdowns. lol

MMA grappling class. I taught some mount escapes to those who don't like to get smacked in the head, then we sparred with the rest of the class.

Today I mostly sliced gouges in my head attempting to shave it. BUT I did at least get better coverage this time. :P

Ha - and I just realised that looks a bit like I'm being shaved by a friendly erection. IT'S MY THUMB. Ahem. :P

I hope you taught that the true way to fight from mount bottom is to fight back!

Fighting, in BJJ? That sounds like faaaaar too much effort. ;)
Oh wait, MMA. I guess that's acceptable, I stopped doing MMA years ago anyway (too much movement expected of me). :D

Wow, Malaysia is being very cautious! Which is good, caution in a pandemic makes a lot of sense, though it's frustrating if it is affecting your business, naturally.
In the UK, the lockdown was due to end on the 21st June, with all social distancing dropped. Due to the exponential rise in cases (due to the delta variant), that's now been extended until the 19th July, with the possibility it might well extend further. However, it's a pretty light lockdown at this point: you can go to pubs, restaurants, visit friends etc. BJJ can't be legally trained full contact, but non-contact is fine, plus you are able to train contact with housemates or people in your 'support bubble'.
So I'm happy it's been extend to July here, I would have been uncomfortable dropping restrictions. I wouldn't be too bothered if it continued through to August, though yeah, it would be nice to get back to normal by September. At that point, the entire adult population of the UK should have been offered both jabs, meaning it will hopefully be relatively safe by then. I am guessing we'll be getting boosters later in the year too, in order to deal with whatever mutant covid variants have popped up by then. ;)
