Treating myself to a remedial massage tomorrow because why not. (I have very tight hammies which cause me terrible knee pain)
I haven't played tennis since Monday and my physio also asked me to not play for a few more days but hopefully should be back Monday.
For me for remedial the calves are something else.
Everytime I almost cry :( Good cry next day though. Stay strong.
Thanks mate. I will have to ask them to go a bit easy!
Side note, I've been using 'mate' a lot. Does that make me an honorary Aussie?
Conga time! 🕺
(reply with you then me and so forth e.g.💃🕺 add yourself to the conga line!)
edit: maybe I didn't explain it right.. it was meant to end up looking something like this with the replies:

Hope I do this right.

Let's say there was a brand new Earth, uninhabited by humans, and you were to be placed in one location of your choosing. You have one backpack of survival gear. Where would you choose to be placed and why?
Bonus question: would you do it if offered today?
Oddly enough, I think I'd choose Melbourne - before the ecosystem was ruined in the 19th century it was quite a nice place to live off the land. Very productive. Good water. Lots of yam daisies and koalas to eat and fish and things. Rich in natural resources like clay and wood. Good stone for tools not far away.
Pack would have to include a puffer jacket to last until I'd eaten enough possums to make me a possum skin cloak.
Would not accept offer for today.
almost 7pm: volcano eruption imminent in Iceland. If you’ve been to the Blue Lagoon, your last time might be the last time.
So just watched the new Fincher movie “The Killer” and it was mid, which is pretty unusual. Anyway besides the original contributions to the soundtrack by Reznor and Ross, the movie was riddled with Morrissey classics.
So anyway, I relay this very important information about Morrissey to MrsGod and she says, “Who?”
I’m still trying to gather my jaw from floor. Shits wild.

8pm: my neopet and I are both clean. I am playing escape game. I should feed myself soon.
The Young Seagoons want to watch Masterminds again. So many good laughs in that movie, can recommend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIkzuXDhCcQ
Anyone know any effective home remedies for lower back pain? I fucked up at the gym yesterday and it hurts to walk lol
So there's this stretch I know. It's performed while standing. You get into like a partial sat position, imagine you were trying to hover over a manky toilet but you had to go. So once you're in the half way to taking a dump position, place your hands on your upper thighs, then push down on your thighs with your hands. Start light to see how it goes for you. The theory is that it allows you to lengthen your own spine by pushing your shoulders and hips away from each other.
I might go down to the festival to locate my daughter and her friends. "Hey baby girl, mummy found you. What's for dinner?". ☺
What’s the status on the neo-pet naughty bits?
i had to groom my neopet to collect the daily achievement.
Oh my..
