Back is absolutely cooked (physio said it feels like concrete). He alao said that today and tomorrow will be agony for me.
Trying home remedies and some heat
Enjoying the Foundation TV series (Jared Harris is such a great actor)
Hope everyone is having a peaceful Saturday
You gotta take it easy when choking kids out for lunch money at BJJ bro.
Fuck them kids. They know the rules of the mat
this made me spit beer on my keyboard, lol thanks
Not the Oettinger!!!
I'm having a Monsuta without spitting
hahah there's just over half a carton in the fridge, besides, essence of beer in the keyboard makes my den smell authentic lol
The worst European beers are still on par with most Aussie ones
And the best beer out there is the one that you like anyway 😁
Exactly, love an oettinger; i can be poor but still have my homelands product. and it all tastes better than VB so we're all winning
Du bist Deutscher? Wunderbar!!
I'm not (well...kind of but not really) but have a deep appreciation for the country
Half-german, half aussie. can read german well, but speaking and writing is shithouse I may as well be a smol babi
I was actually looking to get a citizenship at some point, but I'd have to give up my aussie one (there's more to why that is, but I dont want to dox myself more than once tonight lol)
Dual citizenships are handy.
I'm hoping for a third but would be difficult.
I have Family that's from Germany and eastern Europe but not sure its enough to get a passport.
Fisiocrem.... As mentioned earlier. I have ongoing back, neck and shoulder issues on account of thinking I could do things in trees that I could in fact not do. It's consistently my jam for flare ups.
Would it work for feet? Mine ache so badly after a day of walking through uneven parkland
I would imagine it would.
I applied some earlier actually.
And got my back taped up too.
This happens every few months, so I know how to manage it. Just part of getting old
Totally. My last big neck flare up was on account of me twisting whilst doing my teeth for godsakes....
Hahaha...that's a laugh of understanding and sympathy.
There's weeks that I can train for hours and keep up with athletic blokes half my age.
Then there's weeks like this one where the slightest movement results in agony and debilitation
My current favourite is the random injury pain somewhere when just taking a breath. Good times.
I flared up my siatica once, just getting out of bed.
4 moths of recovery that was.
Yay!!
Oh god, I got tickled once and was out for weeks 😅
Any good? I just finished silo and was a bit let down. Tempted to try foundation now there’s 2 seasons.
It's not bad. I'm 2 eps in.
Slow burn, kind of like The Expanse in a way.
Helps if you've read the books as there's not a heap of exposition.
I'm digging it.
You had me at like the expanse!
Jared Harris was in both 😊
That’s right! He was Dawes wasn’t he? Loved him in Chernobyl too.
He was Dawes and the main dude in Chernobyl.
Also Moriarty in the Rituchie Sherlock movies
Old mate gets around
I've been getting through Mad Men and Jared Harris is delightful. I really couldn't believe he was that dude in The Expanse (who will always remain weirdly South African in my mind)
Anderson Dawes was the name and yeah had total Afrikaner vibes in the expanse
Can't say what a Belter accent would be, but I'm going with his
