The perils of going alone to the beach*

Colleague: that blue suits you. Brings out the blue in your eyes

Me: my eyes are hazel but thanks

Feeling stronger, less sore, more in control this week, so I increased reps. Still finding my feet at the new gym but feeling less like an imposter there. On advice from my podiatrist I changed to flat shoes for strength instead of the Hokas I use for cardio - makes a difference!

Just know, if you have your DM status on Discord set to “ask permission publicly” …

… I will never ask.

It’s kind of an asshole power move that doesn’t sit right. Be open, be closed. Don’t do that.

I always forget I have to sit like a lady when I'm kilted

What I say: we can get some of that sourdough rye bread if you want it

What Rob hears: Ralph will pickle some vegetables, chargrill some peppers and make me vegetable sandwich

How do I know? Because after I said the first thing he said “I’ll have a vegetable sandwich thanks”

Happy Pride from Perth WA

Pride Parade tonight

Absolutely perfect day
November 28, 2025 at 8:45 AM
And maybe a sneaky beach day

And that is the week done. 4 workouts this week and getting way better and more in control of things. Next week... 5 workouts. And then we're fully back to our routine

Apart from getting cock blocked for 3 different machines, feeling stronger than I did my 1st week back at the gym. I'm not used to having to wait for machines. At my old gym me & crazy cardio lady were the only ones there between 315am & 415am. The new gym has a bunch of crazy early morning gymmers

It's a Chemical Brothers/Goldfrapp/Royskopp kind of morning

Where was that damn Exorcist hiding?

I hate cardio. I'd much rather move heavy things but i promised myself i would do a cardio day every week when I got back from my holiday. So here we are. Broke the 4km treadmill barrier. And once I'm really back in the groove I'll bump the time to an hour from 45 minutes.

That'll do

Pride look complete

Monday Ralph: I feel quite good after the gym today. Maybe I should stop in on the way home and do 20 minutes of cardio

Ralph’s quads from 2 weeks ago: Remember we talked quite loudly about pushing ourself too hard?
November 24, 2025 at 3:49 AM
Starting to get back into the swing of the gym. I'm starting to remember where all the machines are in my new, very large, gym. And the body is starting to remember it can do this.

Popped into Fair Day briefly yesterday but I was feeling a bit socialed out

Things it only took Ralph 58 years to learn...

... A brand new white shirt and eating is a recipe for disaster. Thank God for gym clothes

Why yes I *am* a Farquad

Am I cynical? Or just right?

Me to a mate about working for government just now

Still taking it easy and working my way back to 5 days a week. An all dumbbell upper body workout by the dumbie
