Fully vaccinated here we go

Mine's on Saturday morning and the wife's is on Tuesday. COVID come at us!!!*

Have no idea where my nearest rowing club is, but it's not something I've looked into or am particularly interested in to be honest. I bought the concept 2 to keep fit over the off season as I don't really have any races to train for in running and the rest of the rugby season has been cancelled here.

The wife and I enjoyed Criminal on Netflix. They have a UK French and German one if I remember correctly. The UK one was quite good.

Also just watched the first episode of Squid Game, seems alright if you are into a no brainer type show.

What's with the red Australian flag?

ElementFreak

Between a 4-5. Aim for 115 drag factor for the easy pieces and 125-130 for the short intervals. Aiming for a 20 stroke rate on easy stuff and 26-28 for the intervals.

Really loving having a rower at my place now, been doing 1500m warm up and cool down and then a session in the middle. Been a fun little time. 17th -5km @2:04 HR was a little high so have slowed down a bit. 18th 2 x 10 min/2 rest - 2:04 1st interval, 2:01 2nd interval. 19th 20 minutes @ 2:07 20th 5....

The suit is very sharp. As an ATG in his sport he's entitled to a few lapses in taste. Plus he often gets paid to wear the stuff he does. Yeah - he needs the cash... He likes being on the cutting edge in fashion. It mostly looks shit to me. But that’s what he’s into. Shit, expensive fashion and shi...

Keto flu f**king sucks. But once you're past that it's all good. Chicken stock as a hot drink helps me a lot through that part of it. I love it. But I'm quite a carnivore and will happily eat mostly meat all week. I started it late January and I've lost 30kg this year. Oh yeah, I love it as well, j...

I'm over it. Anyone who isn't vaccinated, or have started the process, by this point should be locked out of Medicare and the entire public health system until they do. Anyone dying from Covid these days only has themselves to blame, and they shouldn't be clogging up healthcare system as a result o...

How are people feeling sick and still walking around not getting tested for a week?! Some people have mouths to feed and have multiple casual jobs that require them to go out of the house. I don't condone that behaviour but it's easy for me when I've had the benefit of working remotely since the pa...

FFS, not even hiding the fact they have lost control of this.

Isn't today day 12 or 13 from the engagement party? Would expect a spike today or tomorrow from memory.

Especially as she is looking at some easing this week.

Everything open for everyone now it seems. Book in, get a menu of a jab and then boom get jabbed.

Bet they weren't wearing masks as well, because apparently God can't hear prayers through masks.

ElementFreak

71 cases today, 22 under investigation.

I had to give up because of injuries and took up refereeing. I found that I enjoyed it more than playing as I was able to do it at a higher level than I ever would have reached. If you want to stay involved maybe that could be a route you could look into?

In other news, Dan Andrews said in his presser this morning, that declaring hard lockdowns, and any amount of contact tracing don't suppress delta covid. The only thing that will is compliance by the population Would that be compliance with the restrictions mandated, rather than non-compliance with...

Nah, he can't be Premier, thankfully

Thought he was the deputy premier? Happy to be wrong about that. Is it because he's a Nationals MP?

Yeah, but there were many 'down' days in Victoria last year during our second wave as the cases continued to grow.
