Weights for no man

It is Christmas - almost. I have done no training for months, I am as fat as a Lord Emsworth's pig and I have been on the sauce constantly for at least a month without notable exception.
Still, it is Christmas and I am not out until 1.00pm today !

Gym Membership

I didn't get to train yesterday due to a combination of putting a conference call with Chicago together, revising a bid to a deadline, unexpected NNB duties, and a social engagement to watch Newcastle play Arsenal in the pub with The Profit Burglar, though I've been this morning in case my plan to swim while Ben has his lesson this afternoon goes awry.
