I managed to turn my sleep schedule back on track, I went to the gym without having a class to go to, and I had fresh strawberries and I have ice cream!

Our ladies be France. Now on to England in semifinals. Wouldn't that be something if we lost to England the week we celebrate our independence?

Eat tea, ungrateful colonials!

I woke up in the middle of the night because my right arm was dangling out of the bed and when my dog saw this he began to rub her head against the palm of my hand for head scratches until I woke up. On the one hand she woke me, on the the other hand I think this is adorable.

Mortgage contract handed over...

My cat will often wake me up by headbutting me in the mouth or on the nose. It's a violently affectionate way of saying "Hello, I desire belly rubs and wish to steal your body heat".

FTFY.

Happy Canada Day, all you lovely people.

The party at my friend's place turned into a 2 day bender of pretty epic proportions. Copies amounts of tequila and spicy honey pepper vodka were consumed. Some

But now I'm home, the weather is lovely and I still have roughly a day and a half to recuperate and deal with the many cuts and bruises I got (there was some branch cutting and attempted tree climbing involved, that went as well as you might expect after a few rounds of shots)

Summer's on and life is great

Damn and my back up bae (Sweden) could be contesting for it if they beat Netherlands tomorrow. What a lucky guy I am if that happens! What are the odds!

The Mongolian Horde, of course

It was AWESOME, btw

Damn, with all the attention our women have been getting dominating the World Cup, our men's team is getting no shine. We are going to play Mexico in the Gold Cup final! Sweeeeet! We beat Jamaica last night, who very recently beat us. This is great for our men's team, who have been trying to rebound from not qualifying for last years World Cup. Any Chelsea fans here? You guys have Christian Pulisic from our men's team now. He's going to get you guys talking.

What an awesome run for our national soccer teams! USA! USA! USA!

Home relatively early.

Weather still gorgeous, ditched the suit (see groove thread for explanation), gonna go bike for a bit, then go for a swim.

Summer, I missed you, :

The new Spider-Man movie was just great - since the character entered the mcu he has become my favorite superhero. The new movie was just so much fun! Also an absolute shocker end credits scene - it kinda pissed me off tbh, but in a good way I suppose. Gah!

[Mentalist]

Day off. Nice and hot. Did 3 clicks in an outdoor pool in hour and 15, from 11:30 to 1. Got a nice improvement to my tan for the effort.

Short week ahead, as I'm of on Friday since we're going camping for my dad's 60th birthday.

Brings warmth to the soul!

It's our Yorkshire Three Peaks walk the day after tomorrow. The weather is looking like it will be kind to us, and I've hit the point today where I am feeling at peace with it, as well as very excited. Whatever happens on the day, I'm genuinely proud of how far I've come in the year since dreaming up the challenge and the hard work I've done to get myself on track and reclaim all the various things I'd managed to lose along the way. Even if I don't finish (... gonna smash it, obviously... ), it doesn't negate all the work or make it any less worth being proud of.

Thank you again to all the folks on here who sponsored our descent into lunacy! We're hovering at just under double the fundraising target, which is incredible.

[worry]

Stay hydrated!

We did the walk! Finished just inside the official challenge time (sub 12 hours), in 11 hours 57 minutes.

Blessed with the weather and the real team effort saw us all through. Currently very sore and stiff but couldn't be more worth it!

Team photo with Ribblehead Viaduct in the background - one peak and the ten miles or so between it and the second one down, starting to look a little tired!
