On the stereo today- A mix. Right now, Euro Zero Zero- Massive Attack. One of my favourite authors is Kurt Vonnegut, and he tells this story about his (real life) uncle in one of his books, who, when the sun was shining and he was with his family and nothing was bothering him, he’d say … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Nothing! Everyone is at home for the Easter so I don’t get to pick my music. So I had an enforced break the week before last, and then it wasn’t exactly straight back in the saddle as I had to wait until Wednesday to be sure. This was unfortunate because it … Continue reading

On the stereo today- Charlie Parker. Oh man. Oh man. I am hungover. I don’t drink to excess, and I can count on the fingers of one hand the amount of times I’ve had a hangover in the last decade, but I think this one finally moves it onto the other hand. Met an old … Continue reading
On the stereo today- REM- Monster. Underrated in my humble opinion. Bang and Blame is a great tune. I trained actual Jiu Jitsu for the first time in 7 or 8 weeks last week. Actual, real Jiu Jitsu. I was ecstatic. Monday First I did some strength work in the morning (BFRs on) Monday night, … Continue reading

On the stereo today- Led Zeppelin IV Monday Regular (sort of) training. 3km run All pressing motions are aggravating my injury, so I’ve to figure out upper body training each day depending on how I feel. Today’s main movement was the incline cable front raise. Of course it was. Off you go to Google it … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Ágaetis byrjun- Sigur Rós A short update on my injury first. I’m making really good progress and I got the all clear to start some relatively normal gym work this week. I’m able to coach injury and pain free which is obviously very important to me, and normal service is resuming. … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Either/Or- Elliott Smith I can’t wait to get back on the mats and start training again. but it might be another few weeks off yet. I’ll know more later when I go to the physio. Fingers crossed. In the meantime, I can work my legs, and I can put some more … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Complete shuffle. Could not think of an album that matched my mood. No training last week. I took a holiday and travelled to Edinburgh, which, let me tell you, is pretty hilly, so it really should count as training. Great spot though. I also went to London for the IBJJF event … Continue reading
