boydeste Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Been to a work party for one of my syndicate lakes. Spent most of the time balls deep in a lake using a very long scythe to chop off reeds to make room to play fish in the swims. Getting old sucks, home now feeling totally knackered. Going to be sore tomorrow methinks. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I am taking it easy after my day yesterday. Unbelievably, considering I am in Scotland, I managed to get myself totally dehydrated. I had a very busy and rushed morning. The flat I live in has its own laundry room on the ground floor and I have a 2 hour slot from 8:00am on a Wednesday but I had an opticians appointment at 9:50 in Town which is normally less than 10 minutes but more like fifteen now given the state of my knee. I mixed up opticians and went to the wrong one and had to walk partially back and then get a bus to Tecso's about 10 minutes away which had the branch of Vision Express I needed. More walking but more particularly more walking afterwards all uphill to my return bus stop. Checked the timetable on line and discovered I had a 20 minute wait at the bus stop. Just before the bus arrived I started to feel really peculiar, very hot and unsteady and I practically stumbled into the bus by which time it dawned on me that I was dehydrated. The bus driver had a can of lemonade which he was kind enough to give me but I was really no better when I reached my stop. I sat there for maybe 20 minutes when I decided I had to try to walk up the hill to get home. How I did that I have no idea. I know it is true that once you realize you are dehydrated the damage is already done. Copious amounts of water and two hours laying on my bed I felt reasonably back to normal and by 4pm I felt hungry enough to get stuck into the fridge. Thinking back I believe I had a coffee at about 7:00am but nothing afterwards. I did not eat anything either. I have collapsed a couple of times playing golf in Thailand where dehydration is always just round the corner but never in the UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluid intake is important, but so is food, as well as being dehydrated, your blood sugar may have been low too! Glad you are felling better again. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galenkia Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Just renewed my Sky Sports subscription on Now TV for the football season. Got an email earlier offering me 12 months for £19.99 instead of £33.99. Good thing is you can cancel and restart anytime like Netflix etc., not tied to a contract. Got the cricket on now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big problems in Canada with this nowadays - people waiting for weeks or even months; thankfully I've still got a few years left on mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I came back from Thailand renewed my nowtv sports package at £33. After a month I went to cancel it, and was offered the 19.99 a month deal for 6 months.... ideal as after 6 months I'll cancel it again as I'm away for 5 months! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
