Bleddy hell, where has the time gone?

Well on our way through 2020 and unless you've been living under a rock or been sailing the oceans (yep, that's happened), you should know that 2020 is being a right ol' shitter.

Things are ok with us at the moment. L is 35 weeks pregnant and the Weedude is starting to get a little isolation crazed but we're all healthy.
I think I'd be underestimating the level of crazy in the world at the moment and then impact on our lives. My mum has been pretty much alone for almost two months now, one of my main Aunties died last week but there will be no 'normal' funeral and the birth of Son number 2 is going to be strange one; at the moment I will be allowed to see the birth but will have to leave not long after that. I'll then next see L and the new arrival once I head back to the hospital to pick them up.

So....just like everyone else, sport has taken quite a back-seat. All triathlons have been cancelled and with gyms all closed for the duration. Add in the fact I can't go surfing and the lakes are all closed, I am feeling a tad 'fat'. I have made myself a 20kg weight bag and have a large concrete post that I can call my home-gym kit but that's only for dry weather. I'm taken up the Fitbit Premium freebee and even though classes aren't my thing, I've actually appreciated some short video sessions to keep me moving. Not forgetting the old balance board for a bit of an in front of the TV wobble.

Apart from general life stuff happening, there's not a lot to be said. All the scary or fun stuff is yet to come.
