Seemingly trivial things that elicit an emotional response of some kind

[briantrumpet]

We haven't seen @BoldonLad on here for a while, and he's usually a frequent contributor. Hope things are fine and he's just taking a bit of time out.

I suspect/hope it's just a fortnight's holiday, sensibly taken (for a retired person) after schools have gone back, and sensibly, staying off social media. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I think it has been longer than a fortnight. I also hope he's just decided to take a break from here and all is well with him and his family.

18th August was his last post here.
28th August in the other place.

But he was last seen here on 18th September.

I messaged him a while ago. I'm sure he won't mind me telling you that he's well but is having a rest from social media due to his wife needing a bit more care these days.

I wondered about that as he has told us before about his wife's condition.

Not a bad idea to stay out of all the political shenanigans on here and concentrate on the important stuff.

Thanks.

Today's event emotion is probably bemusement.

I passed someone when I was out in the sticks on a long run recently who was walking backwards. Sometimes you want to ask why people are doing something out of genuine interest but fear they’ll be offended.

Have you considered that you might have been going backwards in time, and that they were actually walking forwards?

It’s great it used different muscles, awareness, balance etc. Try doing your next long run backwards.

It also looks like you end up with a metal rod up your arse. Not sure if that's a benefit, TBH.

Ffs. It's the equivalent of using the rowing machine to do bicep curls.

That could work. As long as your rowing machine isn't too heavy to lift.

What's the singular of 'biceps'?
