Although it doesn’t effect me, I still attended the unions rally for Birmingham City Council workers. The rally was a protest for workers who have been told they are loosing a fair wedge of their salary. This is supposed to help out the lower paid. Strange that the management positions appear not to have been effected and in a fair few cases it’s increased.

Whilst I doubt it’ll actually achieve anything, at least the current councillors know that a majority of the cities staff hate them. Pictured is Labour group leader Sir Albert Bore, addressing the gathered crowd. Protest passed off without incident. Some other action group started to spout out something about housing, but this fell on mostly deaf ears as many of the council staff returned back to their jobs.

One of those ‘I’ll get round to tasks’ was completed within this last hour.  Since my trip to the flying legends airshow at Duxford my little friend has been with me.  Not always present, but on occasion appearing when I thought he’d gone forever.   My friend in fact is a dead fly.  He first appeared during the Duxford show, then he disappeared for a while.  In the last week he made and appearance.  Whilst not bothering me much I thought I’d better dispose of the micro corpse.

So after finding out the removal of the 5D focus screen wasn’t at all difficult he’s gone.

Taken next to the edge of a SD flash card you can see how small he was.

He has not been forgotten though, captured here for generations to come.  In fact he has been preserved in Sellotape.  The preservation was carefully completed by sticking the tape to a bit of wood.

I feel as it is 01:47 on Sunday morning I really should post to why I’m up at this hour. Frankly I have no reason to be, currently yawning as I type this drivel. Well I could blame Channel 4 for their ’25 years’ celebration program. Which was mildly entertaining. Most for those ‘Christ that was shite’ memories.

Right so fitness campaign. Well it seems to be going well. Not lost any weight as yet, but I do feel better. I think my man tits have slowly decreased as well. Weight seems to have increased, but from what I can gather this is fairly normal as muscle is more dense than fat. Still hoping to continue with going 3 times a week. Though next week should really consider sleeping.

Yoga is still very much part of the regime. Think this has been my 8th week of my initial paid for 10. Enjoying this very much as well. I feel a bit more part of the group now that I’m able to speak to a few more people. Also helps they are a nice and friendly crowd. Plus they don’t mind me falling over every now and then.  I need to work on my groin and ankles in my spare time. The groin seems to fail when standing on one leg (Ardha Chandrasana) and the ankle hurts during leg stretching (Utthita) poses. Still it is all good and I will pay for another 10 lessons (and probably more after).

My current aim is to get slimmer, you know lose the spare tyre. Maybe even build up my muscles a bit. However I think my long term aim is to carry on with Yoga and probably start to go running.
