Sorry! couldn’t resist after the other day’s confusion.[/quote]

OK Ill admit, after that comment i did shake my head and say “what?”, figured it was my age…lol

Sounds like your still killing it. Glad your taking time for a “nice” walk- wink

Sounds like fun!

I’ve heard of nude beaches in Europe . . . is this one?

If it is a naturist site, take care barbecuing your sausages!

Yes this is certainly one of them,on this coast (biscay) just this beach stretches over 200km from cap ferret (entrance to the gironde) almost down to the spanish border near cap breton.

Although not all of that is officialy naturist a lot of sections are and the whole west coast is very relaxed about clothing.

Nope—back to grey,cold and wet uk this morning.

Pulled in to the ferry port after a roly-poly channel (english channel !!!) crossing and the first sight of home made me want to chuck myself off the ferry and start swimming back towards france.

Great weather down in the south-west of france and lousy over brittany and uk, and yes it’s typical of a brit to moan about the weather !!.

So, sorting out the camping kit and getting clothes washed etc etc but just been down to the gym, very slow and lethargic --probably due to 2 nights poor sleep.
Nothing great to report except that for some reason i lost count of sets during a lats/push up pair and did about 8 sets each–so around 80 press ups and around 60 lat pullls.

As to the trip–had a bit of a revelatory moment with a (naked) german lesbian !!!..

Well then, if you have been following the last couple of weeks you will know that i have been on holiday (ok then cav–vacation) on a naturist site in south western france, also there has been a little confusion on the bn site regarding…er gender issues shall we say, not to forger sunburnt wilies !!!.

Welcome back, Nurse, sunburn and all!

Oh,
The “partner” thing.
Frankly, I don’t know what to call my significant other, as well, we’re way past “girl friend”.
Partner, I kinda like it. Though here there is some gender associations here that may confuse some.

Still don’t get where the German lady fits in? But I am rather DIM about these things…

Mmm, it’s difficult : we aren’t married so sometimes i call (her) my “unwife” and her parents “the outlaws”, girlfriend doesn’t really fit–ok if i was 23 or even 33 but sounds too young and kind of temporary.
Partner has caused confusion and still does as it gets used in the gay community quite a bit.

Anyway and back to the story : so i was being hugged by a naked german lesbian (her partner didn’t seem to mind and she hugged my partner as well which was probably more fun for her anyway).

Have to say that having new experiences in my fifties is usually ‘interesting’.

Oh and she is a german pe teacher by the way so quite fit.

Anway…

Thoroughly itching and peeling from the last few days of sun.

Cheers cav, you were sounding a bit fed-up (no sleep) i know what that feels like and although as far as i know still with job that might all change soon.
Just having a quick catch-up with the boys-n-girls threads to see who has been pushing/pulling what insane loads while i have been away.

Congrats on hugging a nude lesbian. One to tick off your “bucket list”.

The people who are buying our house are a lesbian couple, but you wouldn’t wan’t to see them in a video, if you know what I mean. They are both quite masculine, they actually make me feel effeminite.

I call my female partner of 21 years (as of yesterday) my wife even though we are not married, for the simple reason that it is easier. No one’s ever asked to see a marriage certificate! We also coincidentally share the same surname which is convenient.

Very disappointed this morning : weighed in after 3 weeks away excepting a bump drop down on the back of all the exercise and careful diet.

The weird thing is that i think i have lost more fat especially from the belly fat folds–even a hint of definition creeping in at the sides !.

Hoping it’s mainly water retention ,have to wait and see.

Bak to the s**t hole tonight.

You may have found the “holy grail” lost fat and gained muscle…

When I started (pre-T-Nation), I both dropped weight and improved body comp, even though I did so many things in correctly.
You’re program is far better then any I have attempted.

I get the best feed back from my partner, especially the non-verbal feedback…

Just wondering whether i have in fact done just that because i have just been into town with my partner (ok–coffee and cake treat !) and by chance went to try o get some new work trousers–and easily slipped into a 34" where i was expecting still to be a 36" (i was in a 42" at least this time last year).

Perhaps i am in that stage where outright weight isn’t that helpfull.

Also…next post
