Maybe it’s time for a week off mate, it does wonders sometimes, all of those niggling little aches disappear and your body recovers.

Yea, you’re definitely right. I might just start back fresh next Wednesday. My right hand / forearm has been bothering me, along with a tendon in left shoulder, right knee, and low back. I sound like a geriatric patient :joy: But, like you said, these are just small aches and not true injuries. I just need to take some time off. Thanks for the advice.

Hey man, gotta get big somehow!

By the way have you heard about that strawberry thing going on in Australia and New Zealand? I read on the news that people were finding needles in them.

Yes, you can’t buy strawberries at the moment. Farmers have had to destroy crops. It’s ridiculous really. All because of some idiot putting a needle in one

Damn, that sucks. It’s sad when a single dumbass ruins the livelihood of thousands of people (at least for a while). It’s like the case in America where razor blades were found welded to kids slides in multiple parks. There are some pretty horrible people out there

Happy cake day mate, we like to be ahead of the game here in oz :+1:
Duke must have been up extra early being in Western Australia and being a little behind in time, or are you all still partying over there due to the Weagles winning the granny?
