Autumn Tiger Days: still 32C at 7:37pm!
Autumn Tiger is oten a harbinger of fall, as much as a phenomenon of early fall. It sits on the fence so no wonder it’s snarly! It really cooled off later, though with a nice wind nearer Zhuwei!
My Amazfit returns from the banished cupboard
I was thinking about buying another one… but then I remember I used this as a step counter. It was effective for a while… but not very accurate. It seems it’s quite powerful… I’ll add some screenshots from my ipad. I was quite impressed. Unfortunately, this is the only good exercise news I have to…
Regimen Change
I’m adding a few tweaks to my 80kg plan to help me get there. No major prizes for guessing what they are. None of these is particularly new: I’ve done them all at separate times but this is the first time I’m attempting to do all of them together with the rest of what I’m…
Does Gaelic predate the Vikings? Not in Scotland
Norse influence definitely predated Scots Gaelic. Moreover, the Kingdom of Dal Riata doesn’t seem to have overlapped significantly with early Viking settlements in the Isles, North and East.

Week 10: 84.1kgs – taking a break
So I finished week 10 at 84.1kgs. At day 71, I recorded 84.1kgs as my finishing weight, I’m tired right now. My body’s beginning to show that. So early to bed to catch up on sleep. So my diet holiday is real! During the down time, I will go back to maintenance diet/habits. So what…
Week 5: 85.0 kgs
Well, tantalizingly close is the 84.* mark. I just can’t seem to get there at the moment. The incessant rain over the past three days precluded any exercise and incited a bout of laziness that didn’t abate last night, even when the rain went off. On the plus side, limiting eating hours is quite beneficial,…
Week 3: 85.2kgs
This week has been a tough week. But somehow I managed to exceed my weekly goal: I have now reached 85.2kgs. I’m now setting my goal on reaching a number under 81.0. That will be 6.5kgs lost. I will probably want to stabilize my weight loss around 80kgs for a period before I try to…
Life in the Ring of Fire
If anything, it isn’t uneventful. 80+ earthquake aftershocks since 230am. This morning, not yesterday! So there have been hundreds of aftershocks since yesterday’s Big One. There were also some larger preshocks, too. All day yesterday there were rolling quakes, low in intensity but palpable. They created the feeling of being at sea or on water….
