Before mobile phones became main stream and affordable we all had to rely on public phone boxes, these are actually from way before my time. When I was young they had already evolved into all glass boxes with a British Telecom bugler stencilled on the side. 

Because they are iconic and associated with London they are still in situ on popular tourist places in London, these two are in a poor state of repair with faded paint and stickers plastered all over them. But they tell their own story and the fact they are still there after I guess 70 years of abuse is a testament to their design. 

If you’re are looking for a phone box in top condition for a photo opportunity then Covent Garden is probably the bes,t it’s out in the open with lots of light and its well maintained. 

If you’re a Dr Who fan the Earls Court should be your stop for the only accessible police call box the other being in Hendon police collage.

Rest

  I’ve been having a bit of knee trouble all day so I’m not going to push it today. Just a quick walk to get done we wards and then see where I am tomorrow. Hopefully I can go for a golf ball hunt although looking at the skies I don’t think there will be many people playing golf ⛳️  Have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ

Back to the gym Tri’s

Image
  It’s a return to the gym today and cross trainer to start with intervals on level 13. My knee was a little swollen on the left bu I pushed through. Not the best pace today 1.48km in 30 mins.  It was on to Tri’s and the tri press machine to start, starting high at 50kg going up to 55kg. A bit over confident early.  On to the cable station and my usual cable was fixed today so it was pull downs with a bar first. A low weight but slow pace starting with 16.5kg working up to 23kg.  Over head pulls next with a rope starting a bit higher at 20kg going up to 28kg.  Rope pull downs next and starting with 16.5kg nice and slow going on to 20kg  It was French press next and starting with 17.5kg nice slow presses and dropping down to 15kg and failure.  It was a good work out, I’ve got a long way to go to get back to where I was but I must stay focused and make the gym a habit.  Have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ

Old Jamaica Ginger Beer

Image
  No when I was 11-12 Sunday afternoons were about getting out for a cycle with my dad. We would cycle up to Burnham Beeches and have a soft drink from the Spa shop in Farnham Common. I would have a Coke-Cola but he would have an Old Jamaica Ginger beer.  So when I saw it in the local shop I thought I’d give it a go. I wasn’t a fan back then it was not appealing to my sweet tooth. Now it doesn’t seem as strong and I think it might grow on me. I’m not running out to buy another one but I might try a different brand to see how they go. Give it a try it's a unique soft drink!  ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Have fun stay safe πŸ‘
