After a brief sojourn....

Didn't get much activity in whilst in Wales. A couple of minor bike rides, one of which was ended a bit prematurely by my eldest having a spectacular accident, and one session of kung fu practice in the grass in a meadow on the farm.

(Looked something like this, but replace the crane/heron/whatever it is with a goose and it's a bit closer).

So training Monday night felt like the first for ages, and was pretty tiring, especially the "station" pad work during kick-boxing. Luckily lots of siu lim tao during the kung fu, which doesn't have to be too energetic.

T was enthusing about the kick-boxing after the class and showing me some of the stuff from higher up the syllabus which looks fairly impressive in a full-throttle kind of way. Also we revised some of the char chuan which I hadn't quite got solid yet.

For some reason I didn't wear my gloves last night, and this morning both hands hurt with swollen knuckles....stupid, stupid, stupid.
