Friday night went to see The last king of scotland. Forest Whittaker is very good as despot Idi Amin - frightening. Late when we came out but glad to have seen it. Saturday we read the papers and Ed Brown and Pip (and baby) were down looking at houses. Showed them round ours whilst sending about a thousand text messages to Jon to find out if it was worth going out. He was headed for Curbar and the text I got suggested that he had walked past curbar and ended up at Froggat, where it was 50% dry. Would have loved to have gone out, but it sounded dicey, and with limited time and new problems to do at the works I figured I would head down there and get some training done. Comp problems at the works are very good. Entertaining, and technical. Two in particular worth trying are a blue thing with massive holds on the barrel that looks like it should be straightforward but is sapping, and a crimpy pink thing on the same bit of wall. Apparently the volumes only madness off to the far right had a £100 bounty on it! Dave Barrans succeeded on the night. Jumping for a small edge seems to have been whats caused right hand cod finger. Didnt go dramatically, or suddenly start feeling really bad or anything, just started being a bit stiff and hurty. Taped it and carried on and it felt ok to be honest, but its sore today.
Saturday night went to Leeds for dinner with Sister and parents. Was a lovely evening in a nice restaurant. Rubbish train home which took ages.
Sunday we went for a walk to retrieve my car (left at her gym near town), had a coffee and did the food shopping. Some house cleaning later we went for a pootle out to Rubicon to assess the state of dryness. Its miles off anything useful! Here is the path :
about three inches deep to get to the bottom of the route rubicon (which is soaked). Carried on round to Kudos wall and found this :
So thats fully useless as well. Sigh. Never mind. River is really fast flowing at the moment :

Excellent report as usual from the Mortonator... Although bummer about yet another bout of codfinger. Hopefully it aint as bad as you think (provided you actually rest for a day or so!). At least Rubicon is turdy at the mo, so you arent missing out there.
I am suffering from Codtummy after eating all the processed shite that my mum had bought but wont eat as she had given them up for "lent". Hmmm. So with a belly full of chocolate cake, after eights and other lardy goods, I bid you good night (burp). Off to the Foundry tomorrow night, although its going to be a struggle to lift aforementioned gut off the deck. In brum tuesday and wednesday so fingerboarding thursday, resting friday and Wales saturday - although this might now be in jeopardy (more reason to rest your finger Ben).
James, how was the "steak"? Actually scracth that. I dont need the details.
