Another great session at the BQSG seminar. @joethequilter took us through his Quilting Life. Lots of inspiration for the future. Thanks to @thequiltersguild and #qgbibqsg
Excellent talk from Helen of the @bradfordtextiles to the British Quilt Study Group seminar. We’ll be visiting the archive for a study day in the Spring. #quiltersguildbqsg @thequiltersguild #britishquiltstudygroup
An excellent morning diving into the Quilters Guild Collection to look at three of their Canadian Red Cross quilts. Each with a story to tell, we know a little but it would be lovely to know more. @thequiltersguild #batextilespractice @bradfordtext
A planned visit to @whitechapelgallery to see the exhibition Peter Kennard: Archive of Dissent was turned into a lesson from the master! @peterkennardx was there to speak with a small group of students, but he gamely took on the much larger crowd who

phew what a scorcher!

For family logistic reasons I went to the gym today, rather than a run.

This was a good decision given the temperature outside!

It was very muggy this morning but is now just simply HOT!

So to the gym for some core strength, CV and stretching

What: 10 minutes XC > stretch > 1 km rower > core strength stuff > 1 km rower > 10 minutes tready > stretch
Time: just an hour
AHR over whole session : 118 56%


left leg felt fine - so no excuse not to run now

strangely I drove mrbeanz's car later this morning and could feel twinges in my hammy - somehting to do with relative position of seat and clutch. I don't get this in my car. Maybe have to stick to my big noisy MPV

this is the plan for the week

Sunday : W5:R30:W5
Monday : swim + phyzz
Tuesday : rest day - in York
Wednesday : club run - 50 minutes???? not sure about this - would dearly love to do it but is it a bit soon to do that after 2 weeks off running?
Thursday : gym - strength + CV rower
Friday : W5:R35:W5
Saturday : rest day
Sunday : W5:R35:W5

Oh what a beautiful morning!
