Iām awfully sorry for you and anyone else in that situation. I honestly canāt imagine what it would be like.
On the gyms situation, I firmly believe that they do more good than harm. They are predominantly frequented by young, healthy people who, especially now with over a million people vaccinated, are at very little risk from the virus, or doing damage to others with it.
Is it just hearsay to say a good amount of gyms dotted about the Country are generally run by people laundering money?
Iāve heard of a number of them ( privately run now as opposed to franchises tbf ) that have been used as money laundering hubs and that all sorts of goodies could be purchased or sourced there.
Some dose, pain in the hole hopefully you can get in. Done deal and fb marketplace is great to pick up stuff. Iām getting one or two things a month. Got 40kg dbs today. Close to a full set of hex head commercial ones now. Will have some set up when I end up buying my own place
Unfortunately, The glory days of young people going for 5 pints 4 nights a week to meet people are gone The gym is a great place to make friends and partners for many.
Young people also have a big interest in S&C type conditioning largely based off instagram and stuff.
No point in people dissing the different things people miss in lockdown.
Seems like one of those nuanced situations where everything is not black and white and canāt be solved with a sledgehammer. I remember those used to exist alright.
I havenāt cut the lawn yet this year. Iāll give it a gentle topping at the weekend. The Mrs a few years ago told me not to cut it until the start of May to give our bee pals a chance and Iām happy to oblige
