20 squats 🐝

(By Len yan) Went out to town today. Browsed through one of my favourite local book shops collecting a pile of books i wanted, then was good and put most of them back. Really want to read the wren in the library, but either need to buy it on kindle or wait until it comes out as a soft back. When did hardbacks get so expensive??! These are what i treated myself to. The moonlight market and masters of death are ones i havent encountered before, but sound really good. Also Could not resist a paper copy of bespelled. Been wanting to read it basically since i finished book 1.  Going to save it for the end of the challenge as a reward though.   had a facepalm moment today. got home to find id been charged for something i thought id cancelled (or possibly overlooked cancelling). Incredibly frustrating. Makes me feel stupid for not realising. And of course they do not give refunds.  sometimes i feel like im still paying for past me’s mistakes. Both figuratively and literally.    started the weekly in my bujo. Drawing succulents right now in the margins. Much trickier than they look but fun. Page is going to be very green        

had to accept i had a cold and not do dares for a few.  Going to try to catch up   squats 🐝  wall sit 🐝  ugh up/down dog 🐝 jump squats 🐝 

I have a 28lt day pack i use in the winter and when travelling. I love, its amazing. But its just too big when i dont need to take a load of layers with me.     Yeah, i am going to go a couple more times, just so i can say i gave it a good whack. But unless the one i went to was just unusually shambolic it is not what i am looking for. 

I have a feeling you can watch it over the internet. Think thats how i did it last year 

Challenge Day 19: Friday, July 5th   Nutrition Weight: Steady at 95.8kg. My mind is trying to tell me this is bad because it's tasted the 93-94 range, but I remind myself it's fluctuations and what matters is I'm still lower than my starting point of 100kg. Weight that was lost remains lost and I'm still going down in the long run. Fasting: 16,5 hours apparently. Lately I've been feeling hungry in the mornings, or super full long term after them pork leg meals, so I was a little afraid the fasting habit would go down the drain, but it seems I've stuck with it. Tracking: Had an overpriced chicken nugget sandwich for lunch, then treated myself to some fancy ice cream. After work I met a friend I usually struggle to meet (our cycle is every 6 months, more or less) and we had drinks. I went a bit hard on the crisps, but it all had me pretty full and I skipped proper dinner, which apparently has me at some 1.600 calories for the day. Walked over 9.500 steps and drank 9 glasses (2,25L) of water, on top of the coffees and drinks.   Walking 8.1 for the day, bringing me to the second campsite since Frodo got stabbed on Weathertop.   Sleep I went to bed pretty early for my habits, about midnight. Woke up the next morning and promptly fell asleep again, nearly missing my barber appointment. 9 hours of sleep total.   Non-tracked things: Did a single lesson right before midning to keep that Duolingo streak alive. Listened to the album of the day, but because it's Tommy by the Who, I needed more time to process it and write proper commentary. Between that and work pressure, I just left it for Saturday.

It is yes xx

Fire Aviation Friday More Drones     My apologies, I'm still slammed for time, so back to Google's AI summaries for Fire Aviation Friday. I am keeping up with my fitness and decluttering goals and should be able to catch up this weekend.    Wildfire Aviation Drone Use Wildfires are a growing concern worldwide, and the use of aviation drones has become a crucial tool in firefighting efforts. These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are equipped with various sensors and cameras, allowing them to gather critical information about the fire’s size, location, and behavior.   Types of Drones Used in Wildfire Management Fixed-wing drones: These drones are designed for long-range missions and can stay aloft for several hours. They are equipped with sensors such as electro-optical (EO) and mid-wave infrared (MWIR) cameras, which provide high-resolution images of the fire. Rotorcraft drones: These drones are better suited for close-range missions and are often used in urban areas. They are equipped with high-quality infrared (IR) cameras, which help firefighters detect hotspots and track the fire’s spread. Micro drones: These small drones are used for reconnaissance and can be deployed quickly to gather information about the fire’s size and location. Benefits of Drone Use in Wildfire Management Enhanced situational awareness: Drones provide firefighters with real-time information about the fire’s size, location, and behavior, allowing them to make more informed decisions. Improved detection and tracking: Drones can detect hotspots and track the fire’s spread, enabling firefighters to respond quickly and effectively. Reduced risk to firefighters: By providing accurate information about the fire’s location and behavior, drones help reduce the risk to firefighters and other personnel. Increased efficiency: Drones can be deployed quickly and easily, reducing the time it takes to gather information and respond to the fire. Challenges and Regulations Regulations: The use of drones in wildfire management is regulated by various authorities, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States. Unauthorized drone flights can pose serious risks to firefighter and public safety. Interference with firefighting operations: Drones must be operated in a way that does not interfere with firefighting operations or aviation activities. Data sharing and integration: Drones generate large amounts of data, which must be shared and integrated with other systems to provide a comprehensive picture of the fire. Conclusion Wildfire aviation drones are a vital tool in firefighting efforts, providing critical information about the fire’s size, location, and behavior. While there are challenges and regulations to consider, the benefits of drone use in wildfire management are clear. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more innovative uses of drones in firefighting efforts.

On the bright side, at least you didn't all have it at the same time...?
