Weekly post: What did you do?

My apologies for missing this last week. I'd had some minor surgery (which is why I won't be contributing this week, bleh).

So, what did you do?

I'm trying to get back into consistent strength training, after several weeks being tour guide to London for visiting friends (which led to the joys of swimming in the Serpentine Lido, but not much in the way of lifting heavy things).

I acquired a pair of bright blue 12kg kettlebells as a present to myself, and have just started trying to domesticate them.

(I did have to ditch one during a Turkish get-up, and went downstairs to find that the impact had knocked a lightbulb out of its ceiling fitting. Which I thought was quite impressive.)
