The world is a bit weird at the moment isn't it?

I can feel it, I could be wrong, but I sense it.

Things going on in other countries, things going on in ours.

I think for a lot of people they were absolutely buzzing to have freedom - now we have it in the UK were a bit like "is this it?"

I think a lot of people bottled up how they were feeling and just expected when we could go into a pub without a booking we'd be back.

There's uncertainty, variants, vaccines, booster jabs, cases, deaths, lockdowns. We're out far enough that we should be feeling so much better.

But we're still with one foot in, not sure if it's going to drag us back in at any point.

We look around at what we have and think we should be so much happier about it.

But this pandemic, it's still lingering and shafting our emotions.

Where was Summer, has it been? Is it coming? 😂

How long will it be until you can take a spontaneous trip again?

How old will we be when that happens?

It's 4 months until 2022.

Last minute it was 2020.

It feels like we're being stripped of prime years, right?

It's hard to really care about what we should be.

How do I know, because I feel the same 😂

It's difficult right now to stay on course, there's a general sense of

"for what?"

"what's the point?"

A general sense of Nihilism (GREAAAT WORD JAMES😂)

(- a viewpoint that traditional values and beliefs are unfounded and that existence is senseless and useless)

BUT, with all that in mind.

We must keep moving forward.

We must keep inching the best we can.

The inches you need to claw for progress, they can be whatever you like.

YOU CAN DECIDE WHERE THE METRIC LIES.

For me, right now, when I train jiu jitsu, they give you a laminated plastic card. When you train, they mark an 'x' on the date.

That's all I'm working for right now, a little x in felt tip.

My diet isn't great, because I have no holidays booked or chances to go away for months.

My training isn't that great, because I'm not eating that well enough to support it.

But all I need to do, is put myself in the right place at the right time and get that f*cking tick in a box.

I walk out of training, even the sessions I wasn't that keen for and I know I am one inch, one cross closer to where I want to be from where I was before.

I have a feeling a lot of you reading this are looking for motivation, for me to say something grand and amazing to get you to jump up and say "YEAH LETS GO"

But I'd rather be real with you and say look, let's just focus on progressing even the smallest amount.

You hit a workout tomorrow, you're one workout more experienced.

Big results come from an accumulation of very small simple ones.

You just need to put yourself in the right place at the right time and turn up.

Turning up is enough for me, it will be enough for you.

Do you have a training plan you're following?

Do you have a goal in mind?

Do you have something to work forwards to every day?

IF NOT. THEN FIND SOMETHING TO WORK TOWARDS.

Apologies for the long message, but I think James Smith - the PT has kind of summed up my feelings here.

There's not a lot I can say other than she's in the right place. Someone I knew was seriously ill with it right at the beginning, it took them nearly a year to get fully back... but they have.

Keep the faith, and thoughts with you.

My wife has pneumonia in left lung. They said her oxygen is goijg in right direction as gone from 5L to 2L whatever that means.

She is on anti biotics for the pneumonia. I don't know if you guys know of any people who recovered from pneumonia?

I am not in a good place right now. Although I asked the nurse how worried should I be and she said I wouldn't be. She is comfortable and not relying on oxygen much and she has seen antibiotics beat pneumonia majority of time.

My mate had it twice and ended up in hospital with covid too.

I know these machines can work and I know I need to be positive but I can't take more bad phone calls. Feel like my body I shutting down

Yes he was on a cpap machine for 4 days , after that his breathing and oxygen levels Improved and was moved onto a normal oxygen mask .

He was only allowed home after he could breath for 24 hours on his own without a mask

This is awful mate, thoughts are with you. I know it's hard but try and stay positive, I actually know someone who had and recovered from pneumonia recently for what its worth. Took a while, but they are fully recovered.

I saw the tweet from his twin sister about it the other day.

I saw this tweet from another person, a vaccine sceptic who had been hospitalised and was deteriorating. I keep looking in and there has been no update which doesn't bode well:

I genuinely feared the worse for this bloke, hadn't tweeted anything so guessed he was in a bad way.

But, lo and behold
