So what have you done today..?

  1. My son has a few pairs, they have the smallest heal to toe drop of 5mm ( usually around 11mm) and are supposed to be good your knees, looking at getting a pair myself, not many shops to get them from but there is one in Covent garden. Priced around £160

  2. Interesting, and maybe your son is a runner ? They are very lightweight, especially considering how bulky they look. Seems to be the latest technology for running - I will be walking in them. !!

    hey just happened to be in the local sportshshop window. Always reckon it best to try footwear on - these are a bit narrower than the Asics.
     
  3. Cheaper online, just bought the daughter a pair for her birthday.

  4. Son plays a lot of tennis and as developed inflammation on both knees and has trouble kneeling down at work, from a bit of research he's found these trainers help take pressure of the knee due to the lower heal to toe drop,

    Agree a bit narrower and very comfy, I wear sketchers (as anyone over 50 does now :grinning: ) which have gone over to a bulking looking sole the past year or so, I've been wearing my sons trainers the odd hour or so to compare them both, i like your colour as not to flashy compared to some of there other colours,

  5. Interesting comments about your son.

    Exactly about the colour - not too flash. Called "Skyflow" according to the box.

    Also thought Sketchers were going to be the obvious choice - but walked past these in the shop widow a few times and though - I will have them, park the Sketchers for now !:D

  7. Another day walking around Tokyo.
    First the The National Museum of Tokyo. Then off to the Tokyo Skytree to take in just how vast is the city.

  13. I'm going to BBQ some chicken for dinner, then wash the car, ready for next week, once the sun moves round the house.
     
  14. BBQ’ing I understand, washing the car however is an entirely different matter, sod that :D Andy

  15. Picked it up at 11am. It was heavy as fuck and I needed help to get it in the car.

    When I got back I had to unload it by myself as Doris was at hers last night. Got the box in the house then opened it up to get all the components up stairs by myself.

    The instructions said it was a two man build but I thought I'd have a go myself. It was a little unwieldy to put together but I finally managed it in 3 hours and I have to say it looks OK. It's also made more space available in the Study as it's not as deep as my old desk.

    I then managed to get the old desk down the stairs by myself and into the garage ready for collection by the British Heart Foundation on Thursday hopefully.

    I'm fucked now........but hey Doris is coming over in a bit. Too little too late!

  18. Took my 1965 160 Monza Junior for a ride today. For a 60 year old bike, it goes really well - although not quickly.
