    how bad is it out there?! I have a work thingy tonight but if it's madness at home I might have to leave early to make sure I'm not stranded :(

    There were power outages in Sandyford, Monkstown and Dalkey, anything in Dun L?

    Power cuts was a different thing.
    Lot of wicklow was out too.

    It was a whiteout this morning and The good lady nearly came off the road coming over avondale road in Glenageary. It was really heavy at the time, bout 15min ago.
    Apparently the Glenageary road is almost impassible.

    Which means Wyattville will be a nightmare and Laughlinstown Gym will probably be closed or some silly crap....Its too late in the day to expect any thaw by the time I get home.

    cmyk posted a pic over in Weather of DL town. Looked heavy.

    Darts will run....

    Sorry, I'm not sure if this is the right place but was wondering if people could off an opinion on this plan, and will it see results quickly? I'm a disciplined person who has been doing aerobic excercise regularly for yonks but decided to try to increase flexibility, core strength and build a little muscle.

    Basically my weights are:

    Low row 3 X 15 @ 40 KG
    Chest Press 3 X 15 @ 30
    Lat Pull down 3 X 15 @ 35 KG
    Shoulder Press 3 X 15 @ 25 KG

    Core excercise:

    Side plank 2 & 3; front plank and press up hold for 40 seconds

    I have plenty of flexibility stretches I'm happy with. I'm 6'1 and about 11.5 stone. I'm suppose I'm not lifting the heaviest weights but I'm not too embarrassed by this at all or intimidated in the gym so I'll keep at it till I can move on up. I've taken to doing my core stuff along with 15 press ups, 20 tricep dips and 20 bicep curls each morning and evening.

    Any ideas or pointers? Am I on a good track? I have a pretty brilliant diet, plenty of fruit, veg and food with natural ingrediants.

    They really need to make a galaxy truffle bar.

    Brought in marble cake and celebrations after my class tonight (how nice of me), but I had pre stole all the galazy truffle sweets.

    One of the lovely auld ones asks where all the truffles are. All gone. Total eclipse.

    Christmas is a time to be jolly.
    Training doesn't make you jolly with the same consistency as Beer.
