Jill you are far too generous. I note quite a few gentlemen have improved scores so far this season. With more to come I'm sure. Still quite a ways from the million this season.

66,410 metres over the last two days. Phew! Hot. Hot. Hot Honours to you.
A Special Mention for Lowell Lemoine and Greg Smith, because with the addition of their BikeErg/SkiErg metres or both, they have now passed One Million Metres For The Season.
Thank you again to all Free Spirits who have been able to find the energy and resolution, to Erg/BikeErg/SkiErg their way through the heat, in order to add their Meltdown Metres to The Team Affiliation Standings.
As you have perhaps realised from some of my comments, I am not a lover of hot weather. In a past life, I was probably something that lived under a rock or in a cave.
This year, it’s not just the discomfort that the heat brings, it’s also unwanted visitors … Sid Slither, the grass snake
and Flaming Frankie the fox.
Sid has been helping himself to the
in our pond - there is definitely something evil and evil looking about snakes and in literature, I cannot think of any who feature as the good guys. The first time that I saw Sid, he was snaking across the pond towards me. Eeew! I have seen him quite a few times now, usually the end of his tail slithering into the undergrowth. I think I know where Sid has his hideout. Roll on October, when he’ll hibernate.
As for Flaming Frankie … Last night I was nicely dozing off, when ... screech/scream coming from under our bedroom window.
My only consolation being that if I was fated to have a heart attack, it should have been then ... but I'm still here.
Richard didn’t hear a thing. Dead to the world.
Plummy, apologies for going off the beaten track.

Congratulations to both of you and I hope that you will be able to keep up the mantra: Have erg, will exercise.
Petr, because you landed exactly on 1,000,000 metres and because you come from Pilsner, you have been awarded your own virtual brewery.
A ‘ triffic ‘ thank you to everyone for your continued support
and to those of you who are still shut out of your local gym,
a heartfelt hope that it will not be for much longer.
It's never easy and at times, impossible, to think of the right words to say but best wishes to those of you, who for various reasons, ( including lockdown lethargy ) are not feeling mentally or physically able at the moment.

Petr, you are most welcome.
For several years now, Thomas has been a very keen cyclist and takes part ( I think ) in road races.
As you are all … gentlemen … then … I know that you will not mind if I congratulate llse Van Oyen first, for becoming our second young lady to reach One Million Metres For The Season.

not the beer variety.

Much applause … for George Weekes … as he ** streaks … past 313 of his fellow Free Spirits, to reach One Million Metres For The Season.

That’s a first rate, first million and a well deserved addition to your now, almost Thirty and a Half Million, Lifetime Metres.
A Special Mention for John Davidson because his BikeErg/SkiErg metres or both, have helped take him to One Million Metres For The Season.
A Special Mention also for Cap’n Jon Taylor as he graduates from the Sorcerer’s Apprentice to the Magician of The Meterboard.
An Extra Special Mention for Captain Stan who after steering us through so many Team Challenges has now been promoted to ( and try saying this after too much grog ) The Admirable, Admiral Stan.
Thank you again everyone for your enormous efforts, in raising so many metres for The Team Affiliation Treasure Chest.
Don’t overdo things though - who remembers the theme tune from Rawhide?
Keep rowing, rowing, rowing … keep those metres flowing … but ... we don’t want you going … Rawhide!
See Ya.

You say, “ Progress stops upon satisfaction. “ If I could claim almost 37,000,000 Lifetime Metres, then I would be more than satisfied. Tremendous going.
Thank you everyone for all your continued effort and support.
Somewhat off topic.
A Very Special Mention for Magawa, a seven year-old African giant pouched rat, who has just received the animal equivalent of the George Cross, the Dickin Gold Medal.
This much deserved award was in recognition of Magawa’s bravery in sniffing out ( so far ) 39 land mines and 28 other items of unexploded ordnance.
I took one look at the dear little creature and thought, “ I’m in love. "
