Ahh I know dehydration a bit too well :) I've found that drinking too much too soon will cause me to just pee it all out so instead I'll fill a bottle and sip regularly for the rest of the evening, refilling as needed. When it's really bad it'll take 30 mins to an hour of this for the nausea to go away. > And my habit in France had been to do a full set of stretches morning and > evening, which I didn't do yesterday, so I was woken in the night by severe > leg cramps, which forced me to do the stretches at about 1:30 am. Yes when you're exercising every day the stretches become essential, especially at the end of each session so you did well on your trip. Stretches are best when the muscles are warmed up - I do mine as soon as I get in from my workouts. It sounds like a bit of recovery is in order so I think you might now have an excuse to sit on the couch and watch the Commonwealth Games. And I'm sure that beer probably contains plenty of electrolytes to help those cramping muscles. Maybe add some sodium from a couple of packets of crisps too :D Cheers, Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: PESO: Strange object in the countryside...
The shelter seems to have been there for a good long time: http://theclaydons.org.uk/the-history/photographs-of-botolph-and-east-claydon A bit of googlage tells me it's called the Mushroom Seat, in a village whose bell-tower is called The Mushroom, and whose pub is called the Mushroom Club. It makes me wonder which is the local psychotropic drug of choice. B On 22 Jul 2014, at 06:29, "Chris Mitchell" wrote: >> That has to be the oddest bus stop I've seen.

Would those be these? (courtesy of Google): "And this also," said Marlow suddenly, "has been one of the dark places of the earth." (referring to England, before leaving for the Congo).

Re: PESO: Strange object in the countryside...
It isn't very far from London, but one of the villages we passed through looked as though it didn't see many cars from one decade to the next. So who knows - perhaps there is a surviving band of Catuvellauni building these things around the trees they worship. Don't forget Marlow's first words in Heart of Darkness.

Quoting Chris Mitchell : ...and the thatched bus stop shelter is pretty interesting too: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t62pdzysjuvvj16/DSCF7236.jpg BobW and I went cycling around bits of Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire yesterday and came across this work of art. Pentax 24mm F2.8 on Fuji X-E1 Bob was looking remarkably relaxed after his epic journey across France. From his response, it sounds as if Bob should have caught the bus home... That has to be the oddest bus stop I've seen. Is the tree heritage listed or something? Your opinions on the X-E1? If Pentax doesn't come up with something similar this year I think that's one I'll be looking at seriously, along with the Olympus E-M5. -- Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: PESO: Strange object in the countryside...
That's a very nice shot. It was a really enjoyable ride, and a masterclass in puncture repair. Despite my relaxed look and my experiences in France, and despite me poopooing the 9-10 miles each way between Marylebone and home, I underestimated the ride. I didn't drink enough while we were out, so by the time i got home i was quite dehydrated, and drank 1.5 litres of milk, 1 litre of chocolate milk, half a litre of gazpacho, and ate 3 oranges before I felt right. And my habit in France had been to do a full set of stretches morning and evening, which I didn't do yesterday, so I was woken in the night by severe leg cramps, which forced me to do the stretches at about 1:30 am. Hope you're in good form this morning.
