Oh wow the thigh pain is immense - struggling to get up from sitting! Really loved it though, thanks for the all the fun and the chats afterwards! Can't wait for next week, will hopefully have recovered by then!

Lynz, Alice & Soph and everyone else.


Remember the ladies who joined me last year and insisted on doing 3-sets of 20 Reps...., and I repeatedly said that deep squats are sooooooo deceptive. The couldn't walk for days.


I have to say, I haven't done them in a group for a while and even I felt it, but I cycled through it yesterday, and had a run with a swim this lunchtime and all is back to normal.


BTW, I have a French lady who wants to join us so the languages will really start to build up now.


Only one session away from wearing Purple!



Best!

Hi guys,


I will have more of the T-shirts available on Saturday, 2-sessions under your belt and they are FREE issue. But remember, while stocks last :-)



Christmas Do....

The Black Cherry would like to offer their facilities for a Christmas Do :-). Lets talk about this on Saturday and perhaps pencil a date for late Nov before the big rush starts?


Will send out the usual rah rah email tomorrow afternoon :-)


And the legs....... are they all recovered now?



McCabe.

Mel C,


Great to hear from you, and... hope you get better soon!


Team, the weather is looking a bit cooler for the weekend, this will be good to get the pulse rate higher without the body temp raising too much!


Two nice plastic bottles of water for the arm toning, and the usual meeting for 10am on Saturday by the Rye caf?.



See you there!

Good job to all

G'day SFHYF,


Yes, the German starts lesson-1 this Tuesday and is a fun accelerated course of just 6-weeks, but achievable in less. It works on meaningful sentences rather than months and months of grammar and detail, so by the end of the first session you will have 20-key sentences which you can also chop and change.


Edith is an excellent teacher, and being German gives that excellent support.


For the past 3-weeks we have been working on phrases associated with exercise as a great way to learn is with passion about something. Prior to this, I'v never studied German before. After 6-weeks, we will follow the same structure in either French, Spanish, Italian or Russian. Einatmen und Ausatmen (breathe in and out).


I'll copy this over to the language thread too :-)


It's Free, but nice to buy Edith a cider :-)

I run youth workshops for London Bubble at the mo, covering a maternity place. Can I join afterwards? It would mean missing the first two sessions!


What a great idea(tu). My boyfriend is German and it has been three years so about time really I learn. Worst thing of all is when I was at secondary school, I turned my nose up at German choosing French and Spanish instead, saying that it was a useless language unlike the other two and I probably won't ever go to Germany so will never need to learn it! Never say never eh?????

Excellent, very funn to read :-)


Could you put a message on the language thread and that way I can keep everyone updated in realtime.


Sometimes, its nice to do something different to norm, and what started out as a bit of fun in Twickenham counting in a few languages has turned into a great show of languages on Peckham Rye.


No worries about missing a couple of weeks, I'm designing these so they are full on fun, learn what you need to a Level 2, and then ustilise what you have learnt. Then after 6-weeks, swap to another language but using the same format so you know exactly where you are heading.



German and cider goes really well :)-D



McCabe

G'day Susan,


Thank you for your message, it's so good to get feedback. Therefore, as a treat, I'm going to work you guys even harder, well the ones in purple :-)


The session did leap up a pace last week, so I will keep the fun up and the exercise too.


Best!




McCabe

Morning all!


This is the usual wake up call to rally you troops for tomorrow morning :-) The weather is set to be Sunny, 17C and hardly even a breeze, you couldn't ask for more!


In addition to the email during the week, I have also now added on Katie who use to be part of the group when her babe was I think just a couple of months old, and also Tom who heads up the fundraising for St Christophers Hospice.... See the 3Km & 5Km below.


Arm & shoulder toning - using bottles of water


Select the plastic water bottle size that best suits you, the stubby 1 Ltr bottles or the smaller 75CL bottles. We cover 300 Reps in arm & shoulder toning and thats before we even get into the park.


If there is anyone not in purple yet and have attended two sessions, I will have some sets with me (T-shirts & Jackets....mainly all Medium size), and have some T-shirts too of varying sizes


See you guys in the morning :-)




McCabe

ps. Whatever you do, don't ask me about the film I went to see on Sunday, 'Johnny English'

Looking forward to making the most of the last bit of sun! If anyone reading this is deciding wether to come - DO IT - you will feel better for it and enjoy the rest of your weekend all the more :)


See you all tomorrow


Alison

Salut Elvyne et Tom!


21 in the group today and...... rising! It's good to see everyone in Purple, awesome!


So, next week we will have another gentle twist...... But you will have to wait and see.


Other News

Languages: German starts this Tues 7-30pm at ED Tavern, only 6-weeks with a cut-to-the-chase method. French will be next, followed by Spanish, Italian and then as a challenge Russian. They are 30-min sessions, I've prep'd Lessons 1 to 3. Does anyone know someone who can help with Italian? We have native or educated teachers in the other languages :-))

Anything else on the horizon? Yep, guitar groups, cut to the quick cord progressions such as Cold Play fav's and others!


Oh yes, and knitting...... Only joking, I always drop stitches :-)

Hey McCabe thank you very much for the fitness today, I haven't done any since university 2 years ago!


Looking forward to German, and I would also like to put my name down for guitar club, I play a little!

Danke

Ciao!

Tom

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
