Hey Ry, how are you doing? I see you're due some snow pretty soon up north, have fun with that.

We seem to be following our usual school timetable so PE and sport are scheduled in as well as lessons. I think that is a good thing, I don't want to be stuck to a screen or have my head in a book all day.

Our rugby kit is quite robust out of necessity I guess. The shorts are that heavy-duty cotton twill that is finely ribbed and they seem to hold almost their own weight in water when they get wet - in fact we thought we'd try it one day using a pair of kitchen scales and just see the weight difference between wet and dry. The shirts are thinner fabric but only just and are long sleeve with a collar and two buttons down the front, like a polo shirt. The shorts have a short button fly and adjusters at the sides of the waistband and side pockets (why?) and have a short inside leg. Shirt and shorts are designed to be a snug fit (less to grab hold when you are tackled) but feel great when soaked in mud. They make even the skinniest, weedy guy look quite fit.

I think Charlie and me are quite fit with all the early morning exercise swims and other messing around that we do and so long as you keep moving it doesn't get too cold outside even at this time of year. I admit we don't go splashing about outside if there is ice on the puddles etc - now that is too cold. I've found that turning the shower to cold for the last few seconds - long enough to get the cold water touching your kin all over - after our morning swim sets me up nicely for the day; it makes you feel invigorated and stifles any inclination to go back to bed for another half-hour before breakfast and school. Try it and see how you feel, you might be pleasantly surprised. Let us know if you try it.

Stay safe.
