I happily lost interest in sex years ago, but Mads Mikkelsen or Tom Hiddleston may peak my interest…

Ouch! I did my extremely slow and gentle squats after a trip to IKEA with the kids. I’ve been looking into equipment-free exercises for toning and improving my shape without trashing my joints. Today I did a few exercises from a chair (seated) workout video. It seems like nothing doing at first, but by the time you hit the 50ish mark you’re starting to feel odd muscles activate. I never got the hang of Pilates, I think I’d have to do it in front of a mirror to get it right and there’s insufficient space in front of mirrors at my place.

That’s some pretty solid advice, tyvm!

Best birthday wishes to you! 🎈🎉

Ok so you inspired me to have another look at squats. One of my least favourite exercises because my knees hate me (“lift with your knees” they said, “save your back” they said). I thought, there’s got to be a way to do it without trashing your knees. That led me to a short video which really helped. I did all the things that Dr said and now I can (carefully) do squats! So I did 56 very slow and careful squats, and I’m very excited to join you on your squat challenge!

Let me guess: an orange politician?

Edit: just read SaneMartigan’s comment and your response. Should have done so before responding. I also look at the daily news and wonder how long until.

I love the colours and style!

I’m glad you’re ok now 🫂

I’d appreciate that, as the cloud cover where I am prohibits viewing 🙁Always, always there is a cloudy night when something significant like this happening in the sky. Miniest and I have had enough! Thumps table

I’m a bit like Force, I started with the spray and moved to the lozenges. I really liked the spray and used it for about 4 years before I switched to the lozenges. I can’t see myself giving up the lozenges any time soon but the way I see it, anything is better than smoking or vaping and I’m happy for myself, because I was really badly addicted. I gave up and then started again and quit again about 10 years ago. I’d had about a dozen attempts prior to that, and I smoked both ciggies and weed for over 20 years.

I’ve got a calendar for upcoming stuff and birthdays and a small whiteboard I write the business of the day on. I just can’t do digital/phone calendars, they don’t work for me visually the same way. Also the whole family can use it, so it’s better in that way as well.

Today is the day I catch up with my old friend (I got the date wrong initially; stupid, because I chose the date 🤪) She’s chosen one of those hotpot places in Chinatown. I’ve never been to one of those before.

I’m so sorry this has happened 🫂

I’m so sorry for your loss Melba 🫂 I hope you’re finding some solace in your decision to let her go peacefully, you did your best and in the end that’s all we can do.

Thanks for the tip! It came with this anti slide mat and the frame has these rubber stoppers on which seems to be working so far.

He’s very excited 😆 He and his dad are putting it together currently. It’s not a very expensive top of the range kind of one (he would’ve liked something better) but I said you can try it and play around with the features and start to get an idea of what things you like or want as features, then get something else later down the track. It’s a good starter kit and I wanted him to have that pride of having saved for something and got it.

The electric drumkit has arrived 😃 Elder saved his Xmas and birthday money plus all of his pocket money for an electric drumkit so he can practise with headphones on and not bother anyone (and also he’s learning so he’s shy). He saved the money and then asked me if he could get one, how could I say no 🥹 Great effort for a 13/14 yo, very proud ATM.

I’m so sorry to hear that Taleya

I’m so sorry Melba
