Hi all. I am a yoga fan and attend a weekly class. I feel that if I don't do any exercise at all my back will seize up completely.
It completely knacker's me out, but I do enjoy it.
Anyone else a fan?.

I never learnt to drive and don't wish to either. Too many nutters on the road. I feel nervous as a passenger even.

I also passed RSA In typing, many years ago but now, like many others, use an iPad. Probably wouldn't have bothered with that if my offspring hadn't bought me one for Xmas. But very glad they did as get a lot of pleasure from using it. I only know the basics, but that suits me fine. That's all I need really. Having said that, I still can't remember how to copy and paste
Oh well! Never mind,

Going round Sainsbury's this morning that I panic if I don't have food 'in stock' as well as the stuff that is in current use! I didn't even know that!

I just love driving, any time, any where.
I hate slow drivers and suffer from road rage.
