Good way to complete my exercises

15 Replies

I found a nice way to help with my exercises. I play one of my favourite songs by the Commitments:

"Mustang Sally"

I can`t move as fast as I used to, but it sure gets the blood flowing :-)

I`ve got a collage of mixed photo`s of my time spent in the Navy on my bedroom wall, took me ages to get it right using my PC and Photoshop, but that was a long time ago. I just have to spend time staring att that, then close my eyes and I`m right back on board with my mates. Funnily enough all the sounds are there, even the smels and the noise of the aircraft. Weird huh? :-O

Still, it works for me......

D'you know if I smell Ponds Cold Cream, it takes me back to the mid 1950s, actually to a room I was in with my Grandmother. So you don't surprise me having that experience, great isn't it! xB

Chips does it for me also, takes me back to the sea-side (cullercoats) as a kid with my brothers, I was only 4-5 years old, I loved the sea-side chips. Sitting on the sands with my mam and brothers............loved it :-)

I always loved the sea, used to cycle down to the coast every weekend in all weather, used to get soaking wet through some weekends and a telling off from mam, ha, ha.

Kids would not dare do anything like that now, too many nutters around.

I remember people sitting on the sands with hankies on their heads to keep the sun off, and chips were always nicer at the coast. I was envious of people having holidays there when it was 'Scottish Fortnight'. xB

I wish I'd been a fly on the wall John! I'm reminded of a pill related incident

my father in law had. He'd put a pill in his hearing aid instead of a battery!

What else came to mind, that scene in one of the carry on films where Barbara

Windsor stuck her chest out! xB
