As I attempt to fight off signs of old age i.e. dementia, reduced mobility etc etc

I have begun doing two things which are quite new to me. Yoga and crosswords.

Yoga for a supple, bendy body and crosswords to keep testing my mind.

Yesterday I managed to complete the concise Times crossword with only one help from the internet. And anyone that knew that 'Relating to a legendary lyre-player' was 'Orphic' is clearly wrong un.

And yoga makes me feel years younger. I highly recommend both, AWIMB. :cloud9:

I’ve been doing one of those, peak brain training apps. It’s a bit more diverse than crosswords.

I have no idea why I’m doing this :shrug:

Because 7sisters, the brain needs exercising just as the body does. Well done. I might have a look at that.

I also do Sudoku when I can be bothered.

I have started bumping into things a bit. My balance isn't quite what it was.

I expect to drop down dead in the next five years or so anyway, so I am ****ed if I am going to start doing bleeding yoga.

Yoga is excellent for chicks. The glw swears by it.

Chaps run and lift weights.

He clearly didn't have time for classical literature where he grew up, la. Too busy leaping from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia.

Anyone that knows what a lyre-player is is just as much of a wrong un

To learn proper manly subjects like physics and math? We had to take 6 subjects for entry into university back in the day. I took physics, calculus, algebra, functions and relations, chemistry and English. And I only took English because I had to.

Men do science and engineering, women do Arts. I will make a possible exception for history which is a) vaguely manly and b) little master WES's best subject (his report said he had the potential to be a top class historian :cloud9: ).

No, I'd rather they bunked off and went hunting buried treasure in the Caribees or somewhere, to be honest. I even front the score, so long as they don't finger me when their mother starts asking questions.

School is for homos; action and adventure is what young chaps need.

OK, so take them out of school and send them to Syria. :shrug:

No, you don't send them. The idea is to inspire them to seek out the action themselves, fully understanding that they are breaking all the rules in doing so. And being responsible for the consequences of that.

They've already done Syria anyway.
