Bouldering is so much fun - in my opinion! It has not been fun having "lockdown" (hunkering is a much nicer word) in the sunniest time of year. May is almost always the best month for weather

I know! My niece applied for the NHS "volunteer army" and didn't hear back.

I've been planning to build an earthship. I was on the point of signing up for a course at the Brighton Earthship (in England) when the lockdown happened. Funnily enough, I was just thinking about Portugal

I don't think that rude or aggressive comments have any place in debate. They are resorted to by people who don't have a valid argument. But I wouldn't argue against your right to be rude and aggressive.

That is a good point. I don't like violence or hate speech. But having said that, I think that even people who have hateful ideas should be allowed to speak out, as long as they are not advocating violence

Good for Shelley! I like her even more after hearing that! 😂 These are terrible times. The military giving out vaccines? I hardly know what to say. I wish we had people like Shelley in Scotland - people

Grrr. I think it is important that people remind their "leaders" of their constitutional obligations, but my MP in the UK doesn't even bother to reply to my letters or emails - they are meant

It seems to be a recommended way to increase speed and stamina.

Thanks @kaminchan. The self-hypnosis takes time (I do it every evening) but it seems to be working. I definitely recommend it!

Stupid has no limits. It's a good way to illustrate the importance of total decentralisation though.

I have a terrible phobia of spiders, which I'm trying to overcome by using self-hypnosis. It must be starting to work, because I can look at this picture without flinching, and the spider is actually quite

Crazy times. I often wonder what would happen if someone came at me with one of these after I'd been for a run. It takes me about 10 mins to cool down. I always feel a bit embarrassed when I pass people

Excellent photographs. But those scaffold posts... Gah!

Thank you! 😁

Thank you! 😁

That place looks totally amazing! Those temples! I will put it on my bucket list.

Thanks for your comments @masummin50. Keep at it! Interval training (running a bit and then walking) is great for weight loss because it helps to keep your heart rate at the aerobic level. If you push

Yes that's the kind of thing! My mum used to have a Fiat 126 when I was a child. A really ugly wee thing 😂
