Preceded you by eight years Steve, a couple of old gits!

Regards ippy

(I should point out that I recently turned 67 - I'm not newly arrived at old-git-dom!)
I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

Yoga is the thing that stops my back seizing up.

In terms of what age I 'feel' I vary between my actual age, 65, and my shoe size, 8, and generally speaking life is more fun the closer I 'feel' to my shoe size: why just yesterday I had a go - albeit briefly, before the fear kicked in - on my 16 year old grandson's new skateboard, and I must have gone a full 10 yards unaided!

Somebody once said 'Old age is when the mind makes dates the body can't keep'.

Huh! This month I've found out that old age is when the potassium levels go haywire because of various other medications!! :)

Very funny ippy!  You are in your 60's not your 90's......   :D

But Yoga is not just about impossible postures.  Many postures are quite easy. Also breathing techniques are very useful.

The exercises I have linked earlier are actually very easy and are performed while sitting in a chair.  It will help you come back to your 60's if not anything else. ;)

I'll take a pass on that one Sriram and I'll stick to my four mile walk every day with my little black bitch and tending to my rather large, large for the S E of England, garden 150 yds X 48 yds and I still do all of the maintenance to this small bungalow myself except the work on gas, my qualifications in that area I let go of about 15 to 20 years ago, I believe it is costing our plumbers something like about £5000 to £6000 a year to remain 'Gas Safe' qualified, unless someone out there can correct me.

I'm building wardrobes at the mo in my workshop that I've just finished building, as well as that lot, I'm filling in the gap between the ceiling and the wardrobe too

My long suffering wife manages to put up with my serious lifelong complaint of extreme tidyitis such as where if you leave a gap over the top of any wardrobe you can be certain any gap will be filled up with all sorts of untidy assorted amounts of dumped rubbish that I don't wish to see, things like suitcases etc,.

So generally after that lot Sriram I'll take a rain check on your Yoga.

Regards ippy.

No, no - filling in the gap is to avoid the necessity of dusting and the presence of spiders ... although of course, if they happen to get in somehow, they are not a problem since they cannot be seen.

Both negating the need to dust and more cutting down on mess, yes but it does keep the spiders out looking for flies elsewhere and anything that eats flies is O K with me.

The main reason I'm doing something with our wardrobes is because we've downsized from a large house with three easily double bedrooms to a small bungalow and where a previous wardrobe fitter has used make spaces/infills, they can all be used to give more wardrobe space.

It gives me the figits when I look at the infills so I'm increasing the carcass size to completely fill all of the available space and then I'll order doors to size to fit the new carcass sizes, then collect matchmaker paint from the local shed, B & Q, to paint the carcasses that will then match the colour of the new doors and then after all of that I'll fill the wardrobes in right up to the ceiling because tidy doesn't understand untidy and I'm firmly established on the tidy side of any argument.

My home is a lived in home first, it's never a showroom house but it is easily kept by design in good order.

I know there are some that take a pride in disorder, that doesn't bother me a jot, as long as it's not my place.

I have a very good close friend we've been friends for just over sixty years, now you can't sit down anywhere in his house and if you take the things that prevent you sitting down off of the seats there's nowhere to put the things you've picked up, we mutually don't understand each other but of course it's him that's got it wrong.

Kind regards Susan, ippy
