Big *HUG*s! So great to see you, I have been thinking about you and wondering how you are.
That's what I figure. I can't do regular aerobics because of my dodgy knee - I have to be a bit careful with the aqua aerobics too. However it's mainly huge fun. I believe laughing very hard for a long time exercises a lot of facial muscles, and probably burns off at least a square of chocolate.
I once ended up in a water aerobics class by mistake, but I stayed for the class and I was quite impressed: you can make it as hard or easy as you want.
Hope the train tracks aren't washed away today - the rain never knows when to stop in the UK
I have always maintained that if anything is going to kill me prematurely, it's an excess of water, so I stay well away. Of course, slippery tow-paths don't help and I was given a thorough bath in the local canal. It took two fairly strong blokes to help me out.

HP, surely it's not possible to stay away from water if you fish!
Definitely, it should be fun! and there should be chocolate. How did it go? How was the chocolate sponge cake?
Oops, I was going to post my news here but I spent too long hugging people and catching up. I have to go and make lunch now.
What a beautiful day

Don't buy the iPhone
OK so it has a fantastic camera, superb sound, lovely interface BUT
you'll suddenly find strands in your life connected and suggested, that you'd much rather forget and have to keep signing in to prove your ID with password that can only be written in Cyrillic symbols and when you inevitably drop it on a hard surface ...
My own is a once-new HTC - the camera is crap, the video is awful but I can change the battery without a soldering iron, use it as an external hard drive, and choose (most) of the apps I know I need, not what Apple corp decides and it doesn't have to pause at inconvenient times to update itself. I can plug it into other people's computers without both melting down and load music by dragondrop ( from iTunes ). I've dropped it numerous times and ... nuffin broke. Oh and it makes phone calls and syncs with all my calendars.
Also... I'm getting a tan. I am no longer transparent
*blows kisses*
No, they'll say 'it's intuitive'.
Those three words from a young 'tech' can turn this normally benevolent, sweet tempered old geezer, into a frothing at the mouth fiend in microseconds.
- as usual. with a lachrymose and laryngitic Piglet. She has had some virus and although she has no temperature and the doctor said her lungs, ears, heart, etc etc etc are all clear and fine, she has no voice and is what I call 'flopsy bunny'. It's as if she has been eating too many lettuces, which as fans of the divine Beatrice know, are soporofic. , I work from home so I can just get on with my work while simultaneously taking care of my sickly child. Occasionally I get a break when I manage to jump on my bike and get out to the shop to buy orange juice or something else nutritious to try to get the poor kid back on her feet. confused: I didn't realise there was a career pathway for this but apparently there is on SIMS4). Piglet had persuaded her friend to adopt a SIMS4 baby and her friend was howling in anguish as she had now lost her job, was obliged to share her virtual room and had also lost her unicorn (don't ask!). . I have also got two contracts for two days' work each contacting my exceedingly small groups of students to ask about their future studies. (I have already done this of course, so it's going to be money for jam phoning them up to check up on them again!) It's not quite enough money for a new boiler, but it will certainly help with Christmas this year. 
Don't worry, no spoilers - I won't tell the ending.
OK so I had to read that twice.
