    Hi Calum - not a problem, the number of people viewing, which eventually went way, way, past 400. I had to go to the shops but could see that the surge was set to continue. I therefore stayed logged on while I was out to add to french frank's highest figure by one - Lat.

      ...the proms?
      According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

          In olden times - before the Fathers Pilgrimmed - a rain dance would possibly have been part of the treatment?

            Yes S-A, I was quite young in those days, pre the Pilgrim Fathers and saw my friend Mr.Winslow off on his travels.

            I don't think, from the forecast, that a raindance this week will be necessary

                we have had and look very likely to have torrential thunderstorms in the middle kingdom this afternoon, humid hot and lowering skies ... and very overhead as they say .... startlingly loud explosions of thunder and vivid lightning ...

                  Ha Ha! Those Pilgrim Fathers (and mothers) had much harder things to endure than a brown lawn and wilting shrubbery. Watering can at the ready for evening watering. I didn't have time this AM because I had to go out and lead a walking tour around the old part of Newport. Now it's time to go visit my mother. Dinner prep later and then gardening in the evening. It's actually a little cooler today but no sign of rain on the horizon.

                  Saly, I hope your therapist isn't "beating you up" as my mother would say. She does therapy for walking and gets quite tuckered out by it sometimes. She's trying to get in shape for my baby sister's wedding later this month (baby sister being 44.) My regards to Mr. Winslow haha.

                    'morning all. Wet but still hot and humid so far. No marthe, physio has finished with me, just left me with lots of exercises to do every day.

                    Have a good day.

                        Good that it's over, salymap!

                        I find I just do the exercises that I enjoy & forget about the other

                          My hardest one is to put one foot in front of the other to make a straight line. Hands on hips and wobble dangerously to a count of ten. You try it

                              You don't have a video of yourself trying that one, have you salymap?

                              I have feet that naturally position themselves at ten-to-two. Without much effort I can put my heels together and turn my feet outwards to form a straight line. Many years ago I was in the choir seats at RAH and, at the start of an interval I was required to let a woman walk past me. I adopted said position, affording her an easy exit (!) whereupon she stood right in front of me, staring at my feet and then at my face, and exclaimed " Oh my! What clever feet"
