Ultra-sound

[poliphilo]

We took Odi for an ultra-sound scan- and came away with photos of the tiny, peanut-shaped baby. The photos should have cost us £4.50, but the woman working the machine gave us them for free as an apology for making us wait so long. The waiting was actually  no hardship. Fabrizio treated it as playtime and went the rounds of everyone in the room- climbing into laps and being rewarded with crisps. We were the last to be seen. Left in an empty waiting room with an excited child to entertain, I turned, as I do in these circumstances, into a performing elephant. I was going to say it does my poor old bones no favours, but, on reflection,  I believe I'm all the better for the exercise.

Good for you, Tony! As for the exercise, of course it's good. My doctor recommended a gym as part of my arthritis treatment. So I walk the treadmill for fifteen minutes and I ride the stationary bike for fifteen minutes two or three times a week. Result? A lot less pain and a lot more flexibility.
If I sit still too long in that wonderfully seductive and comfortable rocking chair, all the joints freeze up and then, oh woe is me!

I don't get enough exercise- I know I don't.
