I never tire of walking round the lake in the nearby valley. Photos taken on my mobile phone with Paddy on his lead in one hand. Not too bad, considering...?
Efficiency?
Within the last five minutes, Keith has taken delivery of an upgrade to one of the software programmes he uses for his vehicle key/transponder programming work.
It was delivered in a TNT pantechnicon (Before I saw the logo, I thought our neighbours were moving without telling us), packaged in an A4 padded envelope and is the size of a small USB flash drive, probably because that's what it is.
Keith ordered it from Lithuania on Friday and it has arrived here in sunny North Wales first thing this morning.
Trainers at the ready
Following on from my last post and comments, I have just discovered this courtesy of UK Health Radio News, which gives information from different sources regarding the advantages of exercise in one's 'senior years' to prevent or delay the onset of dementia.
No sitting back in your reclining armchair with remote in hand, then. You have been warned!

Ageing successfully?
We have just had a couple of days up in the frozen north with Kathy at Claire's house. Kathy commented, on watching this item on the local news, "Now there's someone who is ageing successfully!"
The item in question was about a 96 year old lady who has, impressively, just finished walking the entire length of Hadrian's Wall (although not all at once).
I have been pondering on this. So that must mean that it is no longer enough to 'grow old gracefully', there is a further hurdle to clear. You have to 'age successfully'. But does that mean that, to do so, I shall also have to walk the length of Hadrian's Wall and will I have to wait until I am 96 to do it, or could I just sneak it in now and 'deposit' it as evidence to show that I have aged successfully by the time I am 96?
Or, would it be enough to keep walking the dogs every day until I am 96?

Or was it enough just to help bring the horses in the other evening. They are quite big and a little bit scary!
DJs eat your hearts out!
This is what Keith is hoping to be able to do eventually with his new quadcopters. Won't happen any time soon though, I think.
I rest my case.
Oh, and Keith says I have to tell you all how excited I am about it all. Which I might possibly do if I could have the dining table back and he would agree to remove the ton of rubbish currently littering his computer desk in the corner of the living room - yes, the LIVING ROOM, NOT the shed.....!
I rest my case.
