Super Health Detox
Today, is a better day. I woke up when Sue bought the post in – and I had a package! Unwrapping it, I thought Amazon had finally remembered to send a book, that I had forgotten that I had ordered.

Just call me Mr. Grumpy
I did Tai Chi last night for the first time in a while. I did plan to do it outdoors, but the cold put me off a little. I find it hard to stay warm doing Tai Chi, it’s not a sweating sort of sport. It is a Martial Art though and after only a… Continue reading Just call me Mr. Grumpy
