Try bikram yoga lol if there is a hell they're all doing bikram yoga !! Nice & hot

Is that the same as Hot Yoga?
Lots of sweaty dudes in black clothing, showering and deodorant application prior to attending a class seems to be optional (at least at the one I went to) :shock:

Yes think of Yoga in Singapore in the height of summer & that's about it

Home now Goodness it's stressful attending these loyalty lunches, the waistband on my skirt seems to have shrunk during the day

And you think it is any easier when the pair of pants does not fit you in the first place?

We don't mind PF, you're still a princess Besides, you've still got plenty to go until you become a Mrs Shrek :mrgreen:

Hope you had a great day.

Mindfulness / relaxation, the latter being something I've always struggled to do! I'm going with my wife on Tuesday to give it a try - I think it's Hatha.

Being more flexible is certainly an advantage, though SWMBO might also think you could do with some practice bending over backwards

How so drron?

There's a joke that goes, "My doc recommended I take up jogging to lose weight. I gave it up when my crotch kept catching on fire."

I'm thinking of trying yoga, apparently it's good for the mind/soul. Not sure how spectacularly I will fail at it, but... worth a try, right?

I'll come along to laugh (and for 'research' reasons appreciate the grace and style of the other attendees )

I never make misteaks.

I always miss steak.

Saw a great show last night - EMPIRE | Crown Melbourne Rooftop - seriously good. Thoroughly reco to all Melburnites not to miss - we sat in 2nd row and we were 2mtrs from performers - you could hear their breathing - I would not reco sitting further back than front 2 rows as view would be greatly impeded - it was just fabulous - runs til May 11 I think.

Early dinner at Rockpool beforehand was just sensational also.

I'm waiting to get fitted with my JQ uniform. I wore my first item of orange merchandise today but I had to hand it back (an orange hard hat) during a site inspection.

Anyone traveling from Campbelltown way to the airport & city via East Hills gets a free rollercoaster ride at Glenfield from after the June long weekend.

You will just have to not attend a Qantas function in the future, and tell them that Bundy Bear doesn't have that sort of problem with food and alcohol and will happy attend in your place.

Sounds like it was a good day.

Just received my 17.5% cash back from Qwibble for a Dan Murphy's purchase in December. Better late than never, plus will make the RSW Shiraz taste that little bit better tonight.

Me too, I was thinking of trying yoga or tai chi, but at present I just need to be able to walk by next month !

 

[erkpod]

I got the top half fitted. It's in everyone's interests especially mine to wear pants to work but there wasn't anything in my size or remotely close to it. Now I'll have to be custom measured at a later stage.

As much as I don't like schoolboy grey & JQ orange, I think the new shirts look better on me.

 

[JohnK]

I think if there's one thing that has really been true for me the past few days is that life really is what you make of it, even if you don't think so at the time. Give it a few days and reassess.

I hope things work out for you.

You can't do much with events beyond your control. If the split between good and bad was 50%/50% or thereabouts then life is tolerable. When the split is more like 20%/80% then it feels like everything is going wrong. And even worse when that triggers a series of events that go against you.

It is hard to explain but if I was a puppet that would go part of the way to explaining my life. Someone else is in control and it does not matter what I think.

Ahh the joy in uniform change! I'm up for another one in a few months, although it's a step in the right direction!

Ooh, I was getting very excited there about the prospect of earning EDR QFF points at DJ's

Sadly not

Edited: The Scottish CEO of Woolworths SA appears to be pretty impressive judging by his appearance on the ABC
I'm excited DJ's, Country Road, Witchery and maybe even M&S in a tie-up

We saw the performance in Newcastle a few months ago. Yes agree, fabulous show.
