How can you build a regular fitness routine?

With great difficulty, though perhaps we should be positive about what we do ;do ;and not what we  don’t do.

It turns out that having a dog results in the routine exercise of walking, they don’t really understand gymnasiums and hot yoga classes.

What’s a classic book that you think is overrated?

If it’s “Classic”, then is it really up to me who isn’t a big player in this World to say it is overrated?Sounds like my  opinion would dissipate into thin air and be lost among a cackle of protesting academics who know a thing or two about Classics.

Who are some underrated people in history?

Underrated, well that is a pecking tall order.

History, who writes it ?And who decides what is important and worth noting.

The originators of our written records are not always motivated by the facts ,sometimes as in the case of a lot of Greco-Romano poets and writers it’s the story (fake news) or character assassination that is important.

So the underrated are the ones who were there, who lived through the stupidity and the skullduggery and somehow survived to pass their genes into the next generation.Surely they made us what we are today.

What are the biggest benefits of minimalist living?

No one knows all these answers yet we are bombarded by information.

Take a step back,remove the noise and understand what you do need to live.

Suddenly it all makes sense. Pare it back, turn off notifications and look at what you can do not at what others tell you,you cannot do.

There is hope and meaning in filling a kettle.

What’s a thing you were completely obsessed with as a kid?

My brother gave me a book one Christmas it was an encyclopedia of Animals.I gave it to his son years later  as he was obsessed the same way I was with animals.

It was a great book and I used to pick it up to read it and look at the pictures.That along with Jaques Cousteau was probably my main interest in life.

I once spotted a cricket in the grass and my dad said that I was a budding naturalist.I was very pleased with myself.

What’s the most interesting local custom you’ve encountered?

Well in the Wilds of Cornwall, practicalities take over from grand gestures.

So “we have no fish as it’s Saturday night and we don’t open again until Thursday” seems quite rational to the village fish and chip shop..To angry from Essex, I’m not so sure.

Still this is the pace of life and why worry?I was next in the queue and was told “we have no fish”

but I said

” I just want chips”.

Smiles all around and lovely chips they were along with the free gravy as they had also ran out of curry sauce.

My partner loved the gravy so much he declined to share and he isn’t normally like that.We will have to go back for gravy and chips again.

Another custom I’ve noticed on the camp site is letting the meadow daisies have as long a life as possible.Once a camper has had their stay, they normally mow the grass. but when it’s quiet,the grass has a chance to grow and the daisies too.And very pretty they looked.

If you had to describe your ideal life, what would it look like?

Perhaps the Holy Grail is a Giant ” L” ,floating in the sky, being worshipped by powerful microscopes and televised internationally by even more  powerful Media Monopolies, who sell the images on subscription to the masses.

The premium subscription offers the ‘L” glint where the sun lands on the “L” shape and briefly ignites an array of colours that stimulate the human eye.

To those of us without the subscription.We simply have no Idea as we’ll never see the “L”.

Those with ordinary and premium subscriptions think we are missing out and will never understand the ideal as we cannot appreciate the magnificent colours.

We however see plenty of colours in the World and can live with or without the “L”. I suppose we have an idea.

What is the best concert you have been to?

No the concert wasn’t “There is a Pattern”…..I’ve just realized that the three live concerts I enjoyed most were (in no order of preference) Joan Armatrading,Annie Lennox and Susan Vega.

The pattern with those is brilliant lyrical song writing and fantastic vocal renditions. It’s obviously what I like.

The crazy obsession with massive venues and big productions really isn’t my thing.

Which is the best thing to do in your city?

The best thing to do in my city is to splash through the puddles on the sidewalk in my designer wellington boots with the cartoon Walrus and Penguin Motifs.

I like to do it at midnight ,if possible, with a head torch on.Fresh rain lasting from two in the afternoon until eight at night results in the best puddles.

I wear an old jacket and jeans which I put in the wash when I get back as sometimes the puddles on the road have oil and grease in them.

What super power do you wish you had and why?

I’m being greedy.I want a rechargeable Superpower magic wand.Rechargeable as I have to make a bit of an effort.So I will polish the portable solar panels every day.

However. I will wave my superpower magic wand and it will “fix” everything.

“Zing”
