Sweet sweat

Thanks to Paul's comment, I investigated Atom. I'm now linked - at least I think I am- and if it doesn't work, perhaps someone will be kind enough to tell me.

Blogging is a wonderful tool to keep you learning - even against your own dinosaur mentality. Now I'm thinking, do I need to sign up for this site feed business? How do I do it? Will it offer me something I need or be just another distraction that overloads my brain with yet more information that I don't have time to pursue? Please share your thoughts and links to any free software/ applications or whatever they are called! - that would enable me to try out the Atom experience for myself.

I get quite nervous about blogging about anything technological because I'm pretty sure I'm making a complete dill of myself, showing off my ignorance to all you clever bloggers out there - still, I have to learn and if that means being embarrassing, well, you could show the compassionate side of your nature by informing me.

Yesterday I went to the new yoga class for the second time. I love yoga. It leaves you feeling both energised and relaxed. If you used to do it (like I did) and drifted away, or you've never done it before, do give it a go. It stills your mind and tires your body and I've never found any other type of exercise makes me feel so good.

Last night I sat in a tropical Darwin back yard and watched two, six year old boys racing naked round and round the perimeter, dodging through the dark palms, stopping each time to give themselves a rolling, throwing, dust bath in a bare patch of earth and take turns at chucking a spear into the garden bed. The gymnastics were impressive, the track events showed both energy and endurance and the javelin throw, a natural skill worth building on. Two future Olympians? Maybe. But they and their accepting, loving mothers impressed me more than any gold-medal-winner.
