Pumping Iron



Thought id take to the Gym again and pump some iron. Haven't joined in gym in years. I spent 12 years in the fitness industry back in the mid 70s the 80s, Not a lot has changed that really matters, the basic exercises are still basic. Weight resistance exercise is still the best body shaping / strengthening program. As you get older maintaining lean muscle mass becomes not just important for looks but for health and reducing the negative effects of aging. I am doing x 4 workouts a week plus my x 5 swims, all early morning. The only time to train. Also enlisting the support of 2 supplements Creatine Monohydrate injested prior to workout for the boost it gives to muscle energy, and L Glutamine amino, taken post workout to aid recovery & reduce muscle soreness. More later on exercise & ageing.

Its Geckoman!



Geckoman up there on the wall
do you ever have the feeling
When you are walking the ceiling
that you 're ever gonna fall?

Its written on the walls.The language of colour








One of the delightful experiences of travel is to notice new colour configurations.Many of us come from more bland expressions of the use of colour in urban planing, so when you arrive in a place like Mexico, colour speaks, sometimes loudly. You get woken up by some unique colour configurations. All of these were on walls around where i am living now.

The Mad Genius of Urban Planning



OK I finally got it. I look back from say 10 years in the future maybe less, 5 years, and developers have built Condos across the beach all the way down to the water. A sea wall has been built, like the Malecon in Habana, and the old Faro has become a massive Street Lamp. Brilliant!

Why didn't i see that before ........?

Conclusion


In a tropical downpour an Umbrella is totally useless.
