It’s quite nice to be able to fit an exercise regime into normal activity. I like to get up during the week and go for a walk first thing. It’s a good little bit of exercise, and I can go on the #Breakfastclub without disturbing the family. The #Breakfastclub? It’s a radio net, run byContinue reading “Monday”

In a previous post I said that I’d explain what RAYNET is all about.
