My new 7 Minute Muscle fitness regime

Time to stop the rot and the half-hearted effort with my exercise and get on by doing it regularly with a keener exuberance. Since leaving gym and doing my own thing at home using an adjustable dumbbell set, exercise bands and an exercise ball, my enthusiasm has waxed and waned which is partly due to [...]

Different spin on exercise

Exercise is a necessary part of life in order to stay fit and healthy and I have done a great deal of walking in my childhood through to early adulthood because I had no choice. There were no local public or private buses close to home and I had to walk 3 kms one way [...]

Fruit Corso in Tiel

I was sent a Powerpoint Presentation of the 2007 Fruit Corso held in a Dutch town called Tiel in the province of Gelderland. I was unaware of this annual event and immediately did some research online to find out more. It turns out that it is a huge celebration held in early September of local [...]

Don’t Inject Me With The Swine Flu Vaccine

An extremely worrying topic and not for the reason you may imagine. A song has now been put together by Mike Adams to warn of the dangers of this vaccine. Mike Adams chose hip-hop as the vehicle for reaching out to his younger audience as they are more likely to relate to this music genre. [...]

Zebra information

There are a number of interesting articles about Zebras on my website. As I am using this new blog now, I will highlight some links to the Zebra facts and quirky information available on my website. They are such endearing creatures particularly with their quirky black and white stripes and I would not want you [...]

My WordPress Theme for my Blog

You have probably noticed a couple of changes in my blog theme since I started this new blog. I have finally settled on the WordPress Theme called WP-Smooth 1.0 by Solostream. So far it is a dream to configure and use which in my case is a big plus. I know a reasonable amount to [...]

    Zebra Nap

    OK, you have caught me ‘zebra napping’ and I must admit that I have been rather slack recently in terms of adding to my blog. Time to turn over a new leaf and get myself back into the habit of writing and posting here. Just been one of those times when other things have taken [...]

  • Margarine, the not so healthy alternative

    Margarine, the not so healthy alternative

    I remember my mother was always very suspicious of margarine when it was introduced in the 1960′s. She could not understand how a man-made product could possibly be better for you than a natural product. Way back after it was brought in she said: “You wait and see, one day, someone will tell us how [...]

    Epidemic of Vitamin D deficiency sweeping the world

    I am not surprised there is an epidemic of Vitamin D deficiency sweeeping the world and it is quite worrying. I only have to compare my life growing up in the 1960′s and 1970′s with my life now. 30 years ago there were no  such things as computers, mobile phones, Playstations, etc to keep me [...]

I like things that feel yummy to your hands and rich and textural with your sight. I can tell you that her pieces definitely fit that description. I purchased a [...]

    Reflection of my first day at school

    It is the beginning of a new school year which brings back memories of my own first day starting in Prep all that time ago in the mid 1960′s at my local school in the outskirts of Melbourne. Before going into that aspect, I first have to tell you how my mother had prepared me [...]

  • Tennis anyone?

    Tennis anyone?

    I am not a big fan of watching sport on TV but I will watch the Australian Open tennis which starts today. This Grand Slam attracts many top players from around the world and is definitely worth following. More extraordinarily than me watching sport, I even managed to find an image of a Zebra playing [...]

  • Plight of Elephants

    Plight of Elephants

    I am very fond of elephants and quite recently, I saw the American 60 Minutes program about an elephant orphanage in Kenya. It left me shocked to see the extent of poaching going on which leaves so many young elephants not only orphaned but traumatised, and some severely so. The story was originally aired on [...]
