The top photos were taken in May, 2009. Click here for larger photos: Top Left – Top Right And the bottom ones were taken in [...]
Exercise Week 21: get dressed straight away!
I like to go to the gym early in the morning. Sometimes I have been before John goes to work but I do prefer to be at home with him in the mornings to give him breakfast while we chat over a cup of coffee. But I think I’ve discovered a key to exercise! At [...]
