Last time I was in London and had got off the tube train, I was heading back up to ground level and, rather than get the escalator, I ran up the stairs. Very satisfying.<BR/><BR/>I was nodding with a certain amount of understanding with the second part of what you said: sometimes I would like a job, maybe for a few months, which would be about physical effort rather than thought. For a while at least, that would seem like bliss...<BR/><BR/><B>zola</B>, once again, I'm not worthy! That really made me laugh :)<BR/><BR/><B>bobo</B>, I would say go for it - but then it's hardly a surprise that I would recommend it following what I wrote in the post....if I remember rightly, do you go running? I prefer cycling now because it's less stress on the joints.<BR/><BR/><B>suburbia</B>, hello and welcome, and do drop by again if you so wish. I think it's a case of finding the balance between the noise and the quiet (too much quiet would, as you suggest, less interesting). Thing is, it's also a case of taking advantage of the weather - remembering how last summer ended up, it would feel silly not to make the most of how things are right now.<BR/><BR/><B>biker etc</B>, I know not of that to which you refer...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-54191850333601970892008-05-14T11:44:00.000+01:002008-05-14T11:44:00.000+01:00Sounds like a starter for another rip roaring "Thr...Sounds like a starter for another rip roaring "Three Men on the Bummel" to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-91743859087308207752008-05-13T10:21:00.000+01:002008-05-13T10:21:00.000+01:00I loved reading your post.Perhaps I should take up...I loved reading your post.<BR/>Perhaps I should take up cycling to quieten my head. However in all that rubbish (in one's head) there is always so much that you can dig out and plant on your blog isn't there? <BR/><BR/>PS I found you at Bobo's.Suburbiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352465945711496612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-3435079094468072512008-05-13T08:54:00.000+01:002008-05-13T08:54:00.000+01:00Love the idea of you enjoying the the sheer mindle...Love the idea of you enjoying the the sheer mindless physicality of your body as you turn into a cycling mad max. <BR/><BR/>I think I fancy a bit of that.XXYXXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05205278384614133047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-57927113959447266922008-05-13T07:03:00.000+01:002008-05-13T07:03:00.000+01:00I've seen TrousersWith his tongue hanging outShowi...I've seen Trousers<BR/>With his tongue hanging out<BR/>Showing off again and again<BR/>No doubt.<BR/><BR/>With his bicycle a'raging<BR/>And his short-shorts never caging<BR/>Out Trousers has an outlet<BR/>For his wild wanton wick.<BR/><BR/>Round and round went the fucking great wheels<BR/>Ding dong ding dong went his bells of steel.<BR/><BR/>Trousers now is satisfied, gratified and vilified<BR/>Cycling like a mad man<BR/>With it all hanging out.zola a social thinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14206983697656466653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-26897525175919041942008-05-12T23:59:00.000+01:002008-05-12T23:59:00.000+01:00,'...and they bound about with sheer abandon and t...,'...and they bound about with sheer abandon and their tongues hanging out..'<BR/>I can just imagine you and I hesitate to think what Zola will comment on.<BR/>However, I know what you mean.<BR/><BR/>When I first started training Karate I had one incident after about 6 months hard work which showed me the benefit.<BR/><BR/>I'd had a business lunch in Glasgow city centre.<BR/>I was going back to my car when it started to rain heavily.<BR/>Without thinking, I sprinted - or maybe loped - up a long 1 in 4 hill to the top.<BR/>Even I was shocked, not a breath out of place.<BR/>I felt like James Bond.<BR/><BR/>As for now? Doesn't bear thinking about.<BR/><BR/>I do still shuffle about with my tongue hanging out, like Benny Hill on a bad day, must be said.<BR/><BR/>On the general point about the soulful benefits of physical activity, I do have a comment.<BR/><BR/>At one point, when I was severely stressed a number of years ago, I was forced to take a job working on a recycling lorry picking up bags of newspapers from houses.<BR/>Lift , carry, throw all day, no thought required.<BR/>It was just wonderful.<BR/>No responsibilty and lots of time to work things through while I was on automatic pilot just lifting and throwing.<BR/><BR/>Did the trick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
