BE THE FASTEST ON THE SLIDE

268328After a very nice, quiet day on the beach I am going to share something fabulous with you. A slide in the shape of an elephant on the beach, an old playground equipment on the coast of Spain, in Girona. Elephant slide – Girona, 1975. Francesc Català-Roca.

To give you a small fashionable advise, you will beat everybody in “speed sliding” if you are wearing a “Lederhose”. (in case you don’t know what that is, watch the little boy below)

HAPPY SKIPPING :)

e19fa4879b529a2bdd74d8d22edba597

Did you know that 10 minutes of skipping is more efficient than half an hour of jogging?

SUMMER IS COMING and most of you will stress to get the new bikini body as fast as possible. Don’t hurry too much, choose the right exercises and keep eating healthy.

Keep yourself fit and you will love yourself more.

Here are some skipping varieties found here:

  • Skip Jump - hop on one foot and kick the other foot to the front (or behind) the body, alternate legs
  • Jog Jump - alternate your feet in a jogging movement as you jump the rope
  • Hop Jump – hop on one leg for for several jumps, alternate legs (start with 2 per leg and increase as you improve)
  • Jack Jump – do “jumping jacks” as you jump – one jump land with your legs apart, next jump land with them together

KISSES FROM THE SUN

"Freckles"
freckles area thing so sweet,
as they fall onto a young girls cheek,

fine brown sugar sprinkled on the nose,
with pretty freckles a young girl glows,

playing in the sea having fun,
young girls receive kisses from the sun.

LOBSTER FASHION

6ff625803eeac834b059cd103fe6ff2fThis is precisely what a Lobster has always needed and I wish I had a lobster to knit for…

Those are two of my favorite comments on Doctor Knit’s lobster sweater on the flickr page

But there was also a question, I found quite amusing…and confusing………..

“Do you dress them before or after you drop them in the boiling water (presuming you’re using a superwash yarn!)? (by rudibeardog)
