I'm just starting out with them, taking it real quiet (started off with 5) and looking to add them to a mix as they work different muscles to the weights I do. I got a yoga mat to help absorb some of the impact.
What made you happy today?

Bugger. Hope it's as quick for the FIL as for the MIL.
My grandmother went like that. Funny thing was, she had nothing wrong with her to my knowledge other than a busted hip.
She was 97, knew she would never go home again, one afternoon she had a sandwich for lunch, told the nurse she was going to have a nap and when they came back she was dead. We reckon she just decided she'd had enough and decided to check out.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Kettlebell swings really bite. Damn near a whole body workout, but I must be getting fitter as the ache is going away quicker and quicker.
Did a pre and post lunch short session on the kettlebell, then after I did weights in the afternoon at first it felt like I'd never use my arms again, but in a short time the ache is gone and I'm starting to like it.

My great nan was 98 and fell over making a cup of tea in her own home and died a week later. Pneumonia gets in the bones and nothing you can do about it. My Grandad reckoned someone mankaded her out at the bowlers end. She outlived 6 of her boys and a daughter. No way she gave up. They place her in a retirement home when she was 92 and and she left in a taxi and turned up at her daughters house saying I want to go home. I didn't send my sons to war to live in a concentration camp. Every bus driver in Perth knew her. She never learnt to drive. When I was a baby in Perth in the early 60s she was in her 80s and hardly anyone had a phone. She would turn up and Mum would answer the door bell and her 4 foot Nana would be there wanting to see me and my baby sister Mum would make her a cup of tea and find some cake and wait for Dad to get home in the company car to drive her back from Mount Pleasant to Cottesloe. They sold her home and put a granny flat in her eldest daughters back yard. She was still doing her own washing at 96 .stui magpie wrote:Bugger. Hope it's as quick for the FIL as for the MIL.

It was a shock when she passed. It was going to be the biggest pissup seen in Leonora when she turned a 100. Bloody shame but at least the old girl hardly suffered.

My camera bug soothes my soul!
practicing Natural lighting, ie dont use a flash, find the light, either physically or with camera settings. Im really stoked how these came out!! very little editing!
Note pic 3 that Beau was just starting to shake and his back end is still stationary and his nose is in focus! I blew my own mind with that shot as with the light a really fast shutter speed isnt possible (longer shutter is open, more light gets in)!! A cool fluke!!
hes such a poser!
shakin all over!
double exposure!
cheers

Leath and lala have arrived in Athens. 
That's a long trip with the stopover in Singapore, considering I dropped her off at the airport at 10am yesterday.
Looking forward to following her on Facebook and hoping I don't have to go all Liam Neeson on Europe
