Exercise
Grandad March 13th, 2011
I have decided I need more exercise.
Apart from tramping the mountaintops and whacking a few tourists, I am a fairly sedentary person. I need to improve my blood circulation and generally tone up with a view to living that little bit longer. At my age I am only too aware that anything that can delay that fateful day is good.
I have searched for a suitable exercise regime, and have found quite a few. Most recommend around thirty minutes a day of aerobic exercise, but that sounds a bit like hard work. I am not one to enjoy a good sweat.
I persevered with my search and finally found what I am looking for.
It is going to be very tough going. I am going to have to discipline myself to carry out this regime every day. There may be days when I may feel like resting but I am determined that this shall not happen. The sacrifice will be well worth while for an extra five years of lifespan. I may even go that little bit extra to make it six years.
Tough, isn’t it?

Wow! I must join you there
Tramping mountain tops? How the hell do you get up there?
Whacking tourists? Remind me not to tour your neck of the woods the next time I take the ferry over! What is your neck of the woods by the way? I gather it’s Cork, but I don’t want to write off the whole of County Cork!
With regard to your latest exercise regime, does herself have sufficient frontage or are you obliged to take supplements?
Matt – The joy of this particular regime is that it can be practised virtually anywhere. All you need to do is to find the right equipment, which I am glad to say is found in most places.
Sean – How does anyone get up onto a mountain? As for the tourist thing – that is a blood-sport that is highly regarded in these parts. Because of their proliferation in times past, they were considered to be vermin. Then of course, George W put his imprimatur on it by declaring his War on Tourism some years ago. It was probably the only good thing he ever did.
Where did you get the idea I was in Cork? It’s more than a grand spot, but I’m on the other side of the country in the wilds of Wickla [as we call it here].
Incidentally, could we leave Herself and her frontage out of this discussion please?
I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to look in on you in a while Grandad. Glad I did today. Hysterical. Had me chuckling in front of my computer screen. Would have liked to be a fly on the wall when that German researcher came up with the idea of starting a study on this form of “exercise.”
Hello Grandad, I stumbled on your site looking into Ireland and you are great funny read. I really needed a good laugh. If I make it to Ireland, I am not much for the whacking and you might find I whack back, we could have an old people fight. Look forward to more of your rambles.
Denise – Too busy even to say hello? Shame! Welcome back anyway.
Sharivander – Welcome to my wee spot. You are more than welcome to try to fight back. It would add to the sport. Let me know when you are coming. Heh!
I most certainly subscribe to this form of exercise.
Problem is getting the right quality of said mammaries on a daily basis.
Just wondering then why you got rid of the nice photo you had of the boobies on your home page – miss looking at those and it was a handy source of viewing !!
I’m well sorted since I’m being doing this exercise for nearly 3 decades. So I reckon I’m gonna live to 100 and keep enjoying those beautiful valleys of flesh in the meantime.
Josh I got tired of sharing them. I am reserving them for my own personal use.
Pete – The one problem with this regime is that you must never ease off on the exercise. I know it’s tough, but stick with it.
It’s your eyesight I’m worrying about…….
