Your running is inspiring but the roasted tomatoes are even more inspiring :).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15711792521348799922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-91184143822701789562013-10-07T15:51:03.863-07:002013-10-07T15:51:03.863-07:00I saw this show just last week -- someone shared i...I saw this show just last week -- someone shared it on Facebook, a pirated or otherwise-downloaded version. What a Fabulous show! The 5 women were wonderful and inspiring. Thanks for sharing the link -- I hope other readers will take a peek.

Even warm enough for some misguided young (and not so young) men to go about bare chested.<br /><br />Re your running post last Monday. As always I am so inspired by runners. One day, I keep telling myself. I know what you're going to say - get out there, place one foot in front of the other, speed up and repeat...<br /><br />Anyway - keeping moving is clearly the path to maintaining all sorts of faculties and abilities as we age. There was a lovely programme on tv over here recently and I've added the link below, although I am not sure whether you can view it everywhere. It looked at 5 (I think) women with an average age of 80 - all delightful people, all very much engaged with the world, all very interested in how they look and all but one very slim and physically active, which strikes me as key. I found it all very inspiring and encouraging so take a look if you have a spare moment. <br /><br />http://www.channel4.com/programmes/fabulous-fashionistas/4odPale Bluenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-68005558701872058022013-10-06T20:52:21.830-07:002013-10-06T20:52:21.830-07:00I love that bit of low sunlight you've capture...I love that bit of low sunlight you've captured.

Even grey sea skies over grey-blue waters are beautiful. The peace and beauty that can be found by the sea is very soothing. Just about now, Monsieur will be transporting my mother-in-law's ashes to Bowen where she found the peace and beauty in her life. We really are experiencing the circle of life this year. I hope that some of your essays are well-written and thought-provoking.Madame Là-bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703782237948233124noreply@blogger.com
