Mens sana in corpore sano

"You should pray for a sound mind in a sound body," says Juvenal - my father too, as it happens. 

Here I come to the old joke (Douglas Adams perhaps)

'At time like this I wish I'd listened to what my father said.'
'Why, what did he say?'
'I don't know i didn't listen.'

 I didn't either. I wish I had ; the bit about keeping healthy anyway, The hour or so I spend in the Gym most days does wonders for my creativity. I'm getting the hang of meditating while I do the exercises and that seems to work well.


And so, here by way of evidence - yes I really do it - and not a pretty sight you'll agree - this is me at the Gym becoming inspired.

My health plans go along with my writing plans, more or less.  By the end of 2013 I plan to have my second draft finished and to be at the right weight for my height. (About a stone or so to go)
