A recent commission for one of our lovely coffee shops got us thinking. We were ‘removing
the wobble’ from some of the tables and we thought, hey, sometimes we get the wobbles.
My wife and I are quite active, walking or swimming and exercising at Alison’s Fluro Fun N
Fitness. Other friends enjoy time at the Burgh Healthy Hub, surf, bike ride, dance or garden.
Maybe they are enjoying learning to use the fitness equipment in Charles Harper Park, with a
coffee and muffin at Tradies afterwards (a Council health initiative running for six weeks
from Friday the 29 th October).
All these things and more help to strengthen our bodies, keep us flexible and get our balance
right. Plus, I’ve learned a new vocabulary; ‘glutes, abs, turn on my core, reps, plank
(aarrgghh) and my personal favourite, ‘rest’.
And in the lead-up to Christmas, please come along to our Annual Shed Open Day, Saturday
the 12 th November. We’re also part of The Garage Sale Trail—who knows what you may
find!
There will be demonstrations of tools and techniques, enjoy a cuppa and a cake, maybe grab a
sausage sizzle and a drink, peruse our ShedShop and have a tour – see what YOUR Men’s
Shed is all about!
And you may even get to meet Sammy, the Shed Skink.
