Apparently Tracy Emin is curating a room. We all know she tries to be shocking and one her choices caught my eye.

Justin put me onto these, aren't they just so hilarious !! My wife certainly wont come out with me wearing these !! Oh that's ok, I have other attire already where I have to walk alone if we are out together, lol.

But they are fantastic to wear, they arrived today and I've worn them around the house and garden all day. It really is like bare feet.

These are the sprint model; for training, running, walking, hiking, swimming, fishing, climbing it says but of course we have added the hoopi... read more

Not a bad morning really, I found I had won £20 on the lottery, hooped in the snow and looking forward to the Arsenal match this afternoon .. perfect day.

Happy Easter Folks

A great afternoon, I've been really lax recently hooping, so much pruning and needed in the garden right now !! So I had a ball.

2 hours is so much better than just a one hour session.

I put a vid on google video: video.google.co.uk/videoplay
