MOVE IT

The London Underground being what it is, most weekends about half the lines are shut. In addition to the lines being shut, a lot of the stations are being overhauled. This means that escalators are not working amongst other things.

It was most amusing that one of the first times that I came across an instance of a stationary escalator, there was a bunch of people who looked perplexed as to what they should do. Have we become so sedentary that we depend on contraptions to ease absolutely any physical activity?

Speaking of which, I have traditionally shirked regular exercise or going to the gym. When I look back at pictures of old, I feel ever so more conscious that I need to get healthy (which does not mean rounder). It is way past the time for a new year’s resolution but it is never too late to do something that is good.
