It’s always good to see a new face on the blogscape. A friend of mine, Sam, has recently started to blog – maybe if you’ve got a few moments you’ll check out her blog at http://www.sambutler5.com/Blog/ or perhaps add it to your RSS feed. Happy Blogging Sam!
In the last few sessions at the gym, when I have gone to shower afterwards I have found the shower cubicle I usually use occupied. Needless to say, I found a free cubicle and showered away. However, it made me think about how we tend to have preferences in our day lives. We probably are [...]
