I think this is only the 2nd time I've posted any photos on here of the aerial yoga classes I go to. I keep wondering if I'm getting too old for it - it's bloody hard work and it's really tough on my body. But there's nothing else like it. Life really is better upside-down.

music.apple.com/gb/album/a-d... Really enjoyed listening to this band today. Thanks to @wedigmusic.bsky.social for introducing me. You should all like trains now.

It's not my finest review but I'll take the 5 seconds of fame. Go buy the album, you won't regret it. Or if you do, it's your fault not mine and get some new ears!
