Monday morning and it is pouring with rain - but I think this is the first time this year - that I can recall - when I have wanted to go outside to exercise on the trampoline and found that it was too wet - usually that would not stop me going outside, but the surface of the trampoline becomes slippery enough to be dangerous for me these days.

I have 'only' pulled muscles in past years, but every year I get that bit more rickety, so despite my work history involving testing to destruction, I find a reluctance to try the same thing on myself.
