Pictures of Emm
In a gloomy world, it is always comforting to learn that the way we are and the way we live our lives are not all bad news. I remember, for example, how pleased I was to hear that early-morning jogging (as seen whenever Emma and I holidaying at the seaside) isn’t all it’s cracked up to be - conveniently forgetting, of course, that my more sedentary lifestyle hasn’t got much to recommend it, either. And we are so used to hearing food experts tell us we are slowly poisoning ourselves that it comes as a welcome surprise that something we love can actually be good for us - although such experts will always cover their backs by adding the cautionary words “in moderation”. The occasional glass of red wine can be beneficial. Hoorah! Dark chocolate does you far more good than harm. Double hoorahs. On a similar theme, Emma was particularly delighted to see a recent report that people with plump thighs are less likely to suffer a heart attack than those with skinny thighs. Yippee!
