How to do the Beena

April 30th 2005
Morning has broken
What bliss is this
To see the morn so glorious
In its golden dawn.

Corny as it may sound, this is how I feel - exulting in the beauty of the morning especially after a brisk Beena. Intrigued?
How to do a Beena.
First take out your good pair of walking shoes and fancy socks.
Then wear your tracks, a hint of lipstick,
clutch on to a hankie which is used to delicately wipe the beads of sweat that may collect on your brow.
Summon the lift and go downstairs.
Wave pathetically at the few people hanging around and begin the slow, lethargic walk around the periphary of the garden -
Do this absolutely slow movement at a regular pace of 1 step a minute for around 40 minutes.
The Beena done every day will ensure that your heart rate never goes up, your soles never get worn but watch those pounds drop!!!!!
Well, the rest of the morning beckons so off I go to the Limpopo

All ears
While I was waiting at the photographers yesterday, I witnessed this : a portly gentleman came in a great big rush. Panting up to the counter, he asked for his passport photograph done ASAP.
The photgrapher in question looked up through his spectacles and crinkled up his nose and pointed to the gentleman's white shirt. Shaking his head he informed him that in a white shirt and against a white background, his face would look very funny positioned in limbo as it were. So he suggested a light blue shirt at best. The gentleman was about to leave when the photographer told him that his ears wouldn't be seen.
What do the ears have to do with this? asked the man getting more and more agitated
The photographer elucidated : A new Govt requirement is that a person's ears should be visible in the passport photograph.
With the man's heavy jowls covering his ears he had no option but to tape some blue tack behind his ears so that they stuck out in the photo! But what does he do at Immigration and Customs when his ears hide behind his jowly scowl?
I woudn't be surprised if he hijacks the plane!
