Louise,

Get yourself down the swimming baths, does help the asthma with extra humidity and good to maintain the fitnees for the dance.

Andrew, if you were not a man of the cloth I would say you were taking the Michael

I swim at least twice a week. Tap dancing and swimming are the only two forms of exercise that i have found were you don't have to ask what to do.

Oh tap dance that's lovely, I always admired Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire.
I do 2 types of dance, Bharatanatyam, which is classical Indian dance, and the dance I will be performing is western contemporary, I studied the Martha Graham technique of contemporary dance & ballet in my youth. I reckon we should start the KC dance group or do a dance day to raise money

I am dancing on friday and saturday in panto so are my two girls. I am not very good but i love dance .Just got to make it back stage in the dark!

[Louise Pembroke]

Good luck Anne.
Know what you mean Gareth but I'm not brave enough to swim too self-conscious of my scars.
Feel better this morning after hitting the sleepers [and so does the lens], just going to take it easy to enable my recovery and do things which keep me calm.

My sister (the one who was in Africa, not the one who lives in spain) tells me that while she was in the Rain Forrest she never had an asthma attack.

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the relatively high humidity, or the heavy scent of exotic plants in the air, or the tranquil sounds of the monkeys hooping, the Chimpanzees chattering, the tree frogs rasping and the elephants leaning on trees to get them out of the way!

Maybe it was a combination of all these.

Certainly it can't have been a matter of the life style being less stressful: when driving her car to villages near the centre she would often have to stop to allow large mamals to cross the road, or scratch themselves on her vehicle, or nibble her radio antenna to see if it would be good to eat

I guess that being tranquil at a time when you are excited about a trip to the Far East is a bit of a tall order, but know tha then you go you will carry the thoughts and prayers of us all!

By the way, although singapore is a modern bustling city, it is still very close to rain forrest. Any gap site is quickly colonized by plants and, in the event that people left for 20 years and then returned, they would probably find it hard to locate the buildings in the midst of the tangle of vegitation that would ahve grown! enoy your trip. If you have a chance, go to Raffles hotel (even just for a cup of coffee) It is an amazing remnant of a bye-gone era!

Yes I've been told to have a 'singapore sling' cocktail at Raffles, know what's in it?
I've been told people visiting India that their asthma/excema has cleared up too
