So, a few years ago,I was on a keep fit buzz. I tried everything from aerobics to zumba. I even went line dancing.😄

I heard that Olivia Newton John song on the radio today and it reminded me of one of my more adventurous attempts.

• What are you doing under the stairs ma?
• I’m looking for Kylies old roller blades.
• For what ma?
• For knitting a pair of gloves, what do you think?
• Calm down, I’m only asking.
• Have you seen them? I was sure they were under here.
• Did da not sell them in the car boot sale last year?
• Ah for fuck sake, he did not…did he?
• You’re the one who told him to get rid of the shite from under the stairs.
• And for once he did as I told him to, for feck sake, MEN!
• Never mind what’s under the stairs, ma. What the hell are you wearing?
• You can see what I’m wearing Koko.
• A leotard and leg warmers…OMG, hang on ’til I get me phone.
• Do not attempt to take a photo of me Koko, I’m warning you.
• That headband but ma, what are you like?
• Feck off, I’m not that bad am I?
• I’m saying nothing, but holy god ma, are you thinking of going out like that…on roller blades?
• Well not anymore, now that I’ve no roller blades, anyway I was only going to go down the garden path.
• Down on your face more like. When was the last time you went on blades?
• I had a pair of skates when I was 12.
• Ah ma, you really are gas. You’ll break your neck.
• I broke my leg when I was 12. Your nanny threw the skates in the bin.
• Just as well da did a clear out so.
• But, I was watching Xanadu on Netflix and Olivia Newton John made it all look so easy.
• You pissed your knickers when you tried running with auntie Julie, can you imagine what would happen on roller blades?
• Yeah, you’re right Koko. Who am I kidding, I’m too old for this lark.
• You’re not old ma, but…
• But what?
• Lose the headband and leg warmers, the eighties are over
• Not a word to your da about this, do you hear me!
• I wouldn’t say a thing ma, but can I just take one photo to show Kylie
• Feck off.

What was I thinking?🤣
