Go jogging, bungy jumping, rock climbing, put on some load music and dance, watch sky/digital and immerse youself in a film, try crochet or knitting, jigsaw puzzle, crossword, yoga, bake a cake (to celebrate!), clean your room, paint a picture,or sit in the garden, relax, sunbathe (plenty of cream) and STOP worrying!

Found it / them - not about a tortoise at all. Here we go then. Why do ducks have flat feet? To stamp out forest fires Why do Elephants have flat feet? To stamp out burning ducks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why do elephants paint their feet yellow? To hide upside down in bowls of custard Have you ever seen an elephant upside down in your custard? Then it must work -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How do you get elephants to go into a Mini Cooper? Tell them there's custard in there -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How do you know that an elephant has been in your fridge? Yellow footprints in the egg tray -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How do you tell if there is an elephant in your fridge? Footprints in the butter.

Lucia - you think of other things - remember it takes more muscles to frown than to smile and smiling makes you look pretty. STOP WORRYING> Ann

There was an old man in France who used to get up every morning at five A.M. He would then go and sprinkle a white powder on the roads. When he was asked what he was sprinkling on the roads, he answered that it was elephant powder. The person then remarked 'But everybody knows that there are no elephants in France!' to which he answered 'I guess it must be working then!'
