Good posture is not something that was ever hammered home to me in my younger years, so my body has a whole repertoir of slouches, and lounges with which to torture my poor spine and lower back. It was ony last year, during the five minute training session for my new ergonomically sound office chair that I was informed of the need to ensure that my elbows are supported, otherwise I will end up with tight shoulder and upper back muscles. And there was me thinking that this was what sitting in a chair all day was supposed to do to you.
After the delivery and setup and training, my shoulder and back pains disappeared within a week. Not bad for something that hd been happening to me for over ten years. That something as simple as a pair of adjustable arm rests could have sucha startling effect amazed me.
So that's why I just splashed out on an office chair with arm-rests for when I'm working from home.
I'm now a lot less tense by lunch-time.

A favourite part of my formative years was the "play what I wrote" on the Morcambe and Wise show. I hope I'll be able to stand in their shadow - way back in their shadow.
Not that I'll manage to be amusing, nor will anything I scrawl here be as well crafted. But I'll be happy if I manage to ignore my own social programming and allow a little of their anarchy, irreverance, intelligence, wit and humour to make their way onto these pages. I doubt it will happen, but I can dream.
