Lovely to see members sending in their ‘funnies’ for our Chit Chat column. This one comes from Elaine McGlinchey, Kawerau Grey Power:
“Quite a few years ago I was visiting my sister, a very fit and regular gym-goer. We were having coffee with her like-minded friends when she said she could, “hold a plank for 60 seconds”. I had never heard of plank exercises and blurted out “So what. It depends on how long and heavy the plank is.”
Waitakere member, Anne Martin has again come to Chit Chat’s party with this happy little tale:
“An armchair in our house was claimed as their ‘exclusive property’ by both my husband and our gorgeous ginger cat, Tigger. However, it was a question of who got there first!
“If my husband had been out and the cat spotted the car arriving home there would be a fast-moving, ginger streak, diving through the door and settling into ‘his’ chair much to my husband’s chagrin.
“If husband got there first, Tigger would immediately climb onto his lap and curl up for a sleep. Then, if the weather was very cold, Tigger went a step further, stretching his body up to contentedly wrap his paws around hubby’s neck.
“The irony of it all was that my husband wasn’t really a cat lover. This still makes us laugh.”
