Some of you know my Pops is a Yoga teacher. He went into it after retiring. Since then, he has helped lots of people with his classes. And today I found out he is even on YouTube! A friend of his asked for a video regarding knee problems and pressure points, and massages to help. Since then, well it’s not quite viral. But over 400 views! Bless him!So, meet my Precious Pops!
(Not quite sure why it’s been classified comedy. .. but hey! )

I must admit that this week, the prompt threw me! I’m not saying I take a perfect shot all the time, bit most of the photos that would fit the prompt had my kids in them. ..and I operate on a no kids photo policy!
The prompt…
1. Choose a photo that you’ve taken that shows something or someone in the wrong position.
2. Create a new post on your blog entitled “Hugh’s Photo Challenge: Week 14 – Wrong Position.”
3. Add the photo(s) you have taken to the post and tell us a little about what you are showing.
4. Create a pingback to this post or leave a link to your post in the comments section below so that other participants can view your post.
So I went back… way back… nearly 40 years back and found this doozy! Yup…that’s me!
A lovely pic! I hear you tease
But what’s that swaying in the breeze?
Not leaves or branches, birds or trees
Only a pair of my dad’s undies!

Enjoy!!!!!

So, earlier, I posed a question to all of my lovely Blogily, as I wanted to learn how to set up an Audio file that I could then download onto WP, so that when I felt brave, I could read my poetry, or even a post, or fiction, and you could hear me, instead of read me, if you know what I mean!
I am not keen to go down the YouTube route, as I didn’t want my face out there too much!
As usual, all you wonderful folk flock together to answer these questions, and there are always pearls of wisdom within these post comments. For lots of suggestions, click here.
Graeme and Steve both suggested Soundcloud, and I have heard of it before, but had never used it. So off I went to explore…
And it is great! I also downloaded the app to my phone! So, there is an option to record, then you save it and it can be public or private. I used private, but that’s my choice! There is then an option to share, and when you click that, a link comes up. I just copied and pasted that into my post, and there it was!
Magic! I highly recommend it all!
If there is any post you want to hear me read, which ever it may be, jot me a line in the comments, and if I am brave enough, I will do that for you!
