The farmer must take the chicken across first (leaving the fox and the corn on river bank A). He then takes the fox across second, but instead of leaving the fox with the chicken, he swaps the fox for the chicken (taking the chicken back to the river bank A). He then swaps the chicken out for the corn, bringing the corn over to be with the fox on river bank B. Lastly, he goes back for the chicken and brings it to river bank B.

The picture was used in a case study on stress levels at St. Mary’s Hospital. Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are essentially identical. A closely monitored, scientific study revealed that, in spite of the fact that the dolphins are so similar, a person under stress would find many differences between the two dolphins. The more differences a person finds between the dolphins, the more stress that person is experiencing.
Look at the image and, if you find more than one or two differences, you may want to enjoy a really relaxing holiday…

Do you enjoy solitude and reflection?
Do people tell you you’re a "good listener"?
Do you find small talk draining?
But enjoy deep meaningful conversations with close friends?
If so, you may be an introvert!
1 out of every 2 people is introverted so chances are, you are one or you're the partner/parent/sibling/friend/coworker of one (so this is relevant to you too!)
WHAT's in this workshop:
1. Intro to the psychological concepts of introversion and extroversion
2. Unpacking the extrovert ideal (and how this impacts introverts)
3. Empowering and practical tips on how to thrive as an introvert
4. Food for thought: little introverts and the education system

My 12 year old daughter is a developing and enthusiastic potter, and is now producing a lot of her own work on her own wheel.
We are hoping that there may be someone on the vicinity with a working kiln that would considering firing her work for her from time to time.
We would be happy to pay a commercial rate for access.
Many thanks.

Choose a colour
That makes you smile
And wear it around
For a while
Then pass it on
To whom you meet
And you will find
A world that is pleasant to greet

Offering free exercise
Hi everyone,

I’m Kim, a certified personal trainer, and I work at the City Fitness in Three Kings. I am also certified in Corrective Exercise.
Since we are in lockdown for at least another 2 weeks, I wanted to offer my services online. I can only assume that most of you will be sitting all day, especially when it’s raining.
Sitting for long periods of time is detrimental to good posture and healthy movement. This is why I would like to offer my services for free.
I will give you full body exercises and stretches that won’t take up much of your time. So, if you’re working, you should still be able to (hopefully) fit them in and you could even get the family involved. The important thing is to get up from your chair and move.
Even if you’re not interested in doing exercise, there are still a few things you could do to improve movement, like:
Set an alarm every hour and:
- walk around the house and stretch your legs,
- roll your shoulders and neck,
- stretch your chest and back.
If you’re interested in a bit of exercise, send me an email on kimmekehoffmann@gmail.com or message me privately here on Neighbourly.
Thank you,
Kim
