Re: walking into things
I work in central London and walk a mile from the station to my office. It is obviously very busy, but I like to get up a speed.

Re: A big hello from Nick
Has anyone had a go at memory training?. I had a lesson on it and read a few books. It is a question of keeping it up and using it all the time. Not that I managed it but thats the theory.
