Mark’s 210k for NHS

Hi Everyone – I’ve decided to use my daily exercise time to do something positive. For the next three weeks of lockdown, I’m going to run a 10k trail every day. I’ll be in the Downs, away from everyone, pounding 210k in total.

If you are able, please would you sponsor me? I’d like to raise £1000 to support the NHS.

I promise you a few beautiful ( and silly ) photos along the way. Let’s do something together.

BIG thank you, Love Markie X .

ROCK UP SURF MOVIES

Rock Up Surf movie night, 11th May 2013

We are thrilled to announce the return of “Rock Up” – A surf movie night on the rock face in Rottingdean. Last year was a great success and we are back for more.

This years main movie of choice is “Stoked & Broke” courtesy of kourdroy tv.

Our chosen charities for the event are the RNLI and Surfers Against Sewage and we aim to do our best to make this a fabulous event for both causes.

Much like last year it will be a case of ….Rock up, with your mates, you can get there anytime as it is a great little spot anyway to watch the sun drop and get together but the films will start from 9:30 onwards due to being able to project onto the rock face we need it to be dark.

Bring something comfy to sit on and preferably a blanket or two as it may get chilly later into the evening. The nights entertainment will be compared by Jock Paterson with guest speakers to be confirmed and a selection of short movies from local artists. Lets hope and pray for starry skies again.

Penny Young

TO MY DEAR FRIEND PENNY

We had the most terrible news yesterday that our dear friend Penny Young passed away. We could not have seen this coming she was full of life and looked so fit and healthy. I am just going to copy a piece from her blog and show everyone what a wonderful person she was. Love you Penny XXX

I feel passionately that we’re not using the expertise, the wisdom, the fun of older people.

MY VISION: A SOCIETY WHERE EVERYONE OVER 50 IS ADMIRED

MY UTOPIA

All ages share with each other on an equal basis
No-one retires anymore – we just change direction
All elders are loved as icons – treasure chests of wisdom,precious and revered
Older people are as passionate and take as many risks as they did when they were younger.
I live to at least 100 years old and am healthy and happy
At some point I keel over or choose to end life with dignity in the place I want to be, surrounded by the people I choose to be with
I’m not afraid to live and I’m not afraid to die.

Be the Age You are in Your Mind – Grow Old the “Young” Way

We each experience three ages:
•your chronological age which is the number of years you have been on earth (this time round)
•your biological age and that can be younger or older than your chronological age depending on how you’ve looked after yourself
•and your ‘essence age’.

‘Essence Age’

This is the most important ‘age’ for you. It’s the age you always think of yourself, the age of your inner essence, and it can be any age you want it to be, regardless of how many years you have lived.

When I ask anyone what age they are in their heads, without thinking about it, they almost always come up with a number that is different from their actual age. Someone who is 55 may tell me that he’s always been 22 in his head. We all have an Essence age and mostly it’s younger. That’s the age by which we can live our lives.

At some point in your life – it could be 40, 50, 60 or above, you’ll wake up one morning and realise that you don’t want to conform to anyone else’s values or rules but your own. This is a key sign of maturing and being happy with who you are. It heralds a new way of being for you. And it may bring major changes to the way you live your daily life and to how you achieve your dreams.

I love working with individuals who want to make positive changes in their lives.

Most of my career has been in project management, facilitation and strategic planning within the public and private sector. I’ve also managed a career in radio journalism/production and I’m a qualified recruitment consultant.

I’m currently researching and writing a book about celebrating enjoying being older. “How to Age Magnificently” is based on research on all aspects of the ageing process and backed up with interviews with a host of celebrities and interesting people who are enjoying their later years.

DAY IN THE LIFE OF BRIGHTON

CYCLING VID

New Bowie

Bad news for the authors of the blog Tilda Stardust, a noble attempt to prove that David Bowie and British actor Tilda Swinton are one and the same person through the painstaking juxtaposition of photos of the pair. Because here she is, starring in the video to Bowie’s second single from The Next Day, The Stars (Are Out Tonight), as his happily married wife.

Never mind that Dave and Tilda don’t necessarily make the most convincing suburban couple. Soon their life is interrupted by new noisy neighbours, a celebrity couple played by Andrej Pejic and Saskia De Brauw.

Directed by Floria Sigismondi and shot by Jeff Cronenweth, the video is certainly a striking piece of work – dealing with androgyny and musing on the meaning of fame, and illuminating the meaning of the lyrics. (In his review of the album, Alexis Petridis has already tried to work out just what exactly Bowie’s banging on about throughout the new album.)
