COME ON NUOVA LAZIANS - JAZZ UP YOUR LIFE

Having read a recent post about one of Nuova Lazio's senior citizens going away for a fun packed weekend I thought that others could benefit from a bit of livening up also.

Lets start with a motivational video to charge you up before setting off on some activities that I'm sure will be a step up from your daily routine.



1. Mini Golf.

Not for the faint hearted this exciting activity was created with you in mind. Believe it or not this is one sport where zimmer frames not only can be used but can actually be beneficial giving something to lean on while waiting for your fellow gamesters to have their shots.



2. Painting.

This can be an indoor or outdoor activity so you don't have to worry about the weather (but don't stop telling everyone about it - they love to hear your little observations).
If outdoor, choose something safe and sensible like a fence. Paint it beige or white - something normal and don't forget to write a post in your blog about it. At least one photograph, square on is desirable.
If indoors of course you can paint a wall or a ceiling but why not consider a canvas. A landscape is best or a picture of a boat preferably floating on water. Don't do any portraits unless they are of Asian women painted on black velvet. Remember your audience!



3. Shopping.

This can be done at home on-line or anywhere outside. Shopping Malls, garage sales, outdoor markets, and Jackson Street Petone is best.
Plan your trip. Have a list handy at all times. Never buy anything without trying on or out at least 10 options. Don't buy from the first shop visited and if possible avoid buying anything at all. Shoe shops are best followed by clothes then furnituure and furnishings. Always have a husband or children in tow. To witness the greatest effect on them make sure you visit at least one drapery so you can check out curtain material, dressmaking items and if you are lucky they will also stock bed linen  and pillows. Enjoy!



4. Gardening.

Knock down any structures outside and dig everything up. Make sure you put in lots of grass that needs mowing. An ornamental pond is a necessity. Put statues of birds, fish and animals in interesting situations. Design clever flower patches and build a wooden vegetable garden container or two. Grow vegetables. Lots of them. When ready tell everyone about them and even take some to work to share.




5. Go to a double bass concert.

Being invigorated by clipping the lawn and still feeling like a bit of excitement why not check out a double bass concert. Tickets are usually easy to come by; if someone hasn't poked some under your door just check out the rubbish bins on the street. There is usually an old guy in Cuba Mall playing something but with your free tickets you might as well go to Nuova Lazios auditorium where there will be plenty of leg room.
All the best!
