Desk Stretches – upper body

^{Collected from Healthline}

I wanted a quick reference for some simple shoulder/upper body stretches as I these are something I should do more often…

I know these stretches, I know I feel better after doing them.
When I am tired, tight, and hurting I can never remember any of them though!

Said this week by a human

To me, not ironically.

But… I don’t want to have to struggle.

The Context?

You know you’re Australian if…

You think ‘Woolloomooloo’ is a perfectly reasonable name for a place.
Beetroot with your Hamburger… Of course.
You know that certain words must, by law, be shouted out during any rendition of the Angels’ song ‘Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again’ And “Living next door to Alice”.
You’re secretly proud of our killer wildlife.
You know what it’s like to swallow a fly, on occasion via your nose.
You understand that ‘excuse me’ can sound rude, While ‘scuse me’ is always polite.
You know that there is a universal place called “woop woop” located in the middle of nowhere…no matter where you actually are.
You say ‘no worries’ quite often, whether you realise it or not.
You’ve drank your tea/coffee/milo through a Tim Tam.
You understand what no wucking furries means.
You know that roo meat tastes pretty good, But not as good as barra. Or a meat pie.

“You can disagree with me if you’re wrong.”
Unsolved No More

Assumptions about why people do things are so often wildly wrong. When it comes to some choices, we often are not sure why we have certain preferences until we have had time to examine an idea more closely.

If you look up the definition of “folx” on the internet, you will most likely find all manner of outrage. From accusations of ‘wokeness’ and ‘inclusivity gone mad’ to the ‘destruction of language’. Is it though?
