A homage to Bruce Forsyth

Today is Bruce Forsyth’s 80^th birthday. Bruce Forsyth is a remarkable man who looks (and acts) nowhere near what one expects of most 80 year olds. He is married to former Miss World (from Puerto Rico) who is a shade over 30 years his junior.

I have always been a fan of Brucie since I learned that when he was about to wed the former Miss World, his probably concerned future mother-in-law gave him a book called Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth. What it contained was The Five Tibetan Rites – a series of yoga exercises to be practised every day. These keep your body youthful and your energy levels high.

And from what I understand, Bruce gets up every morning at 6.30 and does the exercises. Then he has porridge made with soya milk and blueberries. He also follows a strict diet with lots of fruit and vegetables and doesn’t drink much.

As I mentioned in my last blog, it is self discipline and sticking at it that get results. A few minutes language-learning a day will keep your tongue nice and supple!

So, from The Cupboard to Brucie – Auguri and buon compleanno!
