A couple of weeks ago, I looked at a study on how engaging with the arts in our later years could be as effective for slowing down ageing as movement and exercise is.

And it's got many of you thinking, including listener Bill.

Michael, could you read this, please?

Oh, thank you, Bill.

That's a lovely message.

And I'm glad Bill is enjoying himself.

And I'm glad that art for art's sake is now art for health's sake as well.

What about you two, Sandy, Michael?

Do either of you take time out of your busy schedules as science journalists or in Michael, your case, mango farmer to paint and craft?

that you just get more and more eclectic by the by the moment ice carving wow i mean presumably questions yes yeah go on sandy where do you get the ice from um

Well, that was my next question.

It's usually 30 plus degrees C in Nairobi.

And, you know, you take your ice out of the fridge freezer to carve and then you've got to puddle fairly quickly afterwards.

What's your favorite thing to carve?

Right.

Top that, Sandy.

I can't.

I have a really boring answer.

So let's just move on.

OK, moving on, we have in our inbox more excellent frog photos from you.
