READING AND LISTENING

Walk or cycle for 'a happier commute'

For many people commuting is a necessary evil. Most see going by car or van as the 'least worst' option. This study by the researchers at the University of East Anglia challenges that assumption.

It suggests walking, cycling or travelling by public transport can lift the mood. Crucially, it suggests those who switch from the car to an active commute feel better across a range of psychological measures, including concentration, decision making and the ability to face up to problems.

The researchers say policies encouraging people to leave their cars at home could have a dramatic impact on public wellbeing.

WORD OF THE WEEK

hard to swallow

Something that someone has said is hard to swallow if it's difficult to believe.

For example:

• His excuse for coming late was a bit hard to swallow, don't you think?
• I find a lot of Jack's stories hard to swallow, but I still enjoy hearing them even if they aren't entirely true.

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters

So close no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words I don't just say

And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you

Every day for us something new

Open mind for a different view

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

But I know

So close no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

But I know

Never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words I don't just say

And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you

Every day for us something new

Open mind for a different view

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say

Never cared for games they play

I never cared for what they do

I never cared for what they know

And I know

So close no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters
