I heard this song on the radio 'Solo' -Clean Bandit feat. Demi Lovato. Now, I know there are 75,000,000 potential P back scratcher's out there and difficult to find them, so my excuse is, I prefer going... Solo. This excuse makes me happy 😁

In this week's newspaper I read that people who have regular sex have better immune system function than those who don't. Maybe this is a great natural way to boost the immune system. That would be great! I didn't know this til yesterday... 👍
