there is no spoon

After a bad terrible day with Dad yesterday today was really good for the soul, went along to the community day in Wivenhoe and spent a lot of time with Emily and Dexter, I hadn't seen Dexter for 2 months and the difference between this blip compared with today I find striking, he has become a proper little boy. Love him! edit - it pleases me that this day last year was also spent with Dexter and his mummy, that was a lovely evening!

a major highlight was taking advantage of a shiatsu taster session by the river, Steve was very generous with his time and I felt like I was walking on air (apparently he was using his knee to apply pressure to my tight stressed back!) I have booked up for a proper session in a couple of weeks time, I think I can justify regular sessions as your spine is so very important and I need to drain all the tension I hold there.

Afterwards Caroline came to my parents and we all had a nice catch up, it was good for my Dad to engage in conversation (a shared love of fishing) and then my mum was plying Caroline with all sorts of garden stuff. She is like an extra daughter to them and certainly the closest I'll ever have to a sister.
