Hot Stone Therapy

I have had a fantastic day. For my 50th birthday, Marjory and Forrest got me a voucher for Pure Spa at Silverburn, and I do enjoy a spa experience so it was a very thoughtful gift. Well I don't know where the past ten months have gone, but I decided that it was high time to use my voucher and the October holiday seemed like an ideal opportunity. I decided to have a hot stone treatment because I have never had one before so I thought it would be fun. I arrived at Silverburn in plenty of time and booked in at the spa. The treatment was excellent! The therapist was friendly and explained everything; it was a massage using hot stones and aromatic oil which smelt very lemony and fresh. She asked if I had any sore muscles and I said no, but when she was massaging me she homed in on my right shoulder a lot, which has indeed been a little stiff over the past week, I noticed it at Fit Steps on Monday. She said that I was very tense and my shoulder muscles had hard knots in them, and she asked if I was stressed. Well it has been a very challenging couple of months at school! After the treatment I was shown into the relaxation room where I drank some apple juice. I felt great afterwards - energised AND relaxed at the same time. I texted Marjory to say thanks and she texted back to say that they were en route to Tyndrum on their West Highland Way holiday.
David had his third driving lesson today - a mere four hours today, after his two six hour days! He says that it is going well and that he has been doing three point turns, except that they are not called that any more, they are now called "road turns". He has been going round roundabouts too and reversing. No word from Aleks yet on when he should sit his test. I found out yesterday that David's driving instructor is Albanian, which was interesting because I have never met an Albanian person before. He has a lovely accent. He moved here in the 1990s when his brother Rudy was playing for Celtic. When they arrived back at the house they saw a car leaving. "I know that man. He is delivery driver. You are going to have takeaway." Aleks was right!
