I had company all today as Danny visited, bringing not-so-little "I" with him. We went to the playground on the Groe, and walked ("I" ran) up to the bridge crossing the Irfon, and then got some lunch/eggs/milk and the girls spent the afternoon hiding under various beds, as "I" is a little noisy and excitable.
Danny got a static shock every time he pretended to grab "I" as she went past.
It was lovely to have company again, and I'd not seen Danny since we all met up at Aberystwyth, to remember Keith, back in July.
These were the Lemons all cooked up and ready to depip and be chopped small for the Lemon Marmalade. Of course, they were cooked very soft by then and were squidgy to chop up!
I got 4 big jars from £1's worth of lemons and a bag of sugar.
Just after tea yesterday, I had a visit from a lovely couple who are staying with my new neighbour. He has some lovely guests who he meets at the Meditation Centre in Hereford. The wife, in this case, does Thai massage and so they had come up so she could see if she could help my shoulder pain. My golly gosh, DIDN'T she make a difference. Even just talking to them helped me emotionally. Her husband does counselling of people with problems, and was telling me all about the Meditation Centre and the form of meditation that happens there. They are such LOVELY people - oh how I wish they didn't have to go back home to France. After they had left I felt very calm and contemplative, and slightly less emotional. When I am bereft of sleep, my emotions are close to the surface.
Anyway, last night I slept SO well. Went through from 11 to 6 a.m. and then back to sleep until gone 8 a.m. My shoulder is so much more comfortable now. I am having another massage tomorrow and doing some yoga too. I need to get back to that.
I will try and do the church write up tomorrow. I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.
Good positive things all round.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. I've met the right people at the right time. SO good to see Danny again too.
DeleteHow wonderful that the neighbours guests came to see if they could help you. I am so glad you got a great nights sleep.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
They are genuinely lovely people.
DeleteLovely that your son and little "I" came to visit. It sounds like you had a very nice visit. Also wonderful the neighbor's visitor was able to help your shoulder and help you feel better. Pain can really interrupt sleep, and nothing good comes of that! Glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI wish I saw more of them, but Danny is chauffeur for I" and her mum. My neighbour has some really interesting people staying, from all around the world.
DeleteThe pain was very debilitating. Better now but not completely gone yet.
Hello there ... I have popped over to visit your blog & also to thank you for the sweet, kind comments you have left me on my blog. I am so sorry to read of your sore shoulder but also pleased to read that the massage has helped. I agree with you ... when we don't get sleep, everything else seems like such a mountain to climb. I do hope your shoulder & your sleep continue to improve. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Julie, thanks for visiting. I have to be careful with any sewing right now - dropping my head to look at what I am doing doesn't help matters.
DeleteI am so glad that you have found something to help with your shoulder. What a head of hair on I! It looks like a a day filled with small joys.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are here for another 10 days so will continue to help. "I" certainly DOES have a good head of hair! It was a day of small joys and positives.
DeleteObviously that was the medicine that you needed! I hope that your shoulder continues to improve and that you continue to feel better. Have a happy Sunday! Sal 😁
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. I have learned so much the past two days - I will try and share it in due course.
DeleteThat is such good news about your visitors helping your shoulder and helping you to feel better too with a good nights sleep.
ReplyDeleteI am SO grateful to them.
DeleteA lovely massage is just what the Dr ordered .
ReplyDeleteThe marmalade looks delicious and such good value. Homemade beats any marmalade bought in the shops.

I think the Thai massage is more effective than the Chiro massage machine as it works in a different way to free things up. Homemade jams and marmalades are SO much better than boughten.
DeleteYou know that is a fare way to run from the Groe to that bridge, I'd have been whacked doing that bad enough climbing up Aberedw heart rate goes through the roof
ReplyDeleteShe and Danny stopped a few times, for me to catch up! She hates walking but was happy to run! Which route do you use to get up Aberedw?
