Hello autumnal glory
Today's walk on the common was like the realisation of Georgian poetry (not surprising, I suppose, given that in the early 1900s you couldn't spit in this area without hitting a poet or other literary figure or an occasional artist). It was glorious clear sunny and somewhat chill autumn weather. The trees have not yet quite started turning. It was spectacular.
(Also, if I wasn't right out in front I was pretty close and not trailing in the rear yelling 'Wait for meeeee!' in between my pants and gasps.)
Found an entirely new (to me) and delightful Thing in the spa bath today. In one corner there is a jacuzzi type thing that bubbles and foams when you press the button, but at the other there is a Thing that you press its button and it whooshes out a cascade of water from on high that is absolutely brilliant pummelling for one's back and shoulders. No idea what it's called.
Did a Pilates class this pm, which was a bit basic, as they tend to be as an open class for all levels, but then I haven't done a class for ages (since I was last here, probably) and it is good to revise the basics.
Was less impressed with the Relax and Unwind session. I am never very taken with Visualisation Techniques, and tend to pick holes in the narrative ('Can meadow flowers really be described as jewel-like?' 'Those humming clouds of insects - do any of them bite?' 'Wrapping up one's stresses and throwing them into a pool sound environmentally dodgy to me), and today the room was cold enough that at least she should have either advised us all to take 2 blankets, or done rather more in the way of warm-up breathing and stretching.
