Also all this relaxation perhaps not entirely conducive to cerebration.
However, I have been given to think by a post on my rlist about those things that are never part of formal education for a particular profession but would be at least as, if not more useful, in the ongoing practice of that profession.

Well, the internet connection is still rather uppy-downy, but the tablet is seeming rather better-behaved, touch wood (with some intermittent hiccups, as just now, but that could have been the connection having a faint spell).
So, there have been walks, and although it is quite cold and there have been showers, these have held off during actual ( Read more... )

(Enquiring minds wish to know, why clouds so lonely? This pm they were thickly plastered over the entire sky. Also, does l as a c actually mean, with sister D, who drew attention to some daffs.)
Because I missed the start of the walk, on account of a) treatment over-running b) reception having failed to notice that walk party had already left, ( Read more... )

Okay, lovely to be at Grayshott, and the weather, if a bit chill, seems fine.
Arrived in very good time - and my room was ready! - and although there was the traditional rescheduling of appointments (even though I always emphasise my preferences for when), I then had a lovely session in the now restored steam room.

I have already mentioned the strenuous physical exercise - there were ( Read more... )

On this day, 1714. Succeeded by the Hanoverian dynasty, of which, really, the most positive thing that can be said is: Hey, at least they're not Bourbons or Hapsburgs, yay?

Things I have vaguely thought about posting about: loneliness (because various people have); people who are all about grabbing all of the attention (and why this is so ( Read more... )

Yesterday. I had to fit in a sauna, a flex 'n stretch class, a gym session, the usual walk on the common (particularly great), a facial, and a 'Chi Harmony' treatment.

Totally rush, rush, rush, eh?

There was another bout of WiFi connectivity problems whereby I was eventually catching up with the virtual world after dinner, in the public lounge.

Even if, not that this has not been encountered before, weird WiFi problems.

But, anyway, arrived this morning and the balance is all pretty much on the positive side.

Okay, steam room temporarily out of commission but had an excellent sauna.

Wonderful walk - although it was raining when I arrived it fined up by walk-time.

Room upgrade!
