The weekend just gone...


kernackered!!!! woke at 4am on saturday to get ready for flight to gatwick that left at 7.20am...why am I always too early??? Fly Be plane was only half full..bliss...could snore for a short while, got to lecture in Old Street, London by 9.30am..how mad is that? sooooo easy.....
anyway, after that great lecture on Knee & Foot, it was off to Brighton to be fed and looked after by mother, who goes to yoga twice a week as her pilates teacher is dull..no jokes in class..yawnsville...so I did a 1:1 on her in the conservatory...whats neutral? whats the TA? why dont teachers tell them what they are doing??bless..shes nearly 70 and looks 50, but has arthritis in toes and thumbs, she still works 4 days a week in a Solicitors office and has spent all her life typing. She has claw toes, has had 2 bunion operations in each foot, but had a tattoo on her shoulder at 60 (!) makes me look frumpy and has her grey hair cut in a funky spiky style, no elasticated skirts from M & S for her!
Day 2 , Sunday, was a , so off to London again...this time the day was a workshop I had booked being held by a mid sixties chap, Alan Herdman, looked 20 years younger, very inspiring, motivating, thoughtful, works with rehab people a lot, has modifications for all types of people, and I had a great day, I didnt feel useless as was expecting a load of posh pilates london type teachers in expensive exercise gear attending, and I actually had a dream the night before that they were putting me down as being scruffy and messy and there was no way I should be there and hoisted me out of the building!!! fears were unfounded of course, though one woman was a bit full of herself and didnt stop talking about how great she was, god she was dull...anyway, i have learned heaps, and even though the classes tonight were quite busy, i changed a couple of things, and hope they all benefit eventually...bless....x

I don't know how you get the energy - you never stop! - And yes the 'new' gameplan last night was great fun - I awoke this morning to realise that, yes! I had actually worked last night, and that my muscles were telling me about it - in a nice gentle kind of way x
