Just missed the bus this morning and power-walked two bus stops to the train station and arrived at the same time as my train.

YES !

I don't like being late for appointments, but this time I needn't have worried, as my acupuncturist was running behind schedule.

"I can't give you another appointment because I am leaving for Switzerland on Saturday and don't know when I will be back. " She tells me all in one breath, " My sister is dying of cancer ... I can't sleep or think of anything else "

It felt like a confession. She obviously needed to get that off her chest, poor thing. For the next few minutes , I lay there like a pin cushion, needles everywhere, and mentally sent healing to this situation and to her sister until a voice in me reminded me: " This is your time now. Relax and enjoy the healing. " Righty-o , and so I did; snored and fell asleep for the next thirty minutes or so.:)

Dropped in to see A-S on the way home. She'd been attempting a clear out and not getting very far. I know the feeling. Overwhelm. Too much to do. Trick is to just take one cupboard or corner at a time and move the unwanted stuff out. We drank tea and chatted for a while and then I moved on.

At home and ravenously hungry, made a batch of basic curry sauce, setting a portion aside to freeze and use later and mixing the other one with chick peas. Yum !

Met Marie Louise on the bus on her way to see Gun . Haven't seen either of them for ages.

Nipped in to the hairdresser's on the way home and made an appointment for 19 August.

That's it .... time for a power snooze .....
