The mental and diva's hands

What a disgusting day it’s been today. It has rained virtually non-stop, plus we’ve had force 9 winds at times. As a consequence Jez has chosen to spend most of the day in bed.

The week-end went well. We had a really good bunch of guests (I think there were 49 of them). And as ever at the White Hart the food was good. It’s odd to think I’ll only be going back there once (at New Year) as Joy has changed hotel chains. I also took the opportunity while I was in Salisbury to do a bit of shopping - mainly birthday presents for Chris (it’s his birthday next week).

Jez was sooooo pleased to see me when I got home. She got really excited. Chris had been giving her the valium over the week-end. That seems to suit her a lot better and mainly makes her sleepy. I haven’t given her any since I’ve come home as most of the time I can manage her pretty well, and anyway, as I’ve said, she’s slept a lot today as the weather is awful. I thought one of the pins was sticking out further, but I’ve just had another look and it seems fine. She’s really stiff when she first gets up after lying down, but after a while she starts walking on it properly. She’s also standing on it a lot more, and is sitting more normally (she’d had to sit sort of slumped to one side). Despite the rain I’ve taken her out for a short walk this afternoon and it went really well. Once she gets going you’d never know there was anything wrong with her. Her stomach if fine again now as well, thank goodness.

Oh, something that happened on the Weekend. We had two really nice ladies from New Zealand as guests, and in the incident room on Saturday night something was said about healing. So in character I said to one of them, ‘ Oh you can do some healing on me’, and she did. It was wonderful – a sort of laying on of hands, but I felt so relaxed. It was only for a couple of minutes, but as I said the next day, when I went to bed I just felt so calm, and slept really well. Apparently she used to belong to some sort of healing group at one time.

I think that’s about it. I can home to find the house a total tip. There were crumbs and bits all over the living room floor, where Jez had been chewing things. And chunks of my dustpan and brush which Chris seems to have let her chew! And the kitchen floor was filthy. So today I’ve been cleaning, and it looks a lot better now.
