Morning @AuntGlow, lovely to hear from you as always and thanks for the tag on your awesome thread 🙏
Thanks re the gym encouragement haha, I’d love to go on more days I think, just have to work up the confidence. Because it will mean group classes for extra sessions.
The acupuncture was good! Had to laugh though planned to have productive day after the appointment lol (haven’t had acupuncture in years). Anyway had the acupuncture and then I was like yep ok I’m feeling chill/calm, productivity was ruled out 😆. It was nice to rest the mind though and body felt good. Effects didn’t last too long maybe the day then a bit of the next day. But yeah no complaints other than when I go again I will plan a rest day 😂😂. Let me know if you end up getting some acupuncture! Have you had it before?
My intention this week is to make a ‘mind map’ not sure I have done anything like what I am wanting to do before but basically I want to put all of what’s in my brain onto paper.
Im not exactly creative/arty and I often worry how it would look or if it will match what I am hoping for, which is a stumbling block for me to begin with. I hope it will be worth while. Ideally it would be an electronic version so I can add/delete stuff and also so I can have it with me at all times but I have a strong drive to hand write it for some reason. So yeah not sure what it will look like yet.
ps I haven’t forgotten to respond to your other post- just planning to catchup after my nights, last one tonight 😴 (but on the home stretch yay!), have a good day today!!

I had acupuncture and a nice firm massage this morning too. @Chasingsunsets Love it feel so good. Showers here today. Apparently we’re going to get a storm this afternoon but no sign of it yet.

@GezzaP you're in Wait Awhile too aren't you? (lol WA)
It's dark and cloudy in my patch of Perthville (near the valley of the swans) which put the damper (pun intended!) on my plans to work in the garden.
Hope you're feeling well after the acupuncture and massage 🙂

@ENKELI acupuncture and firm massage fantastic feel great. It doesn’t look stormy out there just yet. I’m in Adelaide. Put my indoor plants out to get some rainwater. It’s good for them. Just relaxing. About to do some sudokus and crosswords. Might have a nap see how I feel. Will go for another look around garden. Got a cacti about to flower and some seeds I planted on the weekend have already germinated! Need to trim back one plant.

@GezzaP for some reason I thought you were in Perth. Duh!
I love Adelaide. I have visited many times and even considered moving there at one point.
You obviously have a green thumb, getting seeds to germinate that quickly. I hope the day is good to you 🙂

Yes I have a green thumb mostly but my soil is very poor so it needs lots of compost and mulch and I need to get some soil wetter too. @ENKELI I’m having a good day. Painter came to do a quote arrived on time. Then I went ti Chinese acupuncture. I get the needles then she gives me a fabulous firm massage. If it doesn’t rain I will go outside to prune a plant or two.
