And it's getting better.....

Hurrah it's been raining on and off all day- a great relief for the garden, now the bulbs will have a good chance of making the garden an Easter's delight.  Cat's however, are stir crazy, and as I type away I've one staring at me, literally in my face, Sprout wont leave me alone, so errors are likely!

I've had my third treatment at the vets, and aside from a bit of pain while waiting for the bus this evening I am remarkably better (Thus I am remarking). Thank goodness for complementary therapies. I'm sure dear Andrea's homoeopathic remedy is doing its magic too. Tomorrow will be my last treatment in the series then we have to wait a couple of weeks to see that everything is settled. Fingers crossed I will be cured!!

After each treatment I stop on for a cuppa and a chat, partly because the treatment leaves me a little spacey and I don't want to drive straight away. Today I was sitting in JanWillem's kitchen enjoying a cuppa when one of his cats jumped up and sat on my shoulders like a fur stole. he was so happy there purring loudly in my ear- cat therapy now that's a must!

Walking the dogs early this morning I had a mini echo of the Camino when I saw poppies sprouting up in the fields, not is such numbers as in the photo Janey took for the cover of the magic, but lovely nonetheless.

So little time

Well today it is officially three months before I start my next Camino, and happily I am recovering well from the sciatica, after my second visit to the vets today. It looks like I may be going solo this time too, as Nick is almost definitely out of the picture, and Janey is a probably not. Now this scares and excites me in equal measure.

• How will I cope on my own?
• who will I check directions with?
• who will eat all the food I cook (I can only cook for a minimum of four people)?
• Who will I moan at/to when I'm at my low ebb?
• Who will I point out all the amazing sights to?

Well I know I can very well manage to do these all on my own, but it will be most strange to be walking without my usual walking partner (Janey), or without my expected walking partner (Nick), but fear not I can and will do it.  BTW guys this isn't to make you feel guilty or change your minds. If you could/can make it that'd be great, if you can't I'm sure I'll have a ball too.

And this will be where I will be planning to be walking the first day (21.06.2012) Oviedo - Grado (21kms)

SO as the clock really starts ticking I am feeling the old Camino spirit starting to burn in my blood again- be gone damned sciatica I need to walk.......

Energetic Vet

Today I had an appointment with the vet. Nope none of the animals are unwell, and not with our usual gorgeous vet (Oscar) either, but with Jan-Willem, the Dutch vet up in the mountains. And guess what I came away feeling so much better- painless in fact!

A little while back Jan-Willem did a Bioenergy course and has been looking for clients since. I'd heard that this could cure sciatica, and quite frankly having been 'suffering' for over six weeks now I have been willing to try almost anything.

The treatment was little like a Reiki session, with energy flying around, but so much more powerful than anything I've experienced before, and without a word of a lie I really did leave there painless. I now have three more sessions over the next three days, and have high hopes that by the weekend I will be sciatica free. And here's the deal - if it doesn't work I don't pay- I so know I'll be paying (this is the first time I've been able to sit at the PC for a prolonged period without jumping up every now and then to relieve the pain), and am so happy for that too. Watch this space.....

On the way back I drove down the cherry tree lined Rambla that I mentioned just the other day:

BTW- this was taken trough the car windscreen, so not a perfect pic.
