Evening all..

Just back from visiting the Washington DC Tidal Basin.... probably the perfect “peak bloom” date for this season since a nasty, cold storm is to blow through tomorrow with rain sleet and snow.

Here’s one collage of some of the moments..

Beautiful pictures!

Good morning all.

I hope your massage goes OK Carol.

We are off to the in-laws for the day.

I have decided not to wear the sling. It simply isn’t worth MotherInLaw going into meltdown and stressing that I am in need of an operation, amputation or worse. The less she knows the better. I can protect my shoulder secretively.

MiL looks for things to worry about. On one visit recently JoesDad mentioned he hadn’t been to the gym because he hadn’t been feeling right. Next day we got a phone call because she’d decided he was seriously ill and had been awake all night worrying... he’d been starting a cold (not even man flu [emoji849])

Meanwhile, yesterday in the nest box was “fluff day”. Mrs Bluet-it spent the day bringing in soft materials like feathers and wool to line the nest :)

Oh dear. I would do the same. Good luck and be careful. [emoji8]

All caught up already. Ibruprofen taken. Had a lemon poppyseed muffin. ( was yummy). I have my bottle of water. So all prepped for my appointment. Let Saturday begin.
The massage went well. He said I was very tight. Some of the areas he worked was àctually quite sore. He mentioned my neck was out. And that I think about a chiro at some point soon. Hopefully I am not too sore tomorrow. Will however carry doing the tabs and my water. ( although I am not a water person) chat later again.

Glad it went OK. My physio is also a qualified osteopath... and she uses both on me.

I don’t know much about chiropractic, but it seems rougher; it might be worth looking at osteopathy?

If in doubt, ask Google [emoji849]
The major difference between an Osteopath and a chiropractor is that while the chiropractor is primarily focused on the spine and joints (and the muscles too, to a point), an Osteopath is also concerned with the rest of the body. ... Osteopaths typically take a broader approach and may treat a larger area.

I wonder what “or worse” means. :eek: Better not know. ;)
Hope the birdies will get on with business soon. Such perfectionists! :D
