Day 222 – Tuesday 6th December
Cracking Day today.
Last night we enjoyed the last “I am a Celebrity”, before both of us benefitted from a really good sleep ! She only had to nudge me once for snoring which means either I didn’t snore much (unlikely) or she had a really good sleep (much more likely).
Today was “Massage” day. Diana Baker, a friend of ours, is a qualified masseuse and she came round to give Karen, Marie and I a massage.
We had a ball. Marie was first and opted for a back and neck massage. She came out feeling fantastic.
I was next. I remember thinking (last time Diane gave me a massage), let her tell me what I need. Diane had been reading the blog and before I even had time to tell her my ailments she suggested a “full body” massage. Spot on. It REALLLLLY did the trick. I came out feeling as light as a feather and really good in myself. I also wanted to have the Hopi Ear Candles, because last time they had got loads of wax out of my ears. They are very relaxing. She basically sticks a special candle in each ear (NOT AT THE SAME TIME), and as it burns it sucks out all the gunge. It sounds very relaxing (like you’re by a log fire). Highly recommended !
Then it was Karen’s turn. Karen had instructions that it shouldn’t be a deep tissue massage, but she didn’t need to tell Diane as she had done her homework on the website and already had in mind what she was going to do.
She gave Karen a back, neck, head and hand massage to die for. Diane had me read out a relaxing passage from a book. I managed to keep a straight face and not spoil kp’s pamper time. Karen really enjoyed it. We all had such a lovely afternoon. Karen definately deserved it, as did Marie (come to think of it). Actually so did I. Yeah !
Here’s a picture of Diane and Karen :-
Karen’s hair is a mess because of the massage btw. If it’s not a mess, then ignore this comment.
If you want a piece of heaven, you can call Diane Baker on 07884021677. Click on her name to see her website which details more of the kind of things she can do.
No snoozes today, apart from being VERY relaxed during the massage. So, we should both sleep tonight.
That’s it for today.

Hang on you two,
can’t Diana come again next week when I visit (only joking). It all sounded wonderful, especially the ear wax thing that Dp had.
I got through the Christmas shopping today with Irene and Keith. What a blast, I made Irene try on clothes she would never choose and guess what she loved them. I was Trinny and Suzanna roled into one. Irene loved it and we got her into some very diffferent clothes, she had the best day.
Having said that there were things that really made me worry. She couldn’t remember what she’d tried on, or who was buying outfits for her, even though we’d discussed it 5 minutes earlier.
Even when I got them home, Irene was asking where other outfits were, it was very disconcerting. I’ve spoke to Alan and Karen tonight and I think they think:
Number one: I’m mad any way
Number two: It’s not surprising that the mad daughter thinks that the older mother is mad.
But I know that there is something very different about her, my sis say’s she’s always been like that, but I don’t remember it. Then again I’ll always worry more, to the point that I told my dad to keep an eye on her, but I know I’ll always worry too much.
My Mam and Dad love you so much Karen, we didn’t make it far today before they were asking about you. They really believe you are a star and are so proud, of:
Number one – you
and
Number two – to have known you
So thanks to you Karen for giving them those feelings.
Big cuddles
as always
from
Irene and Keith
