The Grand Finale
I am sitting inside 'the Larder Cafe', having just enjoyed delicious porridge and Capuccino...
I have had a lot of fun this morning seeing my friends on 'The Green' at Winchmore hill...
It's feels a bit like I have been acting a part in my own 'Camberwick Green'...
Maybe you have to be a certain age to know what I am referring to! It was a children's television series in the 1960's...
Each episode began with a shot of a musical box which rotated while playing a tune. It was accompanied by the following narration:
'Here is a box, a musical box, wound up and ready to play. But this box can hide a secret inside. Can you guess what is in it today'?
I loved that feeling of a secret inside the box...
It's the feeling I have about each day, that there is a secret waiting to be revealed, it makes life feel rather like a magical mystery tour!
And today on my own episode of Winchmore hill/ Camberwick Green, I have dropped into Paul the osteopath where he stretched me and needled me, and we talked nineteen to the dozen for the whole treatment... After leaving him I called in to see Eugene at Gaia nutrition, and spent lots of money on his wonderful potions and elixirs of life....
And now I am in the larder, where Michael has just brought me my delicious coffee...
The alarm went off at 6.30am today as Anadi had to be in a meeting in Richmond (in Starbucks, good meeting place!) by 8.30am...
I had intended to 'get up and get going' then... But it was an hour later that I woke up properly...
Not much time left for running and being in front of a Skype session by 9am...
But I made it just... After a slight dilemma as to whether it was okay to do a Skype session in my pants... I decided I had time to put my jeans on...
It felt more respectful!
In an hour or so, Anadi is taking me for my birthday treat.
I believe today is the grand finale to my stretchy birthday which began on May 2nd...
A fifteen day celebration is pretty fabulous....
We are going to Piccadilly to see a matinee of the Jersey boys and then out to Zedel to have a coffee and then move into eating in their bistro afterwards...
Wendy tells me it is her favourite place for coffee in London.
That was a good enough recommendation for me...
Later...
We are home, we had the most brilliant afternoon and evening
I love musical theatre... I find it so inspiring and uplifting, and I loved Zedel...
And being there with Anadi James...
