Can you hear the music playing. I got to thinking after visiting this morning that if my life was a movie this is the music I would like to playing quietly in the back ground as I go about my day, its so restful and peaceful and relaxing. It would be hard to get angry or stressed out with music like this in the background.
Ironing would be a pleasure - the repetitive gliding of the iron back and forth as you float along with the music.
What a nice start I had to my busy hectic day today as I strolled through the pleasant scenary of Jo's blog. Thank you Jo.
What music would you have as your lifes sound track, what would be on your compilation.

Well things went a bit pear-shaped this morning, I housekeep a holiday let cottage and had just started to get it ready for new guests, all I was doing was batting down the wayward feather doona and ping, snap like an elestic band or like a sharp electric shock in my lower back, i was in agony, it took me about 15 minutes to get to my mobile phone to call a friend to come rescue me and then the owner of the house to ask if she could delay the guests arrival time. I managed with the aid of a broom as a prop to get one load of washing in the dryer and another in the machine. I realised it was going to be impossible for me to finish cleaning as I couldn't even stand up straight. The plumber was booked to come later that day to fit a new loo cistern and he would have been quite happy to come rescue me as well, my boss wanted to drive the two hour journey from her home to help even. My friend arrived and with me doped up on painkillers we managed to get the house ready. The concerned plumber did a great job of cleaning up after himself as well. I can't straighten up and the computer chair is the only place I can sit and get out of easily. I'm saving the really strong painkillers for tonight so I can sleep, the ibuprofen is not even dulling the pain. I know when this happens it usually takes a few days for everything to settle down, i'm forcing myself to rest and maybe this will give me chance to get a few projects finished off.
I'm hoping a hot shower will ease it off a little enough for me to stand at the cooker and get dinner ready, though its knocked me a bit sick and I might just have a cup-a-soup.

Oh what bad luck with your back. I hope it mends itself quickly. So nice that you have friends and neighbours to give you a hand.
