There will be no more Chinese proverbs from me for a while!  I was heading back to my car in central Glasgow this afternoon when I managed to fall flat on my face in the middle of Ingram Street!  I think I just tripped – I’m not sure – but my left leg is badly scraped along with my pride!  Pedestrians on my side of the street just carried on walking as if I were invisible (obviously assuming I was worse for wear with drink!).  I would however just like to thank the rather lovely young man who ran across the street, dodging traffic, to check I was alright – there are some good people out there!!!

While sorting out my filing on Sunday night, I found a voucher my good friend had bought me for my last birthday.  It was for a massage and facial at the rather wonderful Blythswood Spa in Glasgow.  Imagine my horror on checking the details that I discovered that it was only valid until today.

What to do?  Well I got straight on the phone and arranged a last minute appointment for this afternoon and boy, am I glad I did!

On arrival I was shown to my locker where a lovely soft robe, a towel, slippers and a bottle of water were ready and waiting for me.  I then went into the treatment room – low lights, soft music and a really comfy bed were waiting for me.  I then had what I can only describe as the best massage and facial in the world … ever!!!  I left feeling so relaxed it was difficult driving home through the rush hour traffic without falling asleep.  My only disappointment was that I hadn’t taken a swimming costume with me.  The heat treatments, hydro pool and swimming pool were just fantastic and will definitely be used on my next visit.

Girls, if you want a bit of R and R and have a couple of hours to spare, go on, give yourselves a treat!!!
