Oops …

Apparently, about a week ago, I sleepwalked out to the computer and put a bid on a 1980s Japanese road bike on eBay. Which was very reasonably priced! and which I expected to go much higher than my bid. Guess what I am picking up on the weekend?

I promise to only ride it like a hipster – slowly and on the footpath ;-)

In news that will surprise no one, I was walking home from spin class tonight when I was nearly bowled over by a car coming out of the Carriageworks driveway. I gave a brief lecture on the illegality of cutting off pedestrians on pavements and the lack of right of way cars enjoy in such spaces. He looked deeply chastened, and mildly concerned that I might beat him with the foam massage roller I was carrying and unconsciously using to punctuate my exclamations. Thinking back, I probably should have.

Massage roller itself EXCELLENT for shoulder/arm soothing, though!

If I can reduce my migraines and stop my face going numb when I lay down and my shoulder hurting so badly it keeps me awake I'll be terribly happy. Not sure how many visits I get at the reduced rate though. Will see. Hopefully he'll give me some exercises that will help.

I think it will help, they are very good at lessening muscle, nerve and tendon tension. Mr B's migraines went right down in frequency once he got his back sorted.

Let me know if you need any therabands, as I have spares and could pop one in with Whispers Underground when it FINALLY arrives (some point this decade, one hopes!)
