Good Morning Early Birds

[emmie]

morning, Thursday already, the time is flying by, i hope that you are all in fine fettle, and that the day is a good one for you. Any particular plans for today?

Good day, - or if you're in Australia, G'day! I I have learnt this morning ** that in the ancient Japanese calendar, each of the 4 seasons is divided into six 'sekki', which themselves are split into 3, giving a yearly total of 72 microseasons or 'ko'.

They have rather nice names these microseasons, eg. "Plums turn yellow" and "Bears start hibernating in their dens"

On my morning walk I decided that this one here is, "Pussy-willow blooming along the river bank". :o)

** Review of a book entitled; 'Light Rains Sometimes Fall'.

Morning all, from grumpy of Brum... Supposed to go down to the weekly coffee morning later, not sure if I will get there though. One bit of advice Emmie, take your pain killers just before you go. Staying still for about 20 mins can make you stiffen up.

i haven't any pain killers, none that work at any rate, and yes that is what's happening if i sit/lie too long i stiffen up.

Explain this to the person who does your scan, they sometimes have different positioning options, I had a dodgy ones done with a small sandbag under it which was a less painful option.
