Synchronicity

It amazes me how life gives us what we need even when we don't know we need it. Today this web site plopped into my in-box http://www.sportrelief.com/the-mile/havant-borough-mile telling me we have a local race of just ONE MILE in March. This is exactly what I need to get some experience and motivation to actually keep my resolution to run the Race for Life in the summer.

Resolution

Once it's written there's no going back.... so here goes. This year I shall RUN the Race for Life...

Looking back

Some of my favourite experiences:

· Massage:
Petchkasem Road, Hua Hin, Thailand, next to Golden Place, massage by professional blind masseurs that ties you in knots with a 'little pain' and leaves you feeling marvellous

· Foot bath:
Kang Li Lai Feet Massage, Diecui Road, Yangshuo, China – on the main road to Li Jiang – wooden tubs full of warm jelly and a pedicure done with very sharp chisels, strange but blissful

· Perfume:
Sorrento Profumi, Via San Cesareo, 57 - 80067 Sorrento (Na) ITALY – fabulous for lemon and seaweed oils

· Almond Oil:
Organic first press from Corfu, available from roadside stalls across the island – great for skin and nails

· Afternoon tea:
Dusit Inya Lake Hotel, Yangon, Myanmar – feel like royalty as you sit by the lovely lake to enjoy tiny sandwiches, fabulous cakes and sorbets in the sunshine

· Shopping
Stanley Market, Hong King – for textiles, electrical goods, souvenirs and all cheapie desireables

· Jewellery:
Gem Museum, Yangong, Myanmar – jade, rubies, diamonds, gold, silver.... like Aladdin’s cave

· Exhibition
Anish Kapoor, British Academy, London – a total sensory experience
