These are two great books for you to read! The Officer and a Spy is the book she read last week about The Dreyfus Affair in France at the end of the 1800's.
She has just finished 'Conclave' and no, we aren't going to spoil it for you! Suffice to say it is about the choosing of a new Pope , it is a cleverly written book with a great ending!
So she'll be off to the library tomorrow, before she goes to work, in order to hunt for more of Mr. Robert Harris's books to read.
The treatment she had on Sunday was Acupunture.
She's had it the first time was when she broke her ankle and her orthopedic surgeon told her to have it after he removed her cast in order to reduce the swelling and to help with the pain. Bingo! It worked..
And the second time was when she developed arthritis in her right hand and wrist, it worked wonderfully and she has never, touch wood, had pain in her fingers or wrist ever since.
This time was with a new acupunturist as her previous acupunturist has retired.. moral.. always have doctors, dentists, hair dressers etc, etc MUCH younger than yourself!
She was extremely pleasant, very detailed, thorough and the clinic where she works is not far away. The cost was reasonable and the treatment excellent as she 'found' certainly two things that are a problem, so she's immediately adjusted what she is eating to reflect these two points.
Pleasant day yesterday, she went to see the art collection of King Charles 1st with Tereza and then they went into China Town to eat chinese yumyum.. Not one grain of rice or a noodle passed her lips!
The Van Dyke portraits are beyond wonderful.. His wife, Henrietta Maria, was half French half Italian and brought up in the French Court, her father being Louis 13th and her mother Catherine de Medici. She was only fifteen when they married, he was twenty five.. she bore him five children and after his execution she fled back to France in exile.
The collection is breathtaking and one can only imagine what the WHOLE collection must have been like, for many, many portraits were burnt and dumped in the Thames, things that were sold in the Commonwealth Sale at Somerset House have been lost, as in nobody knows where they are or if they have survived and lots of pictures and silver are in Russia.
She's being quiet to allow the treatment a chance to work properly and we ate, as usual, not too late. We send you our best wishes and hope that tomorrow is bright and warm, it started off like that today and then went 'grumpy & grey' as Hugo would say.
Never mind, she'll wrap up warmly and try to find some sunshine to walk in.
GeeGee Parrot.
