(For Erica - In my thoughts and prayers - a keepin goin for you Team Leader.)

First day of 'driving' today. That is, pony driving. Through and round a lovely park out in the French countryside. Half an hour. Was a tad nervous, but took the reins and sat with the lass from the equitation centre. Pony was a Shet, a 'been there there an done it all before' gelding - who 'only' understood French! Nice and comfortable to drive. Went over a large grassy area as well, was a bit nervous 'in case' of jarring, but OK. Was disinclined to 'trot' though. So, a nice slow and also a brisk walk through the parkland. (Was a stiff dismount from the skurry...). Another session next Tuesday.

Physio Therapy
Doing my stretches and bends forwards, with straight back and straight from the hips - physio T. says, NO bending of spine 'down' MUST keep spine straight. And gotta sit more tall. He tells me off for being a sloucher. (Which I do tend to be.)

Next session tomorrow morning and will be working with the big physio, Pilates, ball. Will be interesting.

BTW. He was somewhat *dismayed when I told him about the 'head harness' that I was put into last year - to stretch the cervicals. Says MOST dangerous for a spondy or *anyone with cervicl problems. A *Definite No-No. Eye opener for me. So will advise my GP - again - that the physios across the road from me are...deeply suspect!

I had better retire now, or will never be up in time to get ready, do chucks and motor 40 mins to P/T session.

Night all -
