Trees

I went walking in the woods at the bottom of our road this morning, and I could not help noticing and appreciating the trees in these woods - we have beautiful beech, birch, ash, and many other trees that I probably would identify incorrectly. I think I have become a bit of a tree hugger in my old age, so when I got home and read the news about that little sh*t who felled the famous Sycamore Gap tree I was very angry. I hope he is severely punished for his selfish act.

I had another session at the osteopath today, I am currently going once a month to help keep my lower back, neck and shoulder ticking along - all the exercises and stretches I am routinely doing are helping but I am not pain free yet.

I popped into Waitrose to get a few things and noted that the renovations are coming along. A staff member told me she was not happy that half the checkout tills have now been made into a large self checkout area, I suppose it is the way that supermarkets are going these days. It closes on Sunday for a week but she said all the staff have to work as usual to unpack and help get the store ready for it's reopening. 

I was very sad to see that Sir Michael Gambon died today, he was one of the British greats in the theatre and movie world.
