I don\u2019t like change – and I\u2019m still not talking about the possibility of leaving Europe! I\u2019m on matters rather closer to home. When I went to swimming yesterday I received the shocking news that it is changing hands. It\u2019s actually one of the hydrotherapists who is buying it and I do already know her and she is very nice, but she\u2019s not the one I\u2019m with most of the time. I\u2019ve grown really very fond of my usual hydrotherapist over the last few years. She understands my odd little ways and does everything she can to keep me calm and happy. I\u2019ve even grown to look forward to my swimming times and none of us ever thought that was likely. Ari says he really doesn\u2019t mind who swims with him and he\u2019s not the least bit worried by the change, but then he\u2019s only four and I\u2019m ten so I\u2019m entitled to be a little less flexible in my thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shadow and I were working out earlier that we have an average age of nine now between just the two of us. To be fair, given it\u2019s Shadow we are talking about, I was doing the working out and she was just agreeing. Maths is not her strongest subject. She didn\u2019t really appreciate being included in an average that made her sound older than she is. She\u2019s been really feeling her age the last week or two and doesn\u2019t like to be reminded. We\u2019re both going to try moving onto the senior food now to reflect our lower energy levels. I tried it when I was her age, but it just left me hungry then. I think I might be ready for it now. I\u2019m really quite trim compared to how I have been at some points. I\u2019ve lost a whole kilogram and I have to say I do feel better for it, at least physically if not mentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
