Hugs for LG.

Hurrah for not-being-sciatica for Kim.

MrsJ, I used to run on treadmills quite a lot but can't do them at all now - haven't tried for a few years but I couldn't balance on them the last few times I tried.

Did a workshop for probation service guys in Wakefield. One had never tried any type of printing before and made a couple of lovely little prints including his daughter's name. After he told me he'd been struggling a lot lately, with depression. He couldn't believe how much he enjoyed doing the lino printing today and got such a buzz from seeing his work printed. Made me all ruddy happy.

In other news, I wore compression socks under my jeans as my legs ached after running this morning and it seems to have done to trick!

Hugs all round for Som, his student, Lip Gloss and everyone who needs them.

I am at airport hotel so I took a wee stoll while charging the car. Here is a volcano from a long way away.
