Spa Tek

Saturdays

There's always too much to do, and it gets worse. Life must be made to slow down. Tomorrow is my birthday, another step along the road towards the end of this journey. It's not too long since my last birthday, certainly it came around far quicker than when I was young.

This week two young teenage girls came to stay. Such joy, their bubbling laughter rippling through the house. A real breath of Spring. It was an extremely enjoyable experience, one that gives courage and expectation for the future. Their enthusiasm for life has not been tainted, they even seem to have survived our education system without too many deleterious effects.

At one point I switched on a television, only to be told that it was 'boring' (and what would many teenagers do without that word?). Running through the TV schedules for that day it was clear why she should say it was boring, for there was nothing that would entertain a teenager. Hopefully that's a good sign for the future, for these youngsters may not become couch potatoes, slouched in front of a flickering screen.

Looking forward to tomorrow, when a small party of my friends are joining me for lunch. If you count me as your friend, and are in Felixstowe, pop round tomorrow.
