Sunlight through branches,
Pooling light of dappled shade,
Summer's dancing here.

Lush Therapy, Treasure Trove and Finding Freya
Training at work was scary, surprising but rewarding. Roisin demonstrated massage on me using a Therapy bar. Her technique was firm and I was amazed how much I enjoyed it. My skin is still wonderfully soft.
I had the opportunity to demonstrate on a couple of customers later in the afternoon. Their responses were positive, which was magic for me as I’ve been struggling at work since I returned. I think I expected to been on the same form I had at the end of the Christmas season. Being out of work (amongst other things) had obviously stompled on my self confidence. The experience today is a foundation I can build on. It’s funny but not so surprising that the thought of physical contact with the customers was giving me concern...my British reserve.
Found a wonderful site today by accident, Plurk threw up someone from Cumbria - my old stomping ground – and she has this awesome jewellery for sale. I knew the site was special when I saw the name of one of the rings – Freya. It’s a wrapped wire ring with a central clear stone, I’m in love. I know what I’m saving up for now... I’m postponing saving for my Lakes holiday just a little while so I can have that ring. Freya has always been special to me....
I miss my amber necklace – I had to leave it back in England – it was 3 fishing lines of small polished amber stones. The fishing line was almost invisible so the stones seemed to float round my neck; this was my Freya necklace – As the tale goes – Freya was free with her affections with four dwarves to get the necklace....jewellery can do that to a girl.

Lush and Logan
So I'm back at Lush..looking forward to some training tomorrow before my shift. The limited edition Jungle Tree is in store as part of the Family Tree promotion...we are naming and shaming a big paper and palm oil firm for the deforestation of Sumatra. We took photos and autographs for the campaign. We have a tree pasted to the window with face shaped holes in it for heads to be photographed through. The signatures are on the outside of the window. The snapped collection will appear on the Lush Flickr page.
The kitten (Chaos Schrödinger Mandelbrot Logan) has settled in (see photo) and wreaks havoc at every opportunity; all the members of his immediate family are alternately his nearest and dearest & wildebeest that he hunts relentlessly. We run the gauntlet of the shadows...dreading the sound of that tinkling bell....... Shnickt!...... ah bless he loves his mummy. More on Logan in later posts.
