A bit of cosmetic surgery

Everyone has their views about it.

Me?  I'm all in favour of enhancing the appearance, albeit temporarily, with a bit of restoration.

Of course I know it's not possible to turn the clock back but I just couldn't look at the cracks and crevices and other signs of ageing any longer.

So I consulted with an expert who, after a thorough examination, explained what I could expect if I went ahead.

He also pointed out the risks.

His fees seemed reasonable for what he proposed to do and, most importantly, I trusted him.

We met again at the appointed time on Saturday and he began the improvement work that would take longer than anticipated, eight hours in total.

He told me afterwards he'd needed copious amounts of strong coffee to keep him going.

Recovery is still in progress.

Every picture tells a story

These are a few photographs taken during a recent holiday staying at our house in Spain.

  

Those abandoned sandals were a bit worrying but I think/hope they'd just been left behind rather than being a vital clue in a more sinister story.

   

If at first you don't succeed.....This poor beetle was trying desperately to get his haul up the wall.  Didn't like to point out it would have been quicker to go round it.

 

You see, it's all a bit droopy/heading south and I can't afford a facelift (and yes, if I had the money I'd elbow my way to the front of the queue) so I thought I'd give Eva's workout regime a try.  I did the  exercises for improving "the facial contour" (not recommended for public places, by the way, unless you enjoy being stared at and possibly punched) every day and followed the instructions to improve the  circulation to my face (involves a fair bit of slapping, tapping and stroking) to the letter.  I can honestly say that, at the end of the 10 day holiday, I looked not one jot better/younger/tauter.  Oh well, maybe my expectations were a tad unrealistic. After all, would an ordinary workout have given me a significantly younger looking body in 10 days?  I think not.  So, I'll keep at it and let you know what happens in the longer term.  Fingers crossed. But sitting up straight. Eva says so.
