I was a bit nervous " doing the spa thing"
as I am not entirely comfortable with strangers getting their hands on me, so it was with a little trepidation I slipped myself into my white fluffy robe and donned my disposable mule slippers.
The Prof went into the first treatment room with a burly Eastern European masseuse called Magda for his full body and I tottered into the second treatment room with Lucy who had a voice like chocolate. I was a little nervous at first but the whispering Lucy made me feel totally at ease what with the relaxing music, smells and dim lighting and as I lay on the heated couch like jabba the hutt with my head in a hole, she flitted around me like a silent massaging Ninja .
I had the shoulder and back treatment followed by an intensive facial. Lucy thought an intensive and hydrating facial was the order of the day ( probably because I have the soap and water complexion of a man who has never cared for his skin in 53 years)
For an hour she put various potions on my face rubbed them in , and smoothed them off before rubbing in another then another.....it was lovely......and I was truly relaxed , truly ! Well until she worked on a particularly stubborn knot on my back and her boobs bashed me on the head a couple of times.
I almost succumbed to an attack of the giggles then but didn't for I could tell Lucy was a real professional and would not have approved of schoolboy humour!
Anyhow the whole experience was quite special and exceedingly well done. I loved it.
I do so love to be pampered .......the porter even ironed our shirts for us before we went out!
Now that's good service!
Thank you to everyone who offered us good wishes for the day!
ReplyDeleteVery kind! Many thanks again xx
I was feeling blue today until I read this :)
ReplyDeleteI can imagine it and just see you trying not to giggle.
Thank you for this .. and yes, I am giggling.
I'm ok with boobs bashing against my head, but I'm not sure about facials.
ReplyDeleteI bet this professional facial didn't leave your face as red as a baboon's arse like your home one did!
ReplyDeleteI had skin like cate Blanchett now
DeleteI'd have suffocated you with mine.
ReplyDeleteTee hee me too Rachel or they would have been ear muffs !!
Deleteme three! that's probably the closest john has EVER gotten to boobs in his life!
DeleteYou'd be surprised
DeleteHave to join you in that sentiment Rachel. I can see the headline now: Death by Boobage!
DeleteGood thing you don't have an irrational fear of boobs, I am married to someone who does.
ReplyDeleteseriously? remind me to never flash your sweet bear! :)
DeleteDid you die and go to heaven? Oh my god!
ReplyDeleteI want skin like Cate Blanchett !!
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear that you had such a relaxing spa visit. Is Chris very relaxed as well?
ReplyDeleteHis massage was a little rougher than mine
DeleteBeing 'endowed' myself I tend to forget that the girls can be dangerous. Hopefully, no concussions were experienced.
ReplyDeleteVery happy for you tow being pampered and spoiled for the weekend! Well deserved.
ReplyDeleteone year ago today
ReplyDeleteyou changed your life
and became a husband
congrats on completing your first year of marriage!
This would make a good Monty Python-ish skit ..
ReplyDeleteHow was Chris after his private session with Magda? I bet he was exhausted.
ReplyDeleteAnd worried,, she commented one of his calves were bigger than the other
DeleteI never knew he was a part time dairy farmer!

DeleteSounds like a great time. Are you going to add a moisturiser to your regime now perhaps?
ReplyDeleteIn a word ...no lol
DeleteHappy Anniversary to you both. Lang may your lum reek. xx
ReplyDeleteAre you drunk ? Lol
DeleteMoi?? My standard alternative is "may you have many dogs and horses" but as you are already there with the dogs, it didn't seem so fitting.
DeleteA lot of people would have paid extra for the boobs on the head! I am glad that you and the prof had a relaxing time.
ReplyDeleteNice to get away, eh?!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds divine and I'm so glad you enjoyed the pamper x
ReplyDeletePS the best boob moment I know is with the gorgeous Kate Winslet & very talented Jack Black in The Holiday & he grins & says something like " Boob graze " and she giggles. I have the feeling it was ad-libbed by Mr Black.

even if it was scripted, it makes me smile - a favourite film of mine x
Oh do you know the thought of a massage or a facial makes me cringe, I hate it! Guess that makes me very odd!! Glad you enjoyed!
ReplyDeleteI wasnt keen at first.. But it was quite lovely
DeleteGlad you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteBoobs on the head or in very close proximity to the face is why I don't mind going to the dentist.
Yay for pampering.
ReplyDeleteAmy ... you would have to get me drunk to the point of unconsciousness before I would get a massage. facial good, massage no.
ReplyDeleteNow that is the way to celebrate an anniversary! Well, other than the attack of the bewbs.
ReplyDeleteI've just read an article on things to do in the morning to facilitate a good day. Stretching, jumping up and down, smiling at oneself in the mirror-some have worked better than others but my own personal addition to the list-to read your blog first thing is working like a charm.
ReplyDeleteThank you susan
DeleteI totally agree with Susan. I do read you as soon as you post it seems. Sitting here , waiting, ready to pounce lol
DeleteSounds like a delicious time to be sure! Glad you both enjoyed it - here's to many more! :)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely for you both!! Good for you getting away and indulging in some self love.
ReplyDeleteI am not a facial fan, but a massage or body treatment? Yes please!
Are you going to tell us about the dinner part? Where did you go. What did you eat and drink?! Pls continue Btw this sounds so much nicer than zip lining
ReplyDeleteWe met family and friends in osborne house in llandudno, whee we had the wedding meal originally.......lovely food........i had liver!
DeleteLiver? How could you?
DeleteI wouldn't want a stranger's boobs bopping me on the head or anywhere else, and especially not during a massage.
ReplyDeleteI love a good massage, don't think I ever got some boobage in my face though.
ReplyDeleteto the judge as what you think Yemen in 30 shows to be sensible Copy Buffett for damage and he may say a hundred thousand now and this and beginning there on the assess this defended what he anticipate and it may say well I think the evidences .

I love a good massage, but I could quite happily live the rest of my life without ever having another facial. Did they do that thing where they blow steam in your face and pick at your pores with a metal prong? Not enjoyable! Being boob-bashed, on the other hand, I could forgive.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful. I love the pampering, the facial, the ironed shirts, but all that "personal touching"? No thanks.
ReplyDeleteI can hear Frankie Howerd......"Titter ye not"! X
ReplyDeleteSounds like heaven ! You got me with the ironed shirts -even better than a massage !
