Just wondered that’s all. I haven’t had a massage for some time but my legs and hips are giving me hell and thought I might try a targeted massage.
Terrible, terrible day BF, drove one and a half hours each way from my place to Cranbourne for very little return.
Back to the drawing board for the big New Years twilighter at Flemington then Geelong next Saturday.
“ Money lost, nothing lost - courage lost, everything lost” !
New Years Eve is an interesting experiment by the VRC. Traditionally a New Year’s Day meeting they have brought it back as a 3.30 start and 7.30 finish on NYE. Track will remain open after that until 1.00am for a NYE party with bands, fireworks.
Early ticket sales 12,000 with a 20,000 crowd expected. (Should have done a ticket deal with the Barmy Army before they leave town and that would have doubled numbers),
I will be heading home after the last coz I gave up NYE celebrations many years ago.

I like a good massage Hal. It is amazing how strong tiny little Asian ladies are. I sometimes get just legs and feet since the chemo messed up my feet. I have tried Acupunture for nerve damage a few times but that Bowen Raki is shite. Rip off. They hover their hands above you and you are supposed be massaged by the invisible energy flowing through their hands. Popped a disc and a friends Mrs said try this bloke. He spent 1/2 hour not touching me and said finished that be $300. I would have killed that bloke if I could’ve stood up. He was not happy but left with a fifty I threw at him.
A traditional massage is the go.

Would of liked to watch them today but they all played like they cracked open a beer at 11 with Travis...
Seriously though I can't work out how CA made a loss after the Indian series they were big crowds. They needed to make back money on this series?

Sounds like a witch doctor !
I lived in Asia for some years and my wife and I used to have regular massages, even had an older nurse who used to supplement her income with home visits to several of the expats in our housing complex.
Apart from the ongoing naughty side, it’s quite common over there for health benefits.
Most interesting I had was in Seoul, Korea where the Hyatt Hotel used to have elderly “blind” masseuses in their health club, both male and female.
Didn’t say much but they had hands of iron, very invigorating.
