The Weenies
I told you that I hurt my back before we left on our trip to England. I saw a physiotherapist and a doctor and finally the day before we left home I had a massage.
When I lived in Australia I had a massage guy that was fantastic but since I’ve lived in New Zealand I haven’t found anyone who always finds the right spots that are causing problems. Not until this guy.
We spent a few minutes talking about what I’d had done since I started feeling crap and then he asked me to get on the table. Good enough for most people but the guy is well over 6′ tall and he had to bring a chair over for me to climb on to get on the table. Normally that isn’t a good sign because I don’t like dwelling on the fact that I’m shorter than most people.
I let it pass because I could tell in an instant that he was from Canada. I’m from Maine so it was never far from Canada when I was growing up.
The massage went well and I could tell he was hitting all the right spots and then he said, “I’d like you to lie on your left side and draw your weenies up.”
I raised my head and must have had the most quizzical look on my face as I said, “I don’t have a weenie.”
He fell about laughing. He was laughing so hard that he had to sit down.
“Darlin, I said wee knees. I lived in Dunedin in the South Island for a long time and we say wee for everything.”
Ok, I had to laugh.
My back is much better and the flight from Auckland to Melbourne to Singapore to Dubai to London went off without a hitch. We’re settled in the hotel and it’s my turn for the shower.

That was so cute. I am glad it helped with the back. The comedy might have helped with the massage. It always loosens people up. Have a safe and fun trip.
