Well, you just have to indulge at Easter - although I was very restrained this year... possibly due to the tightening of my clothes and summer just around the corner!

I can introduce you to some new businesses that have joined us this issue... bob and lulu, children’s shoe and clothes boutique at Ashley, Angela Bowyer Permanent Makeup, Austin Kelly for your DIY and Kip McGrath for educational supplements.

sea symbolically to the city. The gesture was thought to keep sea-farers safe for the coming year. The ceremony of the Marriage of the Sea continues to this day.

Lo Sposalizio del Mare, or the Marriage of the Sea was an ancient ceremony which used to symbolise the maritime domination of Venice. It took the form of a solemn procession of boats, headed by the Doge's lavish ship, out to sea by the port on the Lido. In 1177 Pope Alexander III drew a ring from his finger and bade the Doge cast a ring into the sea each year on Ascension Day, and in so doing, wed the

The Aberdeen Bach Choir’s concert is an attempt at a musical reconstruction of Lo Sposalizio as it might have sounded in the 1630s. The first half will consist of madrigals and sacred music by Giovanni and Andrea Gabrieli, as would have been played and sung on the water during the procession of boats, and the second half will be a reconstruction of the church service held afterwards in the church of San Nicolo, on the Lido.

The concert will be held at St Machar’s Cathedral at 7.45pm. Tickets are available from Aberdeen Performing Arts at £15, £12 for concessions, £5 for students and children under 16 are free.

Messing About on the River If you are looking for something a little different this year, why not try a canal boat holiday.

You do not need any previous experience or a boat licence to hire a canal boat, and you and your crew will be given all the training you need before you set off on your holiday.

You will be taught how to use the controls which are fairly simple: the tiller controls left and right, and you push the lever forwards to go forward and backwards to stop or reverse.

Life jackets are supplied to children and non swimmers for extra safety.

You can go to many different parts of the UK and choose your own itinerary. You can choose to moor up near a quiet canal side village or in a city centre. Birmingham for instance is famous for having more canals than Venice. It’s a good idea to look at maps and guides in advance, and talk to your hire company to plan a realistic route. Remember that the pace is slow. The speed limit on canals is just four miles an hour.

Kids or grandparents will love helping at the locks, and as you will be in a different place every day, you can find something to suit everyone along the way. This type of holiday is also ideal for dogs as there will be plenty of open spaces and traffic-free walking. You will gain a new love of nature as you spot birds and wildlife along the way. You might also choose to do some fishing from the boat or the banks, but do remember you may need to buy a rod licence. There will also be many other highly decorated craft to see along the way. It’s great fun waving to those on the tow path, and some of your party might choose to cycle on the paths or walk parts of the route whilst you steer.

Today’s holiday boats are bright and modern and all the comforts of home are available.

The Galley is fully equipped with oven, hob and fridge and in some cases a micro wave. You will find all the utensils, crockery and glasses that you need on board. Lounges are fitted with comfortable seating, and some have DVD’s as well as TV’s. Bathrooms have hot and cold running water to the showers and sinks and a flushing loo!. There is usually a mix of single and double beds and often central heating.

If you are really looking for complete rest and relaxation, why not try one of the canal hotels that can also be found on the water.

You get your own skipper and crew, who know the history of the canals, and you can share the trip with like-minded people. It’s the perfect way to unwind.

whenever and wherever they occurred to him; a method that he was seen to employ while recording and touring with Tommy Smith and his group. Sweet Sister Suite is a textured, measured and deeply layered work for trumpet and vocal that also features SNJO improvisers stepping out from the orchestra to take the spotlight.

T

he Scottish National Jazz Orchestra (SNJO) directed by Tommy Smith presents Kenny Wheeler’s ‘Sweet Sister Suite’

Saturday 21st April 2018: The Sanctuary at Queen’s Cross, Aberdeen AB10 1YN 07827 966735 - concertsstart at 19.30pm Jump into Spring with the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra and their special guests Laura Jurd, Irini Arabatzi and Brian Kellock for a celebration of jazz genius. Together they will explore a rarely performed work by master composer, the late Kenny Wheeler, and the repertoire of pianist, composer and arranger Mary Lou Williams.

Kenny Wheeler was a Canadian-born jazz trumpet player who became a stalwart of British modern jazz and who participated in many adventurous configurations as a leader, composer and sideman. He is especially remembered for his long association with Sir John Dankworth, and for a string of successful solo albums for ECM, which featured collaborations with Keith Jarrett, Mike Brecker and Jan Garbarek. He was also noted for iconoclastic projects such as the Spontaneous Music Ensemble, and the exploratory Azimuth with John Taylor and Norma Winstone and was still making wonderful music in his final years.

His last album, Songs for Quintet was recorded in 2013 for ECM at the Abbey Road studios in London.

Kenny Wheeler was commissioned by Tommy Smith to write Sweet Sister Suite for the SNJO in 1995 and the work, written over a two-year period, was completed in 1997. Wheeler often composed by noting down ideas and fragments

Laura Jurd is an award-winning trumpeter who has made a significant impact on UK jazz with her band Dinosaur, and her outstanding work with the Ligeti Quartet. She’s also written commissioned music for BBC Concert Orchestra, the Northern Sinfonia and BBC Radio 3. Irina Arabatzi is an insightful and empathetic jazz singer who is becoming firmly established in the UK as a versatile and compassionate new voice.

They take center stage in these performances of ‘Sweet Sister Suite’, one of Kenny Wheeler’s most evocative, detailed, and rarely played essays in modern jazz.

Mary Lou Williams was an in-demand composer, arranger and teacher who worked closely with many of the great names of jazz including Thelonius Monk, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Dizzy Gillespie. She was both popular and respected throughout her career, and her music was infused with sharp intellect, exceptional invention and deep spirituality.

Williams’ music was at various times ambitious and visionary, but throughout a long career, she firmly maintained her lifelong commitment to “Jazz for the Soul”.

Brian Kellock is familiar to jazz audiences as a gentle, genial figure whose playing is full of heart and loaded with unspoken emotion. He joins the SNJO to perform some of Mary Lou Williams’ most resounding tunes including, A Mellow Bit Of Rhythm, What’s Your Story, Morning Glory? and Jump Caprice. These wonderful tunes round off performances that open a new three-year cycle of concerts from the SNJO, and they signal very bright prospects for the future of jazz in Scotland.

Plasma Skin Tightening Treatment

PLASMA SKIN TIGHTENING TREATMENT is a very versatile

procedure that is stunningly effective in wrinkle smoothing, eyelid tightening, and eyelid hood reduction, it treats, repairs lifts regenerates and rejuvenates almost any area of the skin. It spectacularly improves and brightens skin tone elasticity and texture, significantly tightens loose skin and dramatically reduces & plumps out lines & wrinkles. Plasma skin tightening helps deliver a brighter more contoured and youthful appearance & results are virtually immediate and incredibly long lasting – all without any need for fillers suturing scalpels injectable anaesthetic, ablation or costly and invasive surgery.

How does plasma skin regeneration work?

A specialised device is used to deliver an ionised gas (the plasma), which charge the air just above the skin. This process generates a tiny lightening bolt that damages existing cells and causes them to contract. That is when the magic happens – the skins natural healing processes go into overdrive, encouraging fresh new cells to be produced. These include collagen and elasticity, which help to maintain the skins elasticity and minimise the appearance of wrinkles. Depending on the intensity of the plasma treatment the therapy can be used to treat superficial issues such as hyper-pigmentation and fine lines as well as deep wrinkles and sagging skin.

Who is it for?

All ages, all skin types and most skin tones can benefit from the therapy. Some may want to achieve a more youthful complexion. Others may want to diminish imperfections such as stretch marks scarring skin tags and thread veins. Skin tightening starts multiple sessions 3 at 12 weekly intervals.

Could you have anxiety even if you function to a high standard?

it’s often the case that people with High Functioning Anxiety don’t realise that they have an anxiety disorder that would benefit from treatment.

The physical symptoms of anxiety can include headaches, a fast heartbeat, sweating, shaking, stomach aches, tense muscles, chest pain, dizziness, breathlessness and problems concentrating.

This is a common scenario here in Aberdeen, with the increased pressures in the oil and gas industry. With workloads ramping up as the workforce continues to shrink, High Functioning Anxiety is a growing problem and one that I’ve been supporting numerous clients with through Solution Focused Hypnotherapy since the economic situation worsened.

These type of symptoms can be very debilitating and are what people typically associate with anxiety. However, some people experience very high levels of anxiety but still manage to struggle through life without treatment.

With High Functioning Anxiety, you’re still able to get yourself up and off to work but are plagued by anxious thoughts, a racing mind and chronic insomnia. None of this is obvious to other people and as you’re still able to perform your job to a good standard,

My 33 years of clinical experience (including mental health nursing) means I’ve been able to help clients to overcome High Functioning Anxiety. The first step is to recognise that anxiety still requires treatment, even if you still seem to be coping okay with life. Think how much better life would be when you’re not fighting a constant battle with your mind!

Why is stretching so important?

There are many health benefits to undertaking a flexibility programme: Benefits of stretching: Improved range of movement at a joint. Whether the joint is your finger, elbow, knee hips or ankle we all need to be able to move them for our daily functions. Keeping them all moving is essential to healthy joints, muscles and mind.

Increased muscle power. Due to good blood supply, and taking the muscle to its limit stretching a muscle will provide more muscle fibres to be working. When it’s as long as it can be and mobile, we will achieve more power from all the muscle fibres working when we move.

Reduced post exercise muscle soreness. Given that a muscle will tear slightly when exercising, but builds stronger for doing so, a stretch will reduce the soreness of the muscle by bringing the blood supply into it to repair it.

Reduces fatigue. Following exercise the muscle soreness can cause fatigue, but stretching will reduce or eliminate this possibility.

Improves posture. The greater length the muscle is the better we are able to stand tall and move well. A body builder will increase muscle he reduces the ability to move so well due to too much tissue at a joint and little or no stretching in their fitness programme.

There are 5 different types of stretches static stretching being one of them. But all of them we do at our Strength & Balance classes in Mannofield & Cults.

Cults Bowling Club, 293 North Deeside Road

Try Lawn Bowls This Summer!

T

he weather has finally started to warm up and it is time to consider some outdoor activities for the summer months. Bowls is a great game that can be enjoyed at any age and at any level you wish from a casual get together on a nice day or a friendly fixture against another club. There are many competitions and leagues as well for those who really get the bug!

Cults Bowling Club would love to welcome new members whether they be complete beginners or returning to the game after a break. The Club is in a fantastic location just to the east of Cults village centre, lying between the North Deeside Road and the old railway line. It is a lovely quiet location and a positive suntrap whenever the sun does make an appearance.

If you just want a chat about the club, come down on a Tuesday morning when the maintenance team will be working away. They are more than happy to talk to visitors about the club and how it works (if you time it right, you may get a rowie!). If you would prefer to come when we are playing, our first event is the Opening of the Green on Saturday 14th April at 2:00pm, including afternoon tea. There is also a family event welcoming children, parents and grandparents on Sunday afternoon 10th June. Failing that just come down to the Club any evening and enjoy a drink in the bar and find out more about the game and the Club The club has a very informative website at https://cultsbowlingclub.weebly.com/ where you can find details and reports of last year’s events and the socials held over the winter season. There are even some tips on how to play the game. Membership is very good value with a number of options available. Feel free to come down and just try the game before you join. If you need any further information then please contact John Fletcher at john.fletcher11@btinternet.com or on 07989 073722.

Pedicures Most of us neglect our feet. They spend much of their lives covered up – out of sight and out of mind – and yet I for one love to give them the occasional pamper and am convinced they thank me for it!

A pedicure, professionally done, is a therapeutic treatment for feet which can support chiropody if you have foot problems, can assist posture by helping you to walk more comfortably and can soothe and relax you whilst being done.

Typically, a pedicure will begin with a soak of your feet in warm, scented water which will both cleanse and soften the skin. This is then followed by an exfoliating rub to get rid of dead skin. Salts and minerals are used, but exfoliation may also be done with pumice, especially on the heels or ball of the foot.

A massage of the feet with creams and aromatherapy oils follows, to refresh and soften the skin. You may also be treated to a massage of the lower leg.

Finally, cuticles will be clipped and nails cut and shaped before nail polish is applied to send you away with pretty toes! Any style of polish can be applied, from a French pedicure with white tips to gel polish which gives a longlasting glossy finish which dries instantly.

With summer approaching, now is the time to get your feet ready for those open toe sandals!

National Smile Month National Smile Month runs from May 19th to June 19th. It’s all about oral hygiene. Here are our top tips.

Brush your teeth - At least two minutes twice a day using fluoride toothpaste. Make sure you clean your teeth before bed, as your mouth doesn’t have the same salivary protection during the night as it does during the day.

Floss - Each tooth has five sides; a toothbrush only cleans three sides. The other two sides are where most decay and foul odours originate.

To clean between the teeth requires dental floss or tiny inter-dental brushes.

Clean your tongue - This is an important part of oral hygiene and works wonders with stale, smelly breath. You can use a tongue scraper or a toothbrush Give up smoking - Smoking dries the mouth, depleting the protective saliva. It also exposes your gums, soft palate and tongue to harmful and cancer-causing toxins, and it makes your breath smell.

Use a mouthwash - This freshens breath and coats the teeth with a protective layer, helping to prevent plaque build-up.

Cut out sugary foods and drinks - Sugary snacks feeds the bacteria in your mouth which ultimately break down your enamel and cause decay.
