The fly in the ointment

Philippa is starting to get a few appointments for her Sports Massage Therapy things. (apologies for not knowing exactly what her qualification is - these things are rather complicated.) They're all people that she knows, but they're still paying for the service, so it's a good start. I think she'll be more comfortable when she's treating strangers, as they are seeing you as a professional from the moment they contact you, rather than watching you trying to change career in your 30s, but so far the odd little appointment seems to be boosting her confidence and helping her learn her way. Her main goal at the moment seems to be to create the perfect massage oil, as she's not happy with the ones she's been supplied with. I think she has a little dream (or 'long-term plan' maybe?) where she releases her own line of products and makes us a nice family fortune. She is currently mixing different oils together and trying them out, which is nice for me as I get to be the guinea pig that she tries these things out on. I am spending rather a lot of time in the evenings being covered in oil and rubbed by my wife, so I guess I'm living the dreams of several men at once. And if she DOES hit on some kind of magic elixir that is perfect and sells like hot cakes, then I can retire early and live on her profit, so that's a good thing too, I guess...
