Is 'Cranial Osteopath' swanky enough? Caus I been there.
I've also been bemoaning the misfortune of a blocked eustachian tube, something that occurred when my left ear failed to 'pop' on descent into Gatwick from Geneva. It doesn't sound like much but it's thrown me for a loop and no mistake.

The pups went in for their nip-tuck ops a week ago last Thursday. The meant gentle walks on the lead post-op which removed a running opportunity. Hook that all up with regular 4 hour round trips to visit Mum in hospital and I've had little time for much other than work/ eat/ sleep.

Happily there is light at the end of the tunnel and it doesn't appear to be an onrushing train. The visit to the CO achieved a minor shift in the ear blockage, enough to return some balance and remove the sense that someone had left the TV on inside my head. Then Mum came out of hospital last Thursday (not totally fixed but well enough to get home) and the pups are fully healed and back in full flight. I celebrated with back-to-back runs to BlackCap over the weekend and another 6k yesterday. As I bash away at this remarkably small iPhone keypad I'm basking in another beautiful sunrise about to strap on my runners.

Here's to June, and progress.
