Off for Hawksey’s 50th!
Probably be on radio silence for the next couple of weeks as we are off to Kerala for a week, then on to Baros in the Maldives for Mr H's actual 50th birthday. (I say 'actual' as he seems to have been milking it for several weeks already and the phrase 'birthday year' has also…

Where’s ma chicken??
Blimey. Today I have not only selected and booked a vegetarian restaurant for lunch, I have actually managed to go and eat there – and not actually miss ma beloved chicken (too much). Met up with Cato (ex AV amazeballs bird) who is a meat-free kind of gal at Vanilla Black off Chancery Lane. Apparently…

Latest Prof
Urrgggh – had a HIDEOUS appointment last week with Prof, so skin-crawly that I'm only making myself post it here now. Was nothing to do with my results, but I had a massive wobble-out while in the delightful enclaves of the charmingly-named Cancer Centre London (as Parkside oncology is now known – and which I…

Hawksey meets Baldrick
Bizarre but true. Mr H went to watch Bristol City vs Leyton Orient last night in East London – oh the glamour – as he and the boys all have old Bristol links, and obviously any excuse for a boys night out and a kebab on the way home. Anyway – apparently Tony Robinson is…

Ko-leee-aan
Well that's a very un-PC title for a post – but sod it, it's my blog and I swear that's how Koreans pronounce their nationality. Had a top night out last night with Janine, Clare & Sarah T for Clare Greenwood's impending birthday (Happy Birthday Greeners – it's today!). Started at Opium, a private bar…

Being ‘Nursed’
So – there is a new phrase in our house. One that has been trialled on several occasions and each time has proven to be all the more true. It is called 'being Nursed'. It has nothing to do with existing illness, but everything to do with extremely likely impending sickness. It is what happens…

Cooty weekend
Played hockey on Sat and managed to get totally beaten up – big fat bruise on left forearm (right on the muscle, that was a good effort by the girl concerned), sore foot (yes, kicking the ball endlessly again but still in meeting – will call soon as can x not managing to stop the…

Facet Joint Injections
Well yesterday was a whole new thrilling experience – my first crack at having some facet joint injections. Was absolutely cacking it as Hawksey has had it done in the past and was giving me his 'oh it's really not that bad' spiel when clearly his face was saying 'it's absolutely foul'. and Liz T…

y & Sophie celebratory dinner
Wow – didn't the girls do incredibly well? Almost £20,000 round shiny pounds in the coffers so far from their 12 massive events of 2014, all done for Myeloma UK, which is a monumental effort on their part. So Mr H & I had them, plus the lovely Jules, round for dinner last night to…

Last week, the ski helmet box
This week – as I sit quietly at the kitchen table, doing some work – another 'how to scare your owner senseless when her laptop bag starts to rustle and move on the kitchen counter of its own accord' moment. I now know why they call people 'cat burglars' – that moggy can creep into…
