  • Birthday bonanza

    My, how I do love milking a birthday for all it's worth – still going 4 weeks after the event! Headed off to a spa in West Sussex last Thursday with Janine – only feeling slightly guilty that we'd abandoned porr Ross who was having something nasty cut off his eyelid. No, not a stray…

  • THE Party

    OK, so the big 45th bash was over a week ago now – but it's taken me that long to recover! WHAT A TOP NIGHT….. Just amazing to look around the room at all your ugly mugs and think 'well, here are 100 human reasons why the past 45 years have been very good to me'. I…

  • Middle Aged Entertainment

    Oh my god, I can hardly believe I am about to share something as sad as this, but, in for a penny… Bought a 6 pack of those cheapo plastic sack thingies that you can stuff your duvets, pillows, summer clothes or whatever into, and then shrink them down to 1/4 of the size. WHAT…

  • Good Prof results

    Well, Prof's obviously decided I needed a birthday treat from him too, as this latest result is the best in ages. The dreaded paraprotein number has still gone up but only up to 5.88 from 5.54, which is a mere 6% increase and about as good as it gets, given the last 2 rises were 20% and 30%.…

  • I Love Billy

    So, I know it's not cool, or trendy, or massively popular with pretty much anyone else, but I am willing to stand up and be counted. I Love Billy Joel. There, I've said it. Yep, the Billy Joel, song-writer, singer, piano player, serial marrier, of 64 year old fame and probably a fair bit of fortune. And whom…

  • Hoot of a Birthday Treat

    So then – Liz Tinlin knows me quite well as she came up trumps with a cracking birthday treat this week. A veritable triumverate of active madness – perfect for a slightly damp November day in a Sussex forest resplendent with ghouls hanging from treetops and some fetching beheaded ghosties by the car park.. Activity…

  • Small Nieces Visit

    They may be small, but man do the mini Clogs pack a punch. Cathy's two sproglets were over last week with her and the hubby – now aged 5.5 and 2.5 (the kids, that is..). Blonde and babbling away in Dutch at all times, unless it's to release the only magic phrase that Lily thinks it…

  • Gallingly turquoise photo smuggery

    You have been warned – here come a mere handful of the most stunningly coloured and wowser photos I've ever had the pleasure of taking, and looking back on. H and I were watching a programme on the South Pacific last night sighing away saying 'we were there just last week', already seems like a…

  • South Pacific Highlights

    Blimey, so much to say after our 3 weeks in the US and the South Pacific. In a nutshell, it was bloody great. (Apart from the being up now blogging at 3am part, due to the horror jetlag after a 36 hour journey home, but hey ho, I know your hearts are bleeding for me……
