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..

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……

(High) Society Islands
At last – tomorrow Mr H & I are finally off on our quest towards the Society Islands, part of French Polynesia or the South Pacific, whichever vaguely twangs a chord in your brain that say 'bloody hewll, that's a long way away'. Heading to San Francisco first to hook up with Janine & Ross…

Night out with the Nurses
No, not the 'white pinnie and brisk bedside manner' variety, more the 'soiree with John & Hannah Nurse' type of event. I had to wait 3 days to write this, as that's about how long it's taken me to get over the hangover. It all started so innocently – dinner at Tsunami in Clapham. Yes,…
