4 days away – lovely!
Just back from 4 days away (from the office, which makes them all the sweeter) Went down to Lymington to reacquaint ourselves with H's beloved boat, which is definitely the other woman in his life. The man was literally hopping from foot to foot like an infatuated schoolboy, spying Mrs Robinson across the room. 'Ooh…

Champions!
So, a mighty fine result on the hockey field yesterday when our supersonic squad of over 35s (see photo below) finally won the National Womens 'Masters' Plate final. A translation: 1. 'Masters' = old fuckers over 35 2. Plate = teams who get knocked out in the first round of the National cup by some…

Phew – Prof Happy
God – it never gets any bloody easier, in the run up to an appointment with Prof. Not helped probably by driving to hockey this Sun with two chums talking about how someone's husband had died the night before, young, from cancer, in a hospice. Possibly one of the subjects that scares the shit out…

Sunshine and Exercise
It's a miracle – we all had a nice weekend! Zoe came to stay for 2 nights, so we hoofed her off to see Billy Elliot at the theatre (bribery that a weekend in London is a good thing to be repeated), though what you're meant to say when she whispers 'what does Wanker mean?' half…

All you have to do is imagine an overweight beast, with a shock of ginger/grey corkscrew…

La Casa di Franco, Italia
Hey peeps, just back from a molto bene weekend in Italy, staying at the world renowned Casa di Franco. So that's Tony's fab house that he's had built in the Tuscan/Umbrian hills. Tip top highlight for me was definitely our lunch in Florence – People keep asking 'did you see this sight, or that sight'…

Experimenting with a Link (to a Game!)
Right – not entirely sure how to do a link in a blog but I came across this Travel game in my saved emails and its still brilliant (Jo Close -think I originally got this from you?) Each game takes a minute or so – great for travel buffs and geography nargs, and for anyone idle…

Rogue Moggy
Well, 'pussy by name and pussy by nature' seems to have been the rule proven in our house this week. No, I don't mean me (clearly I am more of a 'tiger'.. in my dreams). No, Conker & Mojo have this week been usurped by a large tabby intruder of the furry four-footed variety. So while one can't…
