H’s new man toy
So – what's a good idea to buy for a household with two rather overweight adults in it, who eat far too much as it is??? Yes, according to Mr H, we needed a food mixer KitchenAid thingy so he can make cakes. Whaaaaat???? Seriously???? First one emerged yesterday – pretending that because it was…

Jane & Janine’s birthdays
Think I might have eaten rather a lot these last few weeks.. Nipped up to the village last week for Jane & Janine's combined birthdays, as they are both late November girls.

Bit of back news..
Hmm, interesting times. I went to see a different back specialist at a Parkside recently, to work out for once and for all if there is anything that can be done to improve my back. First meeting was as expected – he looked my recent MRI and said that while it’s a degenerative mess,…

So firstly, Mr H: Has now finished his rather gruelling 39 radiotherapy sessions, after his summer of chemo. He's pretty tired and wiped out, which is exactly what the doc…

Cooty Sat
Nipped off yesterday to Reigate to watch the Aces play – and sadly lose again – on my way down to stay at the cottage for 2 nights. J&R knocked out a fantastic lamb roast, complete with sprouts and cauliflower cheese, mmmmm – and this morning we headed off up Cissbury Ring for a dig…

Meeting Little Jasper
Popped round to Nursey & Sophia's new house in Chiswick on Sunday for a 1pm lunch. Certainly experienced the 'joys' of new parenthood as H and Nurse were locked away in older sister Elizabeth's bedroom constructing her 'big girl bed' for several hours while I padded the streets with Sophia and Jasper, and an impatient…

Dancing Dinner at Dora
Well it was supposed to be an early start, earlyish finish as Mr H is pretty tired now he has almost finished his 39 radiotherapy sessions (last one today!), but as ever it didn't quite turn out like that. We managed the early start – and then it went on from there! …
