Ocean Film Festival 2016
Not much would drag me to Islington on a Monday evening but Nicky & Sophie managed to haul me out to see the Ocean Film Festival, which was on at the rather quickly Union Chapel up in Iz. They showed 6-7…

Rotary at Lambeth Palace
Was asked by Rotary Battersea if we could help at an event in Lambeth Palace, aimed at raising funds towards the annual old people's Christmas Day lunch that we volunteered at last year – so Janine and I tootled along yesterday to help out. And out came those delightful Rotary volunteer yellow tops and caps…

Girls’ Day Out
Very nice day Thurs (well, once the 2 hour irritating wait at Parkside for my 20 second Velcade injection was over – that was as grrrrrrr as ever). Picked up oldest chum Claire White from Epsom and drove down to Brighton. Very nice cheeky Thai lunch at the cutely named Giggling Squid, with a friendly…

The Never Ending Builders
So – it was meant to be an 11 week job, starting in mid June. Meaning the lovely Polish builders should have been finished and gone by mid Sept, or even the end of Sept to be fair, as we did add in a couple of jobs in as the work got underway. And who…

Live at the Apollo
Managed to snarf some freebie tickets for Live at the Apollo yesterday – went along with Janine & Clare G. Always handy when it's Hammersmith rather than the schlep to the O2 – and managed a rather nice pre-comedy dinner at Bills beforehand. Always slightly odd eating food at 5.30pm – makes it feel more…

Malta Schmalta / Gozo Goodzo
Hmm, not entirely sure I'd recommend Malta to anyone, one of those cases where the guide book has def 'bigged up' the paucity of sights and you find yourself looking at some plain old stones heaped together under a Unesco tent, going 'really?!' Our visit to the legendary 'Clapham Junction cart ruts' probably sums up…

Off to Malta & Gozo
Well, we've got as far as Thursday daytime and so far no issues – I think Mr H & I may indeed be heading off this Saturday at gnat's crack on our first holiday away together in 2016 – and boy do we deserve some time off for good behaviour. We've got 2 nights in…

Sort of a Big Day
Saw Prof today – a weird moment as is the 8th anniversary today of me meeting him for the first time and being diagnosed with this previously unheard-of thing called Myeloma. And as ever the Myeloma mystery path continues. I seem to have already hit a plateau using the new wonder drug, Dara. But this…
