Catch up with the Added Value Directors
A long overdue evening out last night with the AV Directors – really good to catch up with everyone, see what's going on in the business (mucho change, whole load of Kantarness occurring). And to have a few really rather nice cocktails in this new restaurant on Maple Road Surbiton – think it's just called…

Tennessee & Miami photos
Here it comes in pictorial format – the bizarrely entertaining and off-the-grid 4 days in Tennessee (yes, maaaaaaaaam!) followed by 4 slightly more stylish and trendy (well, the place, not us necessarily) days in good old Miami. Proof that we did actually venture into and up the Great Smoky Mountains – clock that white…

Phoneless
So who's the massive eejit who managed to rush to Parkside yesterday for chemo, in a flap as meant to be queueing in Wim Park for tennis tickets, and was then a mega stressed total berk when she dropped her iPhone down the toilet in her haste? Yep, that'll be me then. Please email me…

Spot of Tennis
So, the tennis plan this week is to go with the lovely Liz Lewzey tomorrow – although the forecast is looking a bit shit right now. So we may be holed up in the Debenture holders lounge, drinking ver paced spins and gassing the day away. Then for Janine and I to head to the…

The Post Hols Blues
Ah, we had a ball. The 4 days in Miami were their usual marvellous mix of shopping, pottering, sweltering in 90+ degree heat, savouring the air conditioning of our three floor loft with roof terrace, (s)wanking about in our silver Mustang, paddling in the hotel pool, knocking back cocktails, trying our both new and old…

Day 4 in Tennessee
Yep, that in itself is a bizarre thought. Still savouring the joy of that first Bucks Fizz on the Virgin flight, taking off and knowing America was just around the corner. Landing in an incredibly polite Atlanta with the fastest immigration system ever (look and learn Miami!) – more 'welcome to Atlanta, ma'am' than you…

11 hours to take off
Well, it's looking more likely than ever now. It's 10.45pm, I'm just back from 'date night' with a rather tired hubby and the alarm is set for 5.15am. Not that I'll probably get much kip – I am both over-excited and the brightest red ever today, a delectable combination of my last set of rouge-inducing…

Packing Day
I think, with three days to go, it's almost safe to believe that we are actually going to go on holiday on Wednesday. I haven't dared actually pack anything as yet – the closest has been to move my sarong, holiday purse, plug adapters etc that live on the middle floor, to the stairs leading…

Just the three times, then…
People sometimes say 'if you're not working, how do you keep yourself busy?' Ah the joyful naivety of those who have decent health still…. Now sitting at Parkside for the third time, just today. First visit 10am for bloods and pee test. Did that, trotted the hound on the Common, headed home. Was expecting to…
