After the Hyde v City match, I went to stay with Mum as I hadn’t seen her for a month or so, and as I had the following Monday and Tuesday off work, stayed until Tuesday morning, making a nice little break. On the Sunday, Mum and I went shopping and as ever, I helped [...]
Just before the bank holiday weekend I found out that Billy was making me a cricket widow for the duration, and that my colleague and I were swapping work days the following week, meaning I had the Tuesday off work too. Hmmm, what to do with the extra time? Sadly, everything that needs doing around [...]
On Thursday morning, I packed my things (badly – in a rush and not knowing what the weather was likely to do!) in to my new bright pink ruck-sack (a present from Billy as I felt a rucksack would be more practical on this trip than a suitcase.) I had a smooth trip down to [...]
Mum sent me this list cut from her newspaper a while back and I thought I’d post the list and tick them off if/when I’ve done them: 1. Listing three good things that have happened today Did a good gym workout; Received mine and mum’s tickets for Palace v West Brom; Sorted out the last [...]
My week, one darts night to the next….. hence “Point to Point” Groan! Friday week ago, we had no darts fixture but we decided to all get together anyway for a bit of practise and some fun. There were ten of us in all so we played two teams of five (names selected randomly from [...]
On Sunday morning I slept in until late and didn’t emerge until 8am – mum had been up a while and had waited for me so we could breakfast together on bacon bagels. (Nel had a bacon sandwich later, when she got up.) Nel was spending the day with her friend Rachael and we dropped [...]
On Boxing Day, the men were all planning on lazing around at home as they were not going to their game this year. Nel and I set off early for Chester and drove through fog, sleet, rain, and even a little sunshine! That aside, the journey was smooth enough, though it was a bit of [...]
On the 23rd of December, I had a quiet day in my clinic, having already sorted out all my patients for the holiday. I spent it catching up on admin, which was rather satisfying, and then in the evening, Billy came and met me when he finished work. We had arranged to join Roger and [...]
On Friday evening, after my clinic, Billy’s work and Raji’s return with the car (yes, we’re STILL car sharing!) Billy and I set off for Chester to stay the night with mum, as there was no darts that night. We were going together to the City v Sunderland match on the Saturday and since the [...]
On Friday morning, mum and I travelled separately to London by train for our girls’ weekend together to see “Dirty Dancing”. My own morning had been a little fraught as I could not find my seat reservation for the Newcastle to London part of the journey and had to badger the ticket staff at our [...]
