C'est Si Bon
Whatever that means???
I thought that after the excesses of the last few weeks, I would try and get things back on track - well back to obsessive dieting and exercising in any case! That seems to have got off to a slow start this week... but at least it is on the cards! ;-) On a more sorrowful note, Jen has left my time zone this week... she is safely home, am glad to say (not quite out of the jet lag zone) - and am going to try and upload some piccies tonight of her stay with me a couple of weeks back (and mine and Mark's Poland trip).

First off, before I start telling you what I have had for dinner the last few days, check out this gorgeous picture of little Namar and Tesla that she sent me this week! He is 4 months old, and is reportedly quite close to crawling already! Bless him... hopefully will catch up with them both soon.
Had a great week and weekend last week. Friday night, we did very little (I can't even remember what it was we did do, so must have been exciting!). Saturday, I headed over to Lowestoft for the weekend. Spent the morning with Janine and Simon, and little Lola (who is more gorgeous than ever - a very kissable and chatty, smiley little pixie faced darling). We spent some of it looking for Forsythe (their cat) who seems to have gone AWOL (mental note - must ask Janine if he has turned up since!). In the afternoon, we went over to Tracy's and took the boys and Lola onto the beach for a play on the sand (Oscar and Lola's first experience of sand au naturel - which was a joy to behold). After a little walk in the beautiful sunshine and, some yummy chips on the seafront, Janine headed off and we dropped the boys over at Sam's new house - he has moved into another mansion stylee house backing onto the broads. This one needs a lot of work, but is massive... 7 bedrooms!! The perfect bachelor pad?!!!! In the evening, Tracy and I went to pick up some supplies at Asda, and spent the evening in her kitchen stuffing our faces, quaffing wine, and putting the world to rights...
After an evening putting the world to rights, Tracy was a bit tense all day Sunday (one of the drawbacks of over-analysis I guess)... we went with Mum and Dad to order their conservatory furniture, and had a look round a garden centre (I have the gardening bug again!). We had a lovely lunch in The Waveney Hotel in Beccles, which has a gorgeous seated area by the river and very acceptable food too. In the evening, I just headed home and cooked dinner for Mark and I.
Not much else happened this week. We went to see Histon FC win again last night (it's so predictable now!! hehe...), and am looking forward to celebrating their promotion into the Conference league this weekend!!! YAY! Actually... it will be the Blue Square Premier League next year, but that's just splitting hairs... they have done amazingly well for a tiny village's team!
We also managed to catch and "scare" the phantom pee spraying tom-cat last night that has been terrorising Mia and making our house smell like cat wee central... Mark frightened the pants off it, and dunked it in some cold water (didn't hurt it), but then he was awake most of the night racked with guilt as it looked so sad when he had done it! Perhaps he is softer than he thinks ;-)
I went to Addenbrookes yesterday re: my clicky jaw, and found out that I DON'T need surgery - hurrah! However, I may need to wear a gum shield in bed and at my desk at work, which will supposedly re-align my jaw.... how alluring! ;-) Robert also got some very good news re: a lump in his groin, which seems to not be as serious as he thought. Poor Sofie however has had some tests and found that she has an over-active thyroid, and MAY need surgery... fingers crossed she doesn't and it will be treatable by tablets. I am really looking forward to seeing her at the end of the month; she is coming over to Cambridge to stay for a few days with her Mum, so that should be a nice change of scenery for both of them. It's been a right week for medical matters!
Anyway... dinner with Emma tonight, including a run along the river bank... looking forward to it!! Lindsey contacted me this morning, and our misunderstanding is cleared up... thankfully. I just hope that she and Mark sort themselves out - or at least are happy without each other. Either way, I wish them both well. We also have a moving out date for Kurt, and Jez and Marta move back to Madrid next month, so it looks like life is looking up for them all too....
Hope you are all well...
Lots of love

Easter Parade
What a fantastic weekend. I had such a lovely Easter - it is such a shame to be back at work! Ah well... no rest for the wicked!
Anyway... a run down for the weekend!
Good Friday
Got up uber early (with Mark, as he was off to work), and made my way to sunny (very sunny) Norwich for the day, and for what turned out to be the night as well. This was such a lovely day our meeting up with friends I haven't seen for ages. Arrived at Annie and Jack's nice and early for breakfast, which was simply delicious. Annie excelled herself as usual, and laid out a mighty feast - croissants, bread, organic yoghurt, honey, jam, fresh raspberries, fresh grilled pineapple, toasted coconut, cereal, hot cross buns etc... all washed down with some delicious fruit juice and fresh coffee. Was lovely to catch up with them and hear more about their holiday in NZ in catch up with some family chit chat. My house looked pretty good too (I have some new tenants), and spied one of them leaving the house - she looked young and pretty, and I think she is living there with a friend of a similar age. All is good!
At lunch, I went to see Jane and Jamie. Was GREAT to catch up with them. They both look well and happy as usual, and are in the process of buying a rather gorgeous house quite close to them - bigger than their current one, and has a huge 60ft garden. I think that the inside of the house needs some work doing to it, but am sure it is nothing that they can't handle. Jamie cooked some delicious pasta sauce and tortellini... divine!
Later in the afternoon, I picked up my cousin Mark and took him round to see Nicki and Carlos's new house; again, it needs some work doing to the inside (they have already done the lounge, which looks GORGEOUS), and has a MASSIVE garden, which they are setting about doing! Cousin-Mark seemed ok, although a little perturbed (perhaps more than he lets on) about the absence of Lindsey in his house; she moved out at the weekend, and I didn't actually manage to see her. It seems though that I may have inadvertently upset her with some of my frank advice over Christmas, so am regretful about that situation (but not necessarily what I actually said). In the evening, my plans to drive home were dashed... we ended up drinking in Norwich at the rather pleasant Bird Cage pub (used to be the Pottergate Tavern, and has been massively refurbished), and then Bedfords... it all ended up not so glamorously - my cousin and I stuffed Pizza from Caspians, and then went back to his and had garlic mash and more beer (for some reason!).
Saturday
I got up dead early and ran Cousin-Mark down to the station, as he was off to watch Newcastle vs Sheffield UTD play at Sheffield. I drove home, got scrubbed up, and went to Mark's parents for the rest of the morning, and spent it sunbathing in their garden. Went to see Histon FC in the afternoon with Mark's dad (2-1 win to Histon, yay!), and then just had an early night really!
Sunday
We drove over to Lowestoft in the morning, straight to Mum and Dad's. The weather was gorgeous again, so went for a walk along what used to be the "Waveney Way", but is now called "Angles Way" or summat?! Anyway... it was a lovely afternoon - walking near the Broads and the Somerleyton estate. We had a nice couple of drinks afterwards in The Dukes Head in Somerleyton, which has really nice beer garden that we sat around in. In the evening, we went to Tracy's for dinner (gorgeous pies from her shop), drank wine and played some silly games with Henry. Highlight of the evening was when I noticed that the boxes that the pies come in have "open flaps and munch" written on the side of them (with no lack of irony) - I sniggered, Mark sniggered, Tracy sniggered... my mum kept reading it out loud in a monotone voice, without getting it. We cried... bits of pie came out of my nose. It was a mess ;-)
Easter Monday
We had a REALLY lovely day in Fritton Lake, with my Mum and Dad, Henry and Oscar. Poor Tracy can't take any time off over the Easter weekend, as this is easily the busiest weekend of her year, so we wanted to do something fun for Henry. Fritton Lake is just lovely - only £5 each to get in (much less than most), but everything thrown in for free. Free use of rowing boats and pedalos on the lake, putting, horse rides (for £1 extra), a play park with a bouncy pillow thingy (a variation on a bouncy castle), and loads of lovely grounds to picnic in... Henry had such a good time there, and we had fun watching him. Was really pleasant - I can highly recommend it.
In the afternoon, we visited Nanny and Grandad, which was nice. Got the football scores for yesterday (Histon won AGAIN! Deffo on for promotion to Conference!), and Mum cooked us a lovely roast dinner.
Wish I could repeat that kind of weekend ad infinitum!
Hope you all had a good Easter!
Lots of love

Bonnie Scotland
Had a fantastic few days with Jen last week, and am REALLY looking forward to a long Easter weekend.
Here is the low down on my last few days...
Wednesday
Flew up to Glasgow last Wednesday evening. Very easy flight, and was picked up by Jen and her father-in-law (known as "WJ"). We went straight off to meet John and his friends David and Lindsey in their local pub to watch the Scotland V Italy match on TV. We had a really nice evening. Can't believe it was around 3.5 years since I saw David and Lindsey last, and 3 or so since I saw Jen and John - as soon as I saw them it was if we had only been together last week. I guess that is the measure of true friendship!
Thursday
Got up in the morning and was immediately greeted by little Helena. An amazing feeling, meeting one of your best friend's children for the first time (I was almost a bit nervous!). She was gorgeous - a little bundle of golden curls, and lots of attitude! In my previous experience, first borns are a little nervous, perhaps a little clingy, and prone to crying fits. Helena is loud, opinionated, and gutsy as hell! This girl knows no fear! Head first off the climbing frame? No worries!! Fall over and graze your knees? No problemo! She is adorable, and not far off talking whole sentences. This is a girl who knows what she wants out of life. Nobody will be putting *that* particular baby in the corner!
After breakfast, and an introduction to The Wiggles and Dora the Explorer, we headed off in the rain to the Kelvingrove museum in central Glasgow. We had a very pleasant second breakfast in the cafe there, and a wander around some of the exhibits (well... a look at ONE computer exhibit that Helena was rather taken with), and even saw a real life stuffed Haggis, complete with long hair and a fluffy tail... hmmmm....
At lunch time, Jen and I had a look around some of the shops in East Kilbride (unfortunately I didn't manage to avoid Primark, and filled up with more cheap smock tops than any human would ever feasibly require). In the afternoon, we took Helena to one of those soft play centres with the balls etc...? That was really good fun, and we managed to stick jelly tots all over the inside of the car on the way home... heh.
Jen cooked a delicious Spanish chicken stew type thing for dinner, and she and I headed down to their local for a nice smoke-free few beers (has made me unable to wait for July 1st now, when the smoking ban starts!). The evening went well until Jen abandoned me and went to bed... and then it descended into chaos as I sat up until silly-o-clock chatting to John's pares about god only knows what. Good fun though!
Friday
In the morning we all took Helena to a lovely wildlife park for a look at some of the weird and wonderful animals they have there. I was amazed by how many creatures they had there that I have never seen before? Is Scotland *that* foreign?!?! They had Coatis? And some weird Laughing Thrush type bird, the likes of which I have never seen or heard! At lunch time, Jen, John and I headed to the rather packed local and had a delicious lunch (boy, did I need something to soak up the wine and beer from the night before!); mine was Haggis and all the trimmings for starter, and then a delicious cheese and bacon burger with chips... you can see how my diet went this last week! ;-)
In the afternoon we had to leave poor Helena behind (poor Jen was perturbed by this), and we headed back to mine via Stansted. Mark picked us up at the airport (was nice for them to meet at last), and we all went to the local for a few pints and the curry house for a curry. Felt extremely bloated on return home!
Saturday
In the morning, I showed Jen the delights of the village; the bakers, the toy shop and gift shop etc... then we popped to see Mark's parents, and then headed over to Bedford to watch the mighty Stutes play! I *think* Jen quite enjoyed it, and was worthwhile going to see them win! I think she liked watching Lance sail through the air with his usual grace ;-)
In the evening, we met up with Nigel and his mates in town (Russell and Jim); we went for drinks in The Eagle and The Pickerel, which was really good fun.
Sunday
Jen and I went shopping all morning (spent far too much moulah!), had a nice lunch in the Cornish Pasty shop, and then met up with Mark who took us punting up the Cam... was SUCH a gorgeous afternoon, and perfect weather for taking out the punts!
In the evening we went for dinner in The Plough at Coton - I swear they do the best fish and chips I have ever tasted!
Monday unfortunately came too fast and had a good snivel over saying goodbye to my beloved Jen at the train station... she was heading off to London to catch up with more friends of hers.
The rest of this week has been pretty uneventful. Went to see Histon FC play again (and win!) on Tuesday night (YAY!), and Chris from work joined us, which was good. Last night I just shopped at Tescos for Easter eggs, and then spent the entire night trying to catch a tom cat that has been peeing in our house! Poor Mia is traumatised by said cat - so we had decided to trap it in the kitchen overnight and give it a good scare! What we hadn't reckoned on was it wrecking the joint before making a Houdini style escape (GOD KNOWS HOW), so now I think it's in real trouble now! Darn thing!!!
Anyway... have a great Easter! I am planning to catch up with lots of friends and family over the weekend, and can't wait to leave off today!
Much love

PS. BIG love to Srey Neath and Andy who are getting married in Phnom Penh this weekend. SO sorry we couldn't make it, but hopefully we will catch up with you guys soon. All our love xxxx
